Show "Seventeen" To He Presented 3 Times Next Week The Hinckley high school has in readiness its annual school play, which this year is Booth Tarking-ton's Tarking-ton's "Seventeen," adapted for the stage by Hugh S. Stange and Stan-' nard Mears. This is a peppy four act play, full of amusing situations which will delight the hearts of everyone. Jay Warner, as young William Sylvanus Baxter, who is seventeen, has interpreted very well the "Willie" of the book, so dear to all who have read it. Mona Allred, as the "baby-talk lady" gives an interpretation that will amuse all. The other characters have also put forth a great deal of work to interpret the parts which they play. Marie Stevens plays the part of Mrs. Baxter; while Br. Baxter Bax-ter is done by Bill Davis. Bashful and confused Johnnie is played by LeMar Terry; and sarcastic Joe is taken by Robert Carting. Genesis, the negro servant is capably done by June Hepworth. Dale Love acts the conceited part of George Croop er, and Duane Moody the ever-present ever-present Wallie Banks. Lawrence Wright is the impatient Mr. Parch-er, Parch-er, and Bonnie Whicker plays the ever- teasing, mischievous small sister of Willie's. Carol Crafts plays the part of the lovely May Parcher with Marilyn Palmer doing the Miss Boke, unpopular fat girl, with Helen Christensen taking Mary Brooks. Birdie Lou Hilton is working with Mrs. Harriet Spendlove in the directing di-recting of the play, while Dale McDonald Mc-Donald is helping Elden Hurst in the preparing of the stage scenery there being two separate scenes for the play. Elma Kay Workman is making the posters, and the programs pro-grams will be made by Mrs. Rebecca Re-becca Schena.
