FRENCH PLAY SET
FOR TONIGHT
—PAT HANKINS
At eight o’clock tonight the cur
tain will rise on the fourth annual
presentation of the French play,
this year being “Le Malade Imag-
inaire.”
The scene opens in the sitting
room of a very fine house some
where in France. Argan, the imig-
inary sick man, is seen in the
center of the stage, and all c-
tion takes place around him and
in this room.
Argan is a hypocondriac of the
first degree. He believes himself
to be horribly sick and at the
point of dying at any moment.
Toinette, his maid, knows that
he is not really sick, and spends
the entire play trying to con
vince him of the fact.
A secondary plot revolves
around his daughter, Angelique,
and her attachment to a young
man, Cleante.
How these plots are spun and
ended are going to be very funny
to all who attend. Much time and
effort have been put into this
play, and Miss Imogene Riddick
has outshone herself in directing
and producing the play.
The cast is as follows: Argan,
Charles Tesh, Toinette, Pat Han
kins; Belin, Argans wife, Carol
Honeycutt; Angelique, his daugh
ter, Betty McMillan; Louison, an
other daughter, Elaine Yates;
Baralde, his brother, Monika
Kolar; Cleante, Eddie Zim
merman; Monsieur Diaforus, a
doctor, Larry Michael; Thomas
Diaforus, his son, Keith Briggs;
Monsieur Purgon, another doctor,
Eddie Holmes; Monsieur Fleurant,
a pharmacist, Darrell R e v i s
Monsieur Bonnefoi, a lawyer,
Bruce Beck.
Also-, a chorus of Moorish Wom
en under the superb direction of
Miss Bobbie Bruton, has been
hard at work. These girls include
Sue Hall, Brenda Walser, Charyle
McDade, Julee Smith, Dianna
Calloway, Chippie Everhart, Ann
Smith, Katherine Upchurch, Bet-
tie Bridges, Cheryl Hollman,
Jackie Fidler, and Dolly Black.
All are urged to attend this fine
performance, for it is certain that
everyone will enjoy it. Tickets
may be bought from any French
student, or at the door. As usual,
a large and enthusiastic audience
is expected.
