Cast Comments on Roles
In Opening Production
BY FRANK JACOBS.
Perhaps the most interesting
comments one hears about a play
are those of the players them
selves. Just before an important
technical rehearsal of "Dream
Girl," opening Wednesday, the fol
lowing action took place back
stage at the Temple theater.
The first person questioned was
the dream girl herself, Margaret
Dutton. New to N. U. stages, she
is a graduate assistant at the
Temple. About her role as
Georgina Allerton she had this to
say, "the part is delightful through
the many changes of mood. Since
the dream girl appears in all 27
scenes on a revolving stage there
is a feeling of being on a per
petual merry-go-round. The 11
split-second changes in dress
hardly eliminate the confusion,"
she added.
Dewey. Too.
As this is an election year, this
story would not be complete
without a Dewey, and who should
be seen next, but Dewey Ganzel,
he of the dry wit.
Dewey, struggling with the
candy vending machine, had this
to utter about his role. "The part
of Jim Lucas is an interesting
one to me as it gives me a chance
to play the part of the idealistic
lover.' Nuff said.
Pushing right and left through
the now oncoming mob of auto
graph seekers heading Dewey's
way, your reporter caught a
glimpse of Elizabeth Fullaway
above the many heads. Elizabeth
portrays Georgina's mother.
When questioned about her part,
she said, "It's a lot of fun to do,
even if it gets a bit tiring sneez
ing as Mrs. Allerton has a . . .
a . . . a . . . cold Atchoo! Live
the part, I always say."
Next . . .
Next on my list was Ced Hart
man. Ced takes the part of the
male lead, Clark Redfield, a book
critic. Another newcomer to the
University Theater, he has had
experience in dramatics at the
University of Iowa. He consid
ers his role "definitely different."
Finally, after a lenghty search,
who should I spy behind a 1945
issue of "Billboard," by Jack
Wenstrand, remembered for his
stirring performance as Baker in
"The Man Who Came to Din
ner." Jack, a man of few words
but of many lines, plays the part
of Georgina's father. About the
role, he resourcefully mused, "It's
an interesting character pait."

$13 Payment Includes
Round-Trip Fare, Game
"Those who buy their migration tickets first will get
the best football game seats."
That was the reminder issued today by Harvey Davis,
student migration committee chairman. Tickets for the mi
gration went on sale Monday in the Union lobby.
Ticket Includes Trip, Game.
The $13 migration ticket in
cludes round-trip fare to Law
rence, Kas., on a chartered Union
Pacific train, and a seat at the
Kansas U.-Nebraska game.
Rex Hof fmeister, committee
member, pointed out that it also
includes the snack coach on the
train, bridge games, songs, cheers,
and special entertainments during
travel time. He added, "But more
important, it is a real investment
in the victory spirit of our team."
"Migrations are loads of fun,"
said Pat Black, another commit
tee member, "and are an impor
tant part of memorable college
days. The trip this year should be
within reach of the average stu
dent's budget and promises to of
fer even more fun than previous
ones."
Borgens Emphasizes No Drinking.
Dorothy Borgens, member of
the migration committee appoint
ed by the Student Council, em
phasized the "no drinking" policy
which will be strictly enforced on
the migration this year. She
pointed out that the faculty com
mittee on student functions has
promised to discontinue the trip
in future years if this migration
does not speak well for the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
"One of the most successful mi
grations sponsored by the Council
was held in 1946, also to Law
rence," said Miss Borgens. "A co
operative attitude was shown by
traveling students that year by
not carrying any liquor on the
train." t
"We expect this year's trip to
run as smoothly, for campus lead
ers have agreed to assist in this
plan," she remarked.
Council, Innocents to Supervise.
At least ten Student Council
members and the 1948-49 Inno
cents will be on hand to supervise
the trip, Miss Borgens added.
Members of the band and the
cheerleading squad can get tickets
for the trip by showing their
ident cards at the Student Activi
ties office, announced Dean W. C.
Harper. The University will pay
the way of these students.
Organized houses began com
petition in the migration ticket
selling "contest to show school
spirit" Monday. The house having
the highest percentage of mem
bers buying tickets will have their
"sweetheart song" played by the
full school orchestra at the Home
coming game. '
