Winning first prize in the Pasadena Community Play¬
house one-act play tournament, the Bauble and Bells entrant,
“A Wedding,” was judged the best high school play out of
22 contestants, March 16, and--
was presented with $75.
John Muir Technical high placed
second, and John Marshall won the
prize presented to the junior high
school division.
“I wish your club much success
and hope you will enter next year
with as much spirit and fineness
of production,” stated Charles
Prickett, business manager of the
Playhouse, commenting on the per¬
formance.
Feeling that the drama in the
schools should have the same stim¬
ulus that athletics have, members
of the Playhouse are trying to pro¬
vide an opportunity ^ to raise the
standards of productions and to
gain for dramatics a popularity
equal to that of sports.
Mr. Prickett said, “The tourna¬
ment will be organized in a more
extensive way next year, and will
be conducted according to counties,
with many more schools partici¬
pating.”

reduced. Those who rush to
