1931 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS A S all Junior Classes must raise money to banquet the Seniors, and as the Class of '32 is not an exception to the rule, it also had to secure some means whereby it might fulfill its duty and so it was decided that the class should present a play. Realizing that they must choose something above the ordinary in order to keep up with the College's high standard, they deckled to give a comedy,"Old Lady 31" by Rachel Brothers. They were fortunate in securing the services of Esther Smith Schick, to whom the Juniors owe their success. 1he.play was presented before a capacity house on Wednesday evening, April 8, 1931, and its success was apparent from the first. The lines were well spoken, all responded to their cues, and as on later remarked, "Every- thing went lovely." Wilda Auld with her meekness and Ed Hinton with his slow drawl acted the parts of Angie and Abe to perfection. The lovers played by Ruth Marshall and Ed Irons, furnished the comedy; and the necessary romance was well taken care of by Rachel Douthett and Henry Iddings, the former as Mary and the latter as John. In all, as the theatrical critics would say, it had an all-star cast, and was worthy of anyone's time to have seen it. S. M. C.
