Monday evening, January 30th the Dramatic Club of O’Neill High School under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Godlidge, presented the three act comedy-farce OH, Kay! OH, Kay! a mysteltv play, well adapted to high school talent, was well given and much credit is due the cast and their director. The story of the play deals with “Gramp,” an old man whose family considered him to old to do anything, whose only pleasure is derived from association with “Lizzie” his Ford; “Gram,” his better half whose only solace in life is clipping coupons—for patent medicines; Arthur, Grumps grandson, whose family thinks he is too young to shoulder the responsi bility of protecting his mother while his father, a sea captain is away; Edith, Arthur’s sister, whose ambition is to write a detective story without flaws; Kay Millis, a girl detective, who lives only to catch the “Black Terror,” who shot her father. After his capture she lives for Arthur only. Of course the climax comes when Kay. Gramp, Arthur and Gram each capture a “Black Terror.” The one Kay captures turns out to be the real “Black Terror,” while the others are friends of the family masquerad ing. The character parts, and leading comedy roles were played by Marjor ie Carter, and Charles Hancock, Ar thur their grandson, Billie Griffin; Arthur’s mother Beryl Winchell; his father, the sea captain, Edmund Han cock; Edith, his sister, Gladys Wil iliams; Kay Millis of the Millis De tective Agency, Lois Brentson; the three friends of the family maskuer ading as the “Black Terror,” Phoebe Abdouch, Jess Kellogg, and Ambrost Rhode; and the real “Black Terror,” Ralph Oppen. The Dramatic Club is to be highly commended on their production and we hope to see others presented by them during the yaer.
