It was found that the plan of having reserved scats was a popular one.· when the Threshold Players gave "Smilin' Through" la st · December. .\ccording to those who have attt·mled rl'hearsals, the cast selected ior "The Patsy" is a capable one, and w.ork is progressing very satisfactor-: ily under the direction of \\' .

The part of the older sister, Grace, whom the mother favors. is to be taken bv ).[iss Marjorie :M iller. who gave sucf1 a charming touch to the part of the young "bride" in "The Bride," given in February by the Players. Grace is inclined to be selfish, cold and petulant, excepting when she has a purpose in being pleasant. Her two suitors. Billy Caldwell and Tony Anderson. will be played by Carl L. Lochner and ::\foncure D. Paynter, respectively. ::\fr. Lochner recently was seen in "The Bride," and has not only appeared in many of the Threshold Player~ productions but in those of other dramatic groups of the north shore.

There is hardly a five-minute period in the play th_i!~oes not produce a laugh, for altho h the situations are of the utmost gra ity to those in the play, the audience nels them extremely humorous.
