PLOT OF "OBJECT MATRIMONY"
Red Domino's Play a Product of University Authors—Editors to Attend Tuesday Evening
The Red Domino's play, "Object,
Matrimony" is ready for production
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. A
number of seats have been set aside
for the editors who will attend Tuesday
evening. The dress rehearsal will be held tonight.
Jessica and Lelia Farmsworth are staying with their parents at a popular summer resort. Mr. Farmsworth had made an agreement with a Mr. Wayne a long time ago, that their daughter and son should marry when they became of age. Mr. Wayne has died some time before the opening of the play and in his will be stated that his son Jack, should be disinherited unless he married Lelia Farmsworth.
THE MYSTERIOUS SUIT CASE
Jack has never met Lelia, so he takes his friend, Jim Wiggins, to the hotel with him, and they agree to change names. Jim Wiggins as Wayne, meets Lelia, and of course she hates him, but falls in love with the real Wayne, who is queerading as Wiggins. Wiggins, however, falls in love with Jessica who has just been dying to meet a new man since she has had only eleven proposals in ten days.
MASSON AND STONE WILL TALK IN GYM
A short synopsis of the play follows:
THE MYSTERIOUS SUIT CASE
The mysterious suit case now comes upon the scene. Wayne has told Lelia that he has some things in his suit case which he wants to show her. When he opens the case before Lelia and her parents, however, he finds a bottle of whiskey, cigars, wigs, grease picture, pictures, and a pair of ladies silk stockings. It seems that Jack's suit case had been changed with a "ham" actor, who had one exactly like it. This incident causes a break between the two lovers, and gives Buttons, the hop who is an amateur detective, an opportunity to get in some good work.
THE DIFFICULTY HAS PASSED
The second act deals with the explanations and the clearing up of all difficulties. Lielia and Jack become engaged as do Jessica and Jim, but their troubles are not all over, for they have to explain why they changed their names.
There are a large number of good songs written by Arvid Frank which aid to the show, and one of them is "I'll be sure it's" said to be a very catchy song.
Want to Sell Tickets?
The entire play was written by Earl Moore, a sophomore in the College.
Students are desired to assist in selling tickets for the music Festival next week. A cash commission of 10% is allowed on all sales. Apply to Dean Skilton.
