“Charm School” Presents Some Humorous Scenes
March 3, 1939
“Charm School,” the Junior class play, to be held on March 10, has some very numerous characters. There is Jim Simpkins, played by Jack Hayes and Tim Simpkins, by Junior Cady, who are twins. Then there is George Boyd, enacted by Arthur Mathews, and David MacKenzie, by Kim Hill.
The first act takes place in an old-fashioned New York house. The boys seem to be having a time about the washing! Listen.
George: “for the love of Mike, Tim, don’t take your shoes off in the parlor. I never saw anything like you fellows, you keep this room looking like a pig pen, law books all over the table. Say, whose week is it to put away the wash?
Jim: “Yous, my bright-eyed buckoo.”
George: “All right. Where’s the list? Dave you’ve been getting a new undershirt.”
David (proudly): “Two.”
Jim: “spendthrift.”
George: (Holding up ragged socks): “for Heaven’s sake, Jim, do you waste our money having socks like this washed?”
Jim: “What’s the matter with these socks? The holes are all below shoe level – expect one, and I paint my heel under that – My best dancing socks.”
Now isn’t that just like a man? See what happens to these boys when they arrive at the girls’ school.
