OH, KAY.
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.
