G. H. S. Playmasters April 13
“Gosh I I always thougin iiusbands
were like the measles—yon catch them
or you don't catch them.” This is .just
a sample of the fast-moving repartee
of the Playmasters’ new production,
“The I’atsy,” by Barry Conners.
This modern comedy is to be pre
sented April 13, in the G. H. S. audi
torium. Opening with a family quarrel,
the play is then off to a fast start on
the road of romance with Patricia Har
rington, who is in love with her elder
and slightly egotistical sister’s ex-heart
throb, winning a large silver loving
cup.
The part of this ideal American girl
is portrayed bv Mai v Power Fi azier.
Thoirgh not wfdk known in the field of
dramatics, at G. H. S., Mary Power is
known through her work iir other
fields.
Billy Caldwell, the rich beau of the
elder sister, is to be played by Andrew
Goodwin instead of George Miles.

Mr. Routh, the position which is being
vacated by Miss Edna Hyams. Miss
Hyams is leaving to take up Work at
the IVest Market Street Methodist
church.
Miss Taylor holds a bachelor of music
degree, which she received at Flora

she has alternated between G. H. S.
and Superintendent Ben L. Smitlfs
