Whipping last minute plans into shape, Armand
Hunter, director of the University Theatre, today
made polishing of parts his principle duty as he
prepared for the opening on Wednesday of Maxwell
Anderson's drama, "Key Largo".
Shown above is a scene from the prologue of
the play which depicts five Loyalist soldiers mak
ing a last stand at a mountain pass during the
Spanish Civil war. From left to right are Wil
liam Green, Kenneth Miller, Walter Kiechel, Max
Whittaker, and Glenn Nelson. They have just
learned that the Loyalist troops are retreating,
leaving them to a certain death before the on
coming troops of Franco.
First drama.
The play represents the first attempt of the
Theatre to produce a drama during the current
season. "Key Largo" deals with the conflict within
a man that may result from the conflict in the
world itself and is, according to Hunter, "in most
respects the biggest production of the year, from

Avery laboratory and on both sides of the segment connecting
the two streets on the upper mall, it was announced Saturday;
by Sergeant Kegler and the Innocents parking committee.
Because funds are not available for the paintiig of
diagonal lines traffic directors will help students orient them
selves to the new system. Innocents committee members
stated that "because there will be no lines painted separating
stalls it will take the cooperation of the entire student body
to insure success of the plan."
Together with L. F. Seaton, operating superintendent, the
Innocents had decided Dec. Hi to initiate diagonal parking on
12th from X north to Ihe athlelic field, the south sides of the
two streets bordering the lower mall and along both sides of
the north and south segments of the upper mall.
Deciding that the expense was too great a modification
of the plan is to be used until sufficient funds can be gathered
to continue the originally proposed action.
