Studio Theater
offers acting
opportunities
Studio Theater, the speech de
partment's pet activity, has been
popular as the "work shop" for
a number of years.
Every two weeks, on Wednes
day night, except when perform
ances of University Players in
terfere, its members entertain
other students in the department
with one or two plays.
The theater affords students an
opportunity to gain acting exper
ience before a critical audience.
Until recently, the plays were di
rected by some member of the
faculty, but this year they are di
rected by the students themselves,
who, alone, have the responsibility
of making successes of the plays
and to provide the "first nighter"
audiences that attend good enter
tainment and a chance to see their
fellow would-be actors at work.
Everything is left to the actors
and their student director, even
to the finding of properties, so
that they learn what really makes
the wheels of the theater go
'round. More than this, the thea
ter is also looked 'upon as a step
ping stone to University Players,
serving as an experiment station
for trying out future players.
The plays given are usually one-
acts, written by prominent play
wrights. Several students who do
not take pait in the plays give
readings, pantomines or some
other act between the plays, and
one student assumes the role of
master of ceremonies at each per
formance. Photos-

Explosion injures
Chcm students
Frank Roth, business adminis
tration junior, and a laboratory
assistant whose name could not
be learned were injured Wednes
day afternoon in a blowup in
chemistry I laboratory.
Roth received cuts on the face
and head while the assistant was
cut on the leg and jaw. The ex
plosion was powerful enough to
rip Roth's apron open and injure
the assistant who was standing
seven or eight feet away at the
time of the explosion.
According to witnesses, Roth
had mixed red phosphorus with
potassium chlorate, causing an in
stantaneous explosion. Roth said
that he mistook the phosphorus
for another chemical. When the
two were combined in a test tube,
the phosphorus exploded in the
oxygen generated by the potas
sium chlorate.
Both Roth and the assistant
were treated at the Student Health
Service.

Has voice variations.
The wide range of variations in
his voice put him constantly in
demand by movie producers who
are in need of voice effects. This
is why Disney chose him to try out
for a part in "Pinocchio." He orig
inally was tested for the title role,
but Disney didn't think that it was
suited to the character. So this
idea was dropped.
"Some time later," Edwards
said, "Disney called me over to
the studio and suggested that I
make some tests for the voice of
the cricket in the picture. So I
shook hands with him and started
to leave, but he persuaded me to
make the auditions.
Own voice best.
"Well, I imitated all the animals
I knew and some I didn't, but
nothing happened. Finally, I forgot
and spoke in my own voice, and
Disney shouted, 'That's it, that's
what I want,' and sure enough I
sounded just like a cricket. So, I
started to work for Walt in June,
1938, and stayed with him until
last December when the picture
was done."
Your reporter talked to "Uku
lele Ike" about a. year and a half
ago when he and his own troupe
were appearing at the Orpheum
theater in Omaha, and today he
is the same little round-faced,
smiling fellow he was then. Only
now, he seems to have acquired
some of the personality of Jiminy.
In fact, he now signs his auto
graph, "Cliff Edwards by Jim
iny!" Cliff said, "Although I was hired
just to do the voice, I suspect that
the animators watched me quite a
bit, because I recognize lots of
my mannerisms and expressions in
Jiminy."
When we asked if Cliff had a
conscience, the attractive blonde
lady with him replied, "Sure he
has and it's just about the sire
of a cricket."

"Florence Allen has written a
brave book that will make every
man and woman, every boy and
girl more erect in spirit for the
reading. It should be read and re
read by every citizen and by all
youth who will inherit the honor
and the responsibility of self gov

The distinguished jurist is
known for her militant pride in
American freedom as won by the
Colonial fathers and safeguarded
in the constitution. To protect
these principles of democracy, she
urges that American children
memorize the declaration of inde

stitution, the Gettysburg address,
the multilateral pact for the re
nunciation of war, and the first
amendment to the constitution.
An Ohio State University educa
tor agrees with her, but adds to
this list Miss Allen's own book,
which, he says, should be required
reading of everyone. "It would
make a superb textbook for
schools, women's clubs, and men's
clubs, too," he states.
