MAINPHONE 3-5345 1 Block East of Hawthomt Park Riotous Comedy To Be Produced By Senior Class A riotous comedy that was made into one of the most suc cessful and original motion pic tures ever produced has been chosen as the presentation of the 1955 senior class of Medford High school. This is "Heaven Can Wait," the play written by Harry Segall which became the movie "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," sched uled for presentation here in its original, full-length form at the High chool auditorium for two performances, March 28-29. "Heaven Can Wait" is the story of a messenger who made a mistake, and delivered the wrong person too soon. In this case the messenger is on the staff of "Mr. Jordan," a sort of "superintendent of operations" in heaven.. His error was in snatching the wrong person from earthly life and delivering him to the pearly gates before his time was up. The victim is a self confident prize-fighter named Joe Pendleton, who is outraged that his activities in life were unfairly cut short, and insists to the celestial guardians that he be given a rain-check with which to go back to earth and accom plish his mission of becoming a champion. "Mr. Jordan," embarassed at the mistake that has landed Joe in this fix, would like to adjust the unfortunate error, and try to return Joe to his original earthly body. But then he discovers that his body had been cremated. The suspense of this heart-warming fable grows out of the search of the heavenly authorities for an other suitable body, and the hil arious complications and adven tures that ensue as the pugilist is indeed returned to earth in the body of a most unlikely person.
