Show BAC Presentation oi "Dear Ruth" Amuses Audience The D. H. S. auditorium was packed with a large crowd Monday Mon-day night, highly amused with the comedy drama, "Dear Ruth", presented pre-sented that night by a cast from the B. A. C. at Cedar City. Twain Tippetts, director of the play, made a speech before the opening curtain, cur-tain, to say that the play was the first of their Golden Jubiliee Year, at B. A. C, and that they were happy to appear here. The applause ap-plause at the end of the show, and the opinions expressed throughout the audience for more of the same type of entertainment, should prevail pre-vail upon the B. A. C. to visit us again with other shows. The story was a Broadway success, suc-cess, written by Norman Krasna, and was packed with amusing lines and situations, handled with ease , and distinction by the cast, headed head-ed by Donna Jean Southwick and David Urie. The parents in the play, Judge and Mrs. Wilkins, played play-ed by Win. H. Manning and Verna Dee Bell, proved very popular. Mr. Manning is well-known and remembered re-membered here by a number of former students at the B. A. C, and his role of the much-tried father brought down the house. Miss Flora May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan May, of Sutherland, ac-compandied ac-compandied the cast as script manager man-ager with the production staff. Eighty-five per cent of the net proceeds from the production that also included the matinee for students stu-dents were turned over to the D. H. S., to get their fund to buy a new curtain and cyclorama for the auditorium. Good support of good productions will guarantee to fill i the fund, so that the new equipment equip-ment may be installed for enter- ' tainments during the Centennial in 1947. Arlo R.
