CLOSES SATURDAY NIGH
'The Bishop Misbehaves
Rated 'Extremely
Amusing.'
By Rob Laurens.
Opening .Monday night wit
t h o comedy - mystery, "Th
Bishop .Misbehaves," Univcr
sity Players started uliat pron
ises to lie a very int crest inj?
season. Although not a full house
the audience response was satis
factory, two curtain calls being
demanded. The showing will con
tinue thru Saturday night.
The play itself, written by Fred
crick Jackson, was very skilfully
handled almost too much so in
the final act. Although extremely
amusing, it puts a strain on cred
ulity. Rather heavy and slow
starting, action up with the en
trance of the Bishop into a tap
room, attaining a definite swing at
the first curtain. Narration and
expository material is somewhat
forced and clumsy in both the
first and third acts. Heights of cx
cellent comedy and splendid ef
fc6ts are achieved, but they fail to
make up for the recurrent low
points. Second curtain is a little
weak and third too prolonged.
Honors to Yenne.
Special honors for acting go to
Herbert Yenne as the Bishop of
Broadminster, for establishing a
character and holding it most con
sistently. However, his portrayal
carried too much interpretation, he
savoured it too deeply, giving it
too much importance in relation to
the rest of the play. At times he
was guilty of slowing up the en
tire action in his handling of
effect.
Margaret Carpenter as Lady
Emily gave a good interpretation
while in the action but relaxed
from character at times when the
action moved away from her. Don
Buell as Mr. Brooks established an
interesting character, and handled
well a difficult role, only dropping
from character once or twice in
the latter part of the third act
Dwight Perkins as Donald Mead
ows was forced and hurried but hit
moments of ease that give prom-

draw the plans.
In the Chemistry department,
students are doing clerical work,
setting up lecture demonstration
apparatus, and standardizing
chemical solutions.
Research work also makes up
the duties of those employed in
the dairy department. A study of
factors affecting the curd char
acter of milk is being made. Other
studies being carried on are meth

butter, and the canning, roughing,
