'SUSOUEHANNA BULLETIN Ten Cents Steve Ze:phey, Jim Byrd and Joe Meszaros ‘Arsenic & Old Lace’ at D.H.S., Nov. 21,22 by Miss Catherine Zeller ‘Arsenic and Old Lace,” the well-known three-act comedy by Joseph Kessel- ring, will be presented by the senior class of Donegal High School, Friday and Saturday, November 21 and 22, at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Set in the early 1940’s, the play relates the story of the eccentric Brewster fam- ily, through whom runs a strain of insanity. The two sisters, Abby and Martha (Jane Youtz and Jean Bixler, respectively), em- bark upon one of their charitable ventures by help- ing lovely old men to eternal peace — their method: a glass of elderberry wine containing arsenic. Their nephew Teddy (Michael Kohler), who imagines he is Teddy Roosevelt storming San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War, thinks his aunt’s gentlemen are yellow fever victims. He aids the Brewster sisters by burying the victims in locks of the Panama Canal, which he digs in the cellar. Everything seems peace- ful in the Brewster house- hold until the long-absent nephew, Jonathan (James Byrd), returns to his old home with his accomplice, Dr. Ernstein (Steven Has- singer). Wanted for various murders committed all over the world, they are seeking refuge from the police. The aunts have endeared themselves to the local police, (Jeffrey Boulton, Steven Zerphey, and Joseph Meszaros). Only one of the policemen, Lieutenant Roo- ney (Thomas McCoy), is perspicacious enough to discern the identity of Jonathan as one of the most-wanted criminals. Jonathan looks like Boris Karloff. A third nephew, Morti- mer Brewster (Ted Hershey) is a drama critic. Afraid that he is tainted by the Brewster insanity, he is reluctant to marry Elaine Harper (Karen Thompson), the daughter of the Reverend Mr. Harper (Kevin Milligan). In the end Mortimer receives a plea- sant surprise. Two minor roles are played by Jay Long and Bruce Neyer. A threatre classic, this play is well written and extremely funny. The characterizations are the high point of the piece. Miss Catherine Zeller is directing the production. Tickets may be obtained from any senior, at Sloan’s Pharmacy in Mount Joy, at Houseal’s store in Maytown and at Appley’s in Marietta. They will also be sold at the door on the nights of the performances.
