'Kiss And Tell'
Giiignol's 3rd

Production
Farce Presentation
To Open April 30,

Briggs Announces
"Kiss and Tell." a Broadway comedy hit by F. Hugh Herbert, will
open April 30 for a week's run at
the Little Theater on Euclid avenue. The play, the third Guignol
season,
production of the 1944-4- 5
opened on Broadway in 1942 and is
still running. Wallace N. Briggs is
the director of the production.
The leading roles will be played by
Joan Rehm as Corliss Archer, and
John Renfro as Dexter Franklin.
The supporting cast includes such
Guignol actors as Ell
Popa, Edmund Mills, and Conrad
Dickerson.
"Kiss and Tell" concerns two
neighboring families, the Pringles
and the Archers, whose friendship
1s threatened by a feud. The dispute centers around the excessive
pride of the two mothers for their
daughters, Mildred Pringle and
Corliss Archer, who are 18 and 16
respectively.
Mrs. Archer forbids
her daughter to associate with the
Pringle girl, following an episode
in which the two sold kisses at a
USO party.
Corliss' brother, Lieut. Lenny
Archer returns home and secretly
marries Mildred, the wedding being
kept a secret because of the argument between the two families. Mildred takes Corliss into her confidence, and then begins the hilarious events which eventually lead
to the reconciliation of the two families. Corliss' boy friend. Dexter, becomes involved in the plot and aids
only in making the situation more
confusing and humorous.
The cast is as follows: Mr.
