Crowd Sees High School Play Open

Santa Paula Chronicle
Friday, May 12, 1950

Here's a short one on the senior play of 1950. I had initially thought that it might be some sort of sequel to Arsenic and Old Lace (a great comedy with Cary Grant as Mortimer Brewster). It wasn't a sequel, but sounds like it went over well with the audience!

"That Brewster Boy" ran riot through the Santa Paula High School auditorium last night, planning and executing his mischievous antics along with pal Pee Wee. A large crowd turned out to view the opening night performance of the senior class play, which will be repeated tonight for the benefit of those who couldn't make it last night.

Curtin time is 8 o'clock.

Directed by Carl Jorgenson, the play is one big laugh all the way through, revolving as it does around the dizzy antics of this typical teenage youngster.

The centre of confusion is played by Bob Schlichter, and his pal Pee Wee is played by Vernon Edde, student body president this year.

Those who saw the play last night reported an enjoyable time, and tonight's crowd, which is expected to surpass last night's, is sure to get it's money's worth.

Tickets will be available at the box office.
