Arthur Noble Will
Be 6 The Man Who
Came To Dinner 9
Arthur Noble will be following
iuch 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 disoosition the
play lampoons, the character of
Sheridan Whiteside is full of the
carbolic 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,
Kole 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 Destiny’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 Mam 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
aides 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
he addresses contempuously as
“Miss eßdpan.”
Others in the cast will be Frank
Rood, 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
Man Who Came To Dinner” is a
worthy companion to such others
the-authors hits as “You CjfoV
Take It With You,” “George Wash
ington Slept Here,” and “Once In
A Lifetime.”

buttered crumbs. When you are
mixing the melted butter and
crumbs together for the topping,
add a dash of paprika for color.
