"The Love Expert,," a three-act comedy, written by John Kirk pa trick, was a "benefit performance for the athletic association and members ,%f the cast were; chosen for their adaptability to their parts from the four classes of the high school. The com edy was well played by members of the cast who received their training under Miss Helen Stevens, head of the dramatic department of the high school. ."The Love Expert" was full of bright dialogues and amusing situs tiohs which called forth many a laugh from the audience and its presentation was a reali achievement for the director, members of th«J cast and all who assisted. From the beginning, through the bewildering maze of events,, both pathetic andajomic, to the romantic ending when everything comes out the way you want it, the play and the players held the keen interest of the audience without a moment's let down. The story of the comedy was built around the work of a column writer for the "Times Gazette." Miss Alice attempted to give Mary Jackson advice about her love problems and is given able, but confusing assistance by Tom Jones, a sport writer and super-love expert. The heroine won the amused sympathy of the audience as she went through the evening with varying numbers of bridegrooms * while her hen-pecked father and over-worked mother were very realistic in their attempt to have their children happy.
