Play to Be Given at Mt. Pleasant.

The Senior Class of Mont Amoena Seminary, at Mount Pleasant, will give a play Friday evening, February 15 1918, at 7:30 o’clock, entitled “Breezy Point.” The play is a comedy in three acts. The characters are:

Aunt Debby Dexter, mistress of “Breezy Point.”—Ione Koontz.

Elinor Pearle, of unknown parentage—Mabel Stamper.

Ashrael Grant, a workhouse waif—Carrie Raney.

Mrs. Hardscratch, with business propensities—Pauline Peninger.

Miss Canthear, her deaf sister—Emma Julia Derrick.

The Hardscratch Twins, who “never tell nothin’”—Lorna Smith and Mae Earnhardt.

Mehitible Doolittle, manufacturer of catarrh snuff and bitters—Winifred Bodie.

Aunt Debby’s summer boarders, fresh from Madame Finikins: Bernice Vernon, Margie Barringer; Laura Leigh, Stella Hahn; Clarice Fenleigh, Ida Mae Wydenhouse; Edith Norton, Luna Cable; Betty Brown, Ruth Shearouse.

Fantine—Bernice Vernon’s French maid.

Clem—An old gypsy woman.

The comedy is unusually lively, full of fun and humor. Though the plot is somewhat serious, there is a strain of humor throughout the whole that makes you hold your sides in laughter. Be sure to come and see “Breezy Point.”

Miss Anna Schenck is coaching the play, so everyone, far and wide, knows that it will be a grand success. The admission is 15 and 20 cents. X
