Minneapolis, Minn., commenced it 8 o'clock and contained a cast of fourteen students. The action of the play took place in the living room of Caroline Caru thers tourist home, on Honeymoon Trail, within a period of 24 hours. The setting of the play was in the late fall. Mrs. Caroline Caruthers (Jacqueline Wetenkamp), who was the owner of the tourist home, had in her employ a colored maid, Niobe (Miss Verona Toman). On the verge of financial collapse, Mrs. Caruthers was almost forced to grant the maid a leave of absence because of lack of business, when, through sheer super stition on the maid's part, she retain ed her and from then on the story kept the spectators in complete sus pense. The play's leading parts were play ed by Miss Shirley Walling, who was familiarly known in the story as Miss Connie Morgan, daughter of an eastern banker, and Carl Tie kotter, Connie's pet aversion, who served the part of Courtney Barret, Jr. well. Miss Morgan, with a com panion, Eess Williams (Rosalyn Mark), left their home town because of an unwanted suitor of Miss Mor gan's thus creating the impression that she would break up the couple's romance which her father desired ) see. Strange as it may seem, the very individual whom she was at tempting to run away from, roomed in the Caruthers' tourist home only under a disguised name. While there the two became very intimate and their identity to each other remain ed a .secret for some time. Christ opher Morgan (Ralph Parkening), an eastern banker, was Connie's father, and he, likewise, spent some time in the Caruthers' home before his daughter knew it. He left his eastern home in attempt to find his laughter and as a result, was given the sad blow that his bank had been robbed of a large sum by two crooks, Steve (Albin Chovanec) and Andy (Edwin Hiber). They also happened to drop in and rent a room, keeping the colored maid in a miserable con dition of fright and in their disguise ment proved themselves to be very alert and skillful. Mrs. Julia Gibbs, an ambitious mother of three daughters and well versed in her gift of speech, was Miss Bernice Halmes and she was a woman who possessed high ideals and placed considerable confidence and faith in seeing her three daughters, Lottie Gibbs (Bette Read), Wanda Gibbs (Shirley Leonard), and Daisy Gibbs (Renee Brown) become Hollywood's No. 1 movie stars. This part of "Hold Everything" proved to be ! amusing. En route to Hollywood, the mother and her daughters were inno jcent victims of trickery when the (gangsters led them into trading cars to climax their trip to Hollywood, 'leading them to believe that they (were also going to California. The mother was too heartily willing to accept the offer since the Gibb's car was only a coupe and the gangsters possessed a two-door Hudson. The libbs family, however, left for their destination without ever knowing who the two gentlemen with whom they were working were, and the two bandits were caught and surren dered to police by Tim Macauley (Robert Cook), the cast's star detec tive. ' Marvin Petereit served as the Caruthers' milkman and acted his 3hort part excellently. Following the capture of the ban dits the Morgans and Miss Williams left for their eastern home, they be ing accompanied by Miss Morgan's fiancee, Mr. Courtney Barrett. The Gibbs family were supposedly in California, the two bandits in jail, LAND, FARM and RANCH BARGAINS FOR SAXE Six room house, 1102 Pearl street. Address II. R.
