This play was di eted by the president of the or mization, Buddy Long, a senior om Cocoa, Fla. Those taking part were Miller ide, Lucy Rasheed, Gene Shaw, ck Acree, Pat Davis, and Sally are. Miller Lide was fairly con ncing as the hen-pecked husband ho overthrew the rule of his pom )us and social-climbing wife, ucy Rasheed. Miss Rasheed's erformance was good except that e lacked, in a few spots, the ruff, domineering countenance of society woman. There were times i the lines of Gene Shaw, Pat avis, and Jack Acree, "the fix rs," that the audience felt as if iey were actually in the office of big-time physician. Sally Hare elped hold the plot together as te daughter of a big manufacturer 'ying to persuade her fiance, ene Shaw, to come in as a partner f her father. The play ended happily, as do Lost plays, with the "Fixers" be ig taken in as partners of the en-pecked husband t h e y be ?iended and the characters being sired off as the author deemed iitable. On the whole, Buddy did a fine >b of directing the play consider ig all the difficulties of puiLing ni a production of this sort.
