Show Hurricane Mrs. Katharine Larson Reporters Play Presented The Hurricane high school faculty gathered a hat full of honors Saturday and Monday nights when they staged the three-act' comedy "Cappy Ricks" before large and enthusiastic audiences. The prime object in producing the play was to obtain money with which to purchase books for the high school library. The teachers from this angle feel gratified with their efforts. Those who displayed "histornic powers" were Maurice Nut tall, Cappy Ricks; Vernon Church, Skinner; Walter S. Brooks, Capt. Matt Peasley; Merrill F. Fawson, Cecil Barton; Miss Eleanor L. Nicholes, Florence Ricks; Miss Jean Kendall, Kend-all, Goldie Glake; Miss Ruth Wall, Alice Ricks; lawyer, Leo K. Homer and chauffuer, Lafayette Staheli. Many of the incidents in the play were humourous but the very fact that Fawson, Brooks, Staheli, etc. were enacting them brought titters anp gales of laughter from the high school students where merriment hadn't been the intention of the playwright. |
