The authors originally intended that their friend Woollcott play the part but, conscience - stricken lest the role be too insulting to their tuddy, Monty Wooley was asked to play Whiteside in New York, later repeating ‘his success in the movie version. To indicate his approval of the Tole, however, Woollcott later tour- ed in one company of the play, while Clifton Webb was engaged for another. The story of “The Man Who Came To Dinner” turns on a typi- cal Woollcottian adventure in which Sheridan Whiteside is marooned in the home of a small - town hostess as the result of a fractured hip.

Among the highlights of the first two sessions was a full and in- teresting historical and geographi- cal review by Miss Eunice Rey- nolds of the Key West High School faculty.
