Cast Complete
For Thalian's
New Production
If in a deal you made about
"twenty nice round thousands”
woud you buy a new car or a new
house if you could find either? Or
would you redecorate your present
home and see that there was a new
coat of paint to cover the old clap
boards? And what of the new busi
ness suit you needed so badly?
Then there was that new set oi
golf clubs you wanted. Hemember
the good investment in sound
bonds, or perhaps the conserva
tive rider in the market you had
considered?
That would be where he would
differ. Johnny Case had other plans
—a less conservative dream—no
more stocli deals, no more big
business, in fact, no more law—
at least, not for the present. Case,
born in 1914 on July 6, was not a
radical, but it could be said oi
him that when he had an idea,
even if it was not strictly conven
tional, and he believed in it, he
could not be easily turned from it.
And Johnny had an idea—"To
Live” not just move stolidly
through this existence, was his de
sire. Then Case met Julia, wealthy
daughter of Edward Seton, finan
cier and cotillion leader, so began
the tale told by Philip Barry in his
sphikling dialogue for "Holiday”,
current Thalian production now ir
rehearsal.
ten Jones, jr., is as real a
Johnny Case as one could hope t<
find. His understanding of Johnny’s
lust for living is already amplj
shown In first rehearsals. Case’s
lovely butsocially minded fiance
Julia, is played by Miss Shirlej
Beasley, who is remembered foi
her polished performance as the in
genue in last season’s show “Ar
senic and Old Lace.”
The younger Seton sister, Linda
who understands Johnny’s love o
life, has a charming medium, Mis;
Frances Thompsjn.
Remember Pvt. Charles Kean
who played Papa in “Papa Is All’
last season? Pvt. Kean is back t(
do the jaunty and convincing roll
of Nick Potter, friend of Linda am
Case.
Mrs. Margaret Heilig, seasonec
Thalian actress, plays oppositi
Kean as Susan Potter. Edward Se
ton so aptly described for the Tha
lians E. E. Erb.
Dick Cassidy’s interpretation o:
the frustrated Seton son, Ned, in
dined to accept matters as thej
are is worth an admission price
Cousin Seton and Laura Cram
officious cousins of the Setons, art
done by Pvt. Bill Jack and Mrs
Norma Green. Lester Preston,
Guerard Simkins and Miss Sallj
Herring complete the cast as the
Seton household servants.
The production is schduled foi
late November showing in Thaliar
Hall.

Mother’s Friend
helps bring ease
and comfort tv
expectant
mothers.
MOTHER’S
FRIEND, an
exquisitely pre
pared emollient, is
useful in all condi
tions where a bland, mild anodyne mas1
sage medium in skin lubrication is de-;
sired. One condition in which women
for more than 70 years have used it is an
application for massaging the body dur
ing pregnancy ... it helps keep the skir
soft and pliable... thus avoiding un
necessary discomfort due to dryness and
tightness. It refreshes and tones the
skin. An ideal massage application for
the numb, tingling or burning sensa
tions of the skin ... for the tired back
muscles or cramp-like pains in the legs.
Quickly absorbed. Delightful to use.
Mother's Friend
Highly praised by users, many doctors and
nurses. Just ask any druggist for Mother’s
friend—the skin lubricant. Tr" it tnri*»b't
