SUE JONES, Editor Arthur Noble Will Be ‘The Man Who Came To Dinner’ Arthur Noble will be following such famous actors as Monty Wool- ley, Clifton Webb and Taylor Hol- mes in the role of acid-tongued Sheridan Whiteside when he plays “The Man Who Came to Dinner” in the production of George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s convuls- ‘ing. comedy success to be given here at the High School on Dec- ember 1 and 2 by the Senior Class. Originally written as an acting part for the author’s chum, the late Alexander Woollcott, whose ar- senic and old lace disvosition the play lampoons, the character of Sheridan Whiteside is full of the earbolic acid of human kindness. He ‘is in turn suave, charming, astringent, rude, and properly lack- ing in group consciousness. Among the celebrities who help the famous lecturer turn the home of a small-town Ohio family into a madhouse are characters clearly burlesquing, though not naming, Nole Coward, Harop Marx and a famous actress which libel laws prevent naming here. The Noel Coward character, ac- tually called in the play, Beverly Carlton or Desting’s Tot, will be played here by Dennis Jolly while the role of “‘Banjo” who might be a caricature of Harpo or a com- posite of all three of the zany Marxes, has been assigned to Rob- ert Delgado. As Lorraine, the predatory ac- tress, who is finally spirited off in a mummy case as part of the hi- Jinks in “The Man Who Came To Dinner,” will be seen Gale Varela. Other members of the Senior class who will play leading roles in this sparkling comedy include Joe Ann Atwell, as Maggie, White- sides spirited secretary; Jack Mc- Donough as Bert, Maggie’s report- er boyfriend whom she almost loses due to Whiteside’s medd- ling; and Joan Knowles as Miss Preen, Whiteside’s nurse, whom addresses contempuously as “Miss eBdpan.” Others in the cast will be Frank Hood, Gail Simpson, Mary Harris, Ray Perez, Milly Taylor, and Dean- ne Di Primo. Hailed by many critics as the funniest play the celebrated Kauf- man and Hart have written, “The bs bal Came To Dinner” is a ‘wo! ~ companion to such of. the“euthors ‘hits as you tant ‘Take. Tt With You,” “George Wash- fington Slept Here,” and “Once In . A Lifetime.” Canned green asparagus tastes especially good it, after it is heat- ed and drained, it is sprinkled with buttered crumbs. When you are mixing the melted butter and erumbs- together for the topping, add a dash of paprika for color.
