ANNOUNCE CAST FOR HASTY PUDDING SHOW

Carrillo Charming Spanish Senorita--Silvers Like Musical, Dramatic, and Athletic Talent

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The cast of the Hasty Pudding show, "Laugh It Off", was announced yesterday by Coach Silvers. He considers it talented dramatically, as well as musically and athletically.

The plot is as negligible as is usual is such productions, but the score and the characters are well conceived and excellently rendered.

Brown Has Glee Club Experience

M. L. Brown '25, who plays the part of the hero, Derrick Breen, is admirably fitted by his experience as a soloist of the Glee Club, to sing in the duets which fall to his part. Myrtle a diminutive stenographer, is played by W. S. Wilson '27. The somewhat ungrammatical mother, Mrs. Grady, will be taken by C. T. B. Lyon '27.

George Darling, a young and studious butterfly collector, is to be played by J. C. MacDonald '26, who was the leader of the Freshman Glee Club two years ago and who since then has sung with several of the college musical clubs. Abercrombie, his man servant, is played by J. H. Wright '25, the most talented musician in the cast. He is a member of both the banjo and mandolin clubs and an able performer on the saxophone.

Burke is Low Comedian

The low comedy of the play will be supplied by R. F. Burke '25, as Hezakiah Fitch, the vigilant constable of Beverly Farms, where the scene of the play is laid.

The dashing young debutantes found in every Hasty Pudding show are played by A. G. Carrillo 3E.S. and C. S. Gross '27. Carrillo, who plays Suzanne Waring, is one of the coxswains of the University crews and in mantilla and Spanish headdress becomes a diminutive but forceful senorita. Gross plays the part of the heroine, Alice Breen, a blonde beauty.

Father Breen is the remaining principal character. This somewhat dubious old man, the father of Derrick and Alice, is personified by E. S. Daniell Jr. '26.

The chorus is as follows:

Girls--R. S. Scott '27, Nathaniel Hamlen '27, N. S. Hesse '27, F. V. Crane '25, Austin Wood '26, S. F. Collier '26.

Men--W. R. Wister '27, P. R. Pease '26, G. E. Smith Jr. '26, R. A. Jordan Jr. '26, A. J. Cassatt '27, F. McC. Eaton '27.

The band will include P. K. Brown '27, saxophone; A. M. Carrillo 2E.S., saxophone; G. B. Moynahan '26, saxophone; W. L. Tibbetts Jr. '26, piano; Lindsley Austin '26, drum; J. G. Wright '27, banjo.

J. A. Halsted '27, in charge of the ticket sale, announces that all applications for seats received before April 2 will be given first consideration. A small number of tickets for the performance of Friday, April 17, remain unsold. The Saturday performance, the afternoon of April 18, is expected to have the largest undergraduate attendance, for a tea dance will follow the show.
