...farce with too much cheap philosophy. Phoebe Foster as the harried heroine hardly fosters interest. She is pretty, but wears dresses that add nothing to her charm and years to her age.

Bernard Barton '24, who will play the part of Gregor, will be making his first appearance in a Dramatic Club play. He acted in the recent production of "Thank You" by John Golden...
