C. on the September. Approximately 900 students and friends, one of the largest crowds to attend a college production, witnessed the outstanding work of the Dramateers, Saturday night, November 1, when they presented “Peg 0’ My Heart.” Superb Cast Netta Sue Caudill, of Memphis, Tenn., and a C-I, most ably played the part of Peg. Besides using Irish accent, she played the piano and sang. Mrs. Chichester, por trayed by Catherine Phillips, was the typical haughty matron in looks and actions. Iris Porter, vet eran actress, displaj^d her talents as she assumed the role of the bored - to - death daughter. Phil Weeks showed another facet of his versatile character as he acted the part of Jerry, executor of es tate, lover, bank stockholder, and holder of a title. Alaric Chichester, the indolent son, interpreted by John Scalf, seemed very much in character. With his briefcase and dignified air, Herbert Gray added acterized by Betty Price and Ned Dobson, brought several laughs. Brent, the alcoholic, was ex tremely well portrayed by Frank Goslen, who with the rest of the cast, gave what will long be re membered as an excellent per formance. The play was under the direc tion of Miss Jean Starnes, Eng lish and Dramatics teacher, who spent untold hours directing and proving her ability.
