University Theatre cast sparkles in first
performance of how, 'See My Lawyer'
By Don Bower.
University Theatre sent its
patrons home happy, laughing,
perhaps, at the memory of Irving
Frankel sleeping on the daven

give me a knife," or perhaps at
the fake psychopathic examina
tion of the millionaire playboy,
Robert Carlin, or Blossom's story
of her abduction at least they

There was humor before a word
was spoken. Am the curtain went
up, the young lawyer looked like

three bored young men, one sleep

clients that never came. Pvusso

Although the play was slow
getting started and humor seemed
to be forced in the first act, the
second-and third acts put the
players in the same good humor
as the audience enjoyed. In the
second act, after the firm had
been contracted to do Carlin's le
gal work, Morris Schneerer tried
to blackmail the firm into giving
him a raise. It worked, but there
was a fallacy in that Schneerer,
played by Louis Meyer, did not
tell the secretary that he wis to
get the raise.
The love-making between Ar
thur Lee, portrayed by Clarence
Flick and Fay Frankel, acted by
Josephine Gold, seemed genuine,
but the millionaire playboy, Glenn
Nelson, was too timid in the task
to be convincing.
At the close of the second act,
must be made on or before the sec
ond Friday preceding election. The
amendment was tabled until the
following meeting when it will be
voted upon.
Priscilla Chain, Ruth Clark,
Lowell Michael and Tess Cassidy

Dr. Fishbein has been in the
forefront in many crusades to im
prove the nation's health and
stamp out disease, and has been
particularly active in exposing
fads, quacks and fakers in the

most pernicious quackery now be
fore the American people.
Daily reporters
must attend staff
meeting today
All reporters on the DAILY

meeting this afternoon at 4:45
p. m. in the office of the DAILY

The meeting will consist of a
rearrangement of beats on the
basis of work done thus far.
For this reason it is essential
that all on the staff is present
for this meeting.
the big burly cop acted nervous
and almost completely fumbled
his job of herding Lee off the set.
Blossom LeVerne, the chorus
girl, played by Mary Adelaide
Hansen, was excellent in her role,
her swagger and hard tone voice
belonging to most any chorus girl
on Broadway. OTiourke's quick
changes from lawyer to window
washer offered laughs, as did his
struggle with his partners when
the latter tried to force him out
side the window on the 22nd story.
All in all good.
Although Glenn Nelson was not
convincing in his love-making, his
cane-swinging and presentation of
a silky underthing to Fay Frankel
made up for it.
S. B. Jameson, played by Stan
Klein, fainted most convincingly,
and his odd mannerisms of speech
were well done. He was a half
way villain in the play, and his
melodramatic threats to get even
were received with much laughter,
