The play opens at Alpha Beta Pi fraternity at Haverhill College
By. EDMUND REISS
where Johnny Kent, inadequately
played by Joe Goldstein, is a
football hero. Goldstein was good
when he became loud or excited,
but aside from these few times,
he figited, made half-hearted ges
tures and had a puzzled cow-like
look that never seemed to change.
After his fiancee, Sophie, leaves
him, he goes to Paris with a band
headed by his best friend, Huck,
played by Al Beliasov who does
a very good job with this comic
part. Johnny inherits a dress
making firm from his aunt; Ma
dame Roberta, and goes into busi
ness with Stephanie, a princess
and Roberta's • dress designer. Af
ter much trouble with his old
fiancee and a luscious, seductive
dance r, Madame Scharwenka,
Johnny finally asks Stephanie to
marry him.
Nancy Thomas as Stephanie
played her part like a professional.
She kept the audience on her
side the whole time and suc
ceeded in getting mor e than
seemed po s sib 1e• out of her
straight part.
Suzanne Kiel, playing , the part
of Madame Scharwenka, carried
the whole show. Each time she
came on stage, an added lift ap
peared. The actors seemed to act
better, the singers sang better,
and the dancers danced better.
Everything pepped up, and there
was a sparkle • not present when
she was Off-stage.
Other fine pieces of acting were
turned in by Ann Wylie as Sophie,
Johnny's fiancee; Pat Marstellar
as her mother, the small town
snob: Richard Brugger, the stuf
fy but human Lord Henry; Doris
Cook as Madame Roberta; and
