Leaving behind the stumb
ling world of reality, where we
are awakened each morning
by news of fresh out-breaks of
violence against humanity, we
stepped through the stage door
into a world where the most
breath-taking suspense hung
I upon the view to be had
through a pair of binoculars.
The entire ambition of Miss
Hildegarde (Margaret Camp
bell), Miss Lucy (Betty
Knight), Miss Amantha (Sally
King), Miss Birdie (Margie
Cline), Miss Elizabeth (Sarah
Clyde Patterson, and Miss Net
tie (Louly Fowler) consisted
of the romantic situation of
rivalry among the group, for
the possession of a pair of bi
noculars, through which could
be seen the object of their com
bined desire: one Dennis
O’Finn, (William Stubbs) hom
icide detective, six-foot two of
male muscle and brawn, com
pletely furnished with master
ful personality and powerful
voice (excellent brogue).
The wheels of fate turned
swiftly, once the master plan
was launched: in order to lure
Mr. O’Finn (William Stubbs)
into their parlor (a veritable
fairyland of Victorian memor
abilia), it was necessary to
produce a corpus delicti, which
of course meant that one of this
rare collection of cloud-walk- :
ers must be sacrificed to the
cause, since homicide was his (
business.
Detective O’Finn (Stubbs) .
cooperated beautifully with i
the ladies’ designs upon his (
company, accepting their tea ।
and biscuits with admirable ।
politeness, even after it was ]
definitely proved that arsenic
had dispatched the first martyr j
to the cause. He even scorned ;
THE COVINGTON NEWS
the sensible analysis of the sit
uation by his good partner
Kramer (Joe Guillebeau).
Into this twittering atmos
phere of fluttery females came
the real villian of the piece,
Miss Jane Rogers, news repor
ter( Marianne Murphy), who,
with her goddess-like figure
and electric passion destroyed
in the twinkling of an eye the
fragile foot hold upon O’Finn’s
affections so scarificially esta
blished by “The Ladies.”
Miss Hildegarde (Margaret
Campbell) had the last word,
however, in sealing the villain’s
doom with a gift of candy,
which O’Finn “mustn’t touch!”
The Laboratory Technician
(Hutch Jordan) Brought a
fresh breeze of gaiety with his
attitude of happy relish for his
job: taking finger prints, he
reassured the timid females:
“Don’t flip, Chick, this won’t
hurt a bit!”
The stretcher bearers (Wil
lie Campbell and Homer Sharp)
who removed the “corpus de
licti” made the most of their
short appearances, drawing
laughs with every word.
Director Eddie Najjar han
dled the use of the stage, script
and actors with his usual great
skill. The crash of O’Finn’s
tea-cup set off a state-wide
explosion of human movement,
expressing in action the super
charged emotion O’Finn ex
pressed with words.
The scenes were skillfully
inter-twined moods of quiet,
almost desperate boredom built
iup into crescendos violent ex
citement and action interwoven
with the bright threads of ag
ing female desire for some
thing more from life than a cup
of tea.
You’d better keep your eye
on “Jane Rogers” (Marianne
Murphy)—l’m not sure that
candy was lethal, and—well,
she’s prettier than Brigitte Bar
dot, and far more intelligent,
and . . . well . . . unscrupulous.
Cast. Crew and Director won
deserved applause and much
genuine merriment for a job
well done. Give us another
play soon!

Has Pan°l Study
Youna Marriages

November meeting, had a pan
el discussion on the causes of
the increase in youth marriages,

big factor in leading into youth

kind of boys they are dating
now will be the types they will
marry.
In November the Covington
FHA’ers in chapel had a skit
which led into a fashion show.
The girls modeled clothes which
they had made themselves.
Bede Campbell, the FHA pre
sident, acted as narrator and
Ann Adams and Suzanne
Adams were the characters in
the skit. It was well received
by the Student Body of New
