Rehearsals Underway for Helena High Senior Play
Rehearsals for the senior class comedy drama The Whole Towns Talking by John Emerson and Anita Lees proceed at Helena High School. The show, produced by the dramatic department, opens next Friday at Shrine Auditorium at 8 15 p m. The plot centers on the Simons family and their choices for Ethel’s marriage as Mr Simons clashes with Chester Binney and a Chicago suitor Mrs Simons favors. The play builds humor around love and social expectations and ends happily with Binney’s growth and a playful subplot about India’s wild boar.
