ISSUE CALL TO
SENIOR ACTORS
Copies of. "If I Were King"
Ready for Upper-Class
Player.
Tryouts for "If I Were King,"
senior play, will be held Thursday
evening, March 25, in the Temple
theater under the supervision of Miss
Alice Howell, director. People will
be selected for each of the thirty
parts in the play and all who are In
terested in the success of the seniors'
final offering to the public are urged
to plan on trying out for some part.
The copies of the book, "If 1 Were
King" and typewritten cuttings for
various characters to use in the try
outs will be placed on the reserve
desk in the library Friday afternoon
or Saturday morning. These are not
of necessity to be followed and other
cuttings can be taken from the play
at random if the person desires.
Short speeches or series of speeches
are advised for use Thursday night.
Seniors, all seniors are free to try
out singly, in couples or groups.
A special effort is being made to
interest seniors outside of the dra
matic departments of the University,
both because it is desired to have the
cast fully representative of the class
and because it is always true that
much unknown talent exists outside
of the University players. With the
great number of parts there are many
opportunities for all who try out.
