‘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.
