Delightful Play
Is Club’s Choice
Next Tuesday night the Dra
matic Club will present as t h e
commencement play “Come Out
of the Kitchen,” in the college
auditonum at eight-o’clock.
This is a delightful, fascina
ting, hilarious, and stirring
three-act comedy which will
bring laughs and sobs.
The story begins with a smart,
gay, and happy group of four
brothers and sisters who have
found themselves i n pathetic
financial difficulties; and they
are having to rent their house to
a rich “Yankee man” for six
weeks in order to get some ready
money. (Their father is ill, and
their mother has taken him to a
honpit;il in Europe as tlie crij'
chance to save his life.)
At the last moment as the
“Yankee” comes to visit, they
discover that no servants are to
be found; so the designing
brothers and sisters decide t o
suddenly become servants.
When Mr. Yankee-Man (played
by Leighton Presson) comes, he
immediately falls in love with
the cook, who is the oldest sister,
(playeb dy Doris Thorne). So the
whole affair becomes one stu
pendous mess, and there are two
breath-taking acts to straighten
it out.
In the supporting cast are
Misses Mildred Cogdill, Satenik
Nahikian, and Jean Mangum;
and Messrs. Eddie Carlisle,
Frank Craven, Griffin Campbell
Revis Frye, John Odom and
Russell Andrews. All of these
are members of the Dramatic
Club and have had a great deal
of experience on tke stage this
year.
“RAIN BRIDE”
Last night under the direction
of Mr. Bennett and Mr. Carlisle
students of the Department of
Religion presented the Bibical
play, “The Rain Bride,” which
was written by Dr. H. E. Spence,.
