Playing Francis Drake's role was U.S. Admiral Raymond A. Spruance. For three weeks his Fifth Fleet had roamed Japanese waters on battle cruise, spreading destruction, taunting the shattered Japanese Fleet to come out and fight...
Other Brödel pupils represented in the show are Hopkins' Ranice W. Birch and Annette Burgess, Mayo Clinic's Russell Drake, Yale's Armin Hemberger. Their pictures clearly demonstrate that a good medical artist takes pleasure in beauty as well as scientific exactness.

Alfred Drake portrays Barnaby Goodchild, a legendary rake who keeps American singing for 300 years, and not entirely free from interference. Before the play is over, Puritan ministers, Civil War top sergeants, Gay Nineties park policemen, and navy lieutenant commanders are doing their best to stop Barnaby from spreading musical mirth as he romps through America's history...
