The 1920's and Earlier

In 1914-1915, the High School Dramatic Club was formed at Columbus High School by the then current juniors and seniors.  The sponsor was Miss Carrie Ong.    Participation in the club was high.  27 members of the class of 1916 counted themselves as members of this club, nearly 30% of the graduating class.    In the fall semester, there would be one acts produced for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  A "three-act" play would be produced in February and the senior class play would take place in April or May.  In addition, the students would regularly perform other plays for each other at their bi-weekly meetings and for community groups and other high schools on a fairly regular basis.   We are aware that as early as the turn of the twentieth century, Columbus High School was performing class plays on the stage at the Crump Opera House.  Little other knowledge exists about these early times.   If you have any knowledge of this era, or know of anyone who has, we would be happy to talk to you/them.  Please contact us.   1929--1930      Creepy Crest, Little Brother Sherlock, Our Aunt from California, Betty      Engaged, Polly's Hero, Achievement,  Music Then and Now 1928-1929      Ichabod Crane, One Gift Above Another, Do You Believe in Luck?, The      Bohemian Girl, Tweedles, Watch Your Step Wilton 1927-1928      Mysterious Thanksgiving Guest, Grandma's Christmas Guest, Sojourners,      Cyclone Sally, The Meal Ticket 1926-1927      Mrs. Newlywed's Thanksgiving Dinner, When the Christ Child Comes In,      Honor Bright, I'd Be Happy If, The Bohemian Girl, Sauce for the Goslings,      Circus Solly, Ebony Echoes 1925-1926      Maid of France, The Trial of John and Jane, Art Where Art Thou, Times      Have Changed, Patty Makes Things Hum, Empty Stockings 1924-1925      Once Upon a Time, Miss Maria, Daddy Long Legs, Under the Stars and      Stripes 1923-1924      Just for Fun, Tangles, Nothing But the Truth, You Never Can Tell, Dark      Town Jubilee, Pipes of Pan 1922-1923      National Flower, Hurry!  Hurry!  Hurry!, 1921-1922      Twilight Alley 1916-1917      Romantic Rogue, Christmas Chimes, If I Only Had a Million, Green      Stockings 1915-1916      The Mysterious Thanksgiving Guest, The Trials of Christmas Shopping,      What Happened to Jones 1914-1915      Christmas in the Air, Elopement of Ellen   Visit other North Drama Eras   The 2000's          The 1990's          The 1980's         The 1970's         The 1960's   The 1950's          The 1940's           The 1930's          The 1920's and Earlier
