Cast Practicing Steadily For Six Weeks,
Under Direction of Miss Spencer,
Continues Junior Play Tradition.
At 8:15 tonight in the GHS audi
torium, the curtain will rise on
“Three-Cornered Moon,” the Junior
Play, a three-act sophisticated com
edy by Gertrude Tonkonogy, which
played successfully on Broadway
for two years.
The story centers around the
Rimplegar family, who exchange
witticisms about the depression.
The announcement of the collapse
of the family fortune leaves the
whole bunch “lost in the fog,” un
til Dr. Alan Stevens assumes the re
sponsibility of helping them out of
their difficulty. In spite of all this,
the Rimplegars never give up their
peculiar humor and innate flip
pancy.
Gertrude Edgerton portrays Mrs.
Rimplegar, the dazed, rattle-brained
woman whose gestures are uncer
tain and actions belated. Helen Den
ning plays Elizabeth, her daughter,
an egotistical, nonchalant, irrespon
sible person who claims to know all
the answers. The other Rimplegars
are: Douglas, who thinks he has
dramatic ability, done by J. C. Har
rell; Ed, who furnishes plenty of
humor, played by Frank Broad
hurst; Kenneth, the eldest, who af
fects Harvardian speech, enacted
by Dick Sherman.
Donald, playea by George Den
mark, is an awkward but charming
author who is in love with Eliza
beth. Kitty, played by Effie Ruth
Maxwell, is an undignified Brook
lyn beauty. Dr. Stevens, portrayed
by J. D. Pike, is the only member
of the cast who possesses a certain
maturity of face and bearing. Jenny,
the maid, played by Edwina Jin
nette, is a red-cheeked, husky, Cze
choslovakian girl.
The play has been under the di
rection of Miss Fowler Spencer, who
directed “Keep Smiling” in 1939 and
“Smiling Through” in 1940, both
senior plays. Miss Spencer, who
holds an A.B. Degree in Drama from
the University of North Carolina,
has done much outstanding work
in that field, including puppets and
radio. While attending Camp Yon-
ahlasse at Blowing Rock, she took
part in the drama program there.
At the Florida State College for
Women, Miss Spencer was a mem
ber of the Florida Players. At the
