The story, which is now familiar to many theatre-goers is that of Sheridan Whiteside, (Fred Hope) a raconteur, writer, commentator and society-pet who is especially well-known for his Christmas broadcast. The play opens after he has broken his hip, following a dinner at the home of the Stanley's in a small town in Ohio. Mr. Whiteside Is not a man of amiable disposition nor has he the most gentle tongue in the world. His nurse, Miss Preen, played by Dorothy Stafford, is driven to near distraction. The doctor, however, who is played by Wesley Clark, is undisturbed even when the air is at its bluest. The Stanley daughter, June, (Phyllis Ballentine) falls in love with a boy, Sandy, (Roy Unkefer) who works in Mr. Stanley's (Dick Crum) factory. Her parents, of course, object. The young son, Richard (John Scalf) is persuaded by Whiteside that he should leave home and pursue his own career. In these situations Mrs. Stanley (Connie Wheeler) usually faints. Whiteside's secretary Maggie (Lois Berlin) falls for a newspaper man, Bert Jefferson (Robert Knowles). Lorraine Sheldon (Jackie Wood) a lovely stage actress is called in to break this up. Beverly Carlton, (Joe Alexander) who is a famous British composer hits the house like a whirlwind, Harriet (Helen Clark) who is Mr. Stanley's sister, drifts about the house in a cloud of de mentia, while John (John Ches- ire) and Sarah (Marilou Horton), the two servants remain stalwart and enjoy the entire visit. Other roles are Mrs. Dexter (Sue Wilson), Mrs. McCutcheon (Zenia Da\is), Prof Metz (Ret Turner), Westcott (Dave Creek- (Continued on Page Two) Accounting Fraternity Holds Banquet At DeLeon Springs Monday evening Sigma Alpha Chi, honoiary accounting fraternity held a banquet at the DeSoto House in DeLeon Springs.
