Experimental Theater Presents Prize Play;
Marr 'Superlative' in 'Due Unto Caesar9
BY EMILY SCHOSSBERGER.
The Experimental Theater last
night did itself proud with the
production of Martin Cobin's
prize-winning play, "Due Unto
Cesar."
The three-act tragedy was the
winning entry in the play-writing
contest annually sponsored
by Nebraska Masquers, and was
submitted by a University of
West Virginia drama and speech
professor. The play will also be
presented at the Regional Speech
and Drama conference in Omaha
April 29.
"Due Unto Caesar" is a drama
of ideas whose characters bear
symbolic names and whose ulti
mate thesis, though somewhat
confusedly presented, pleads for
peace through self-sacrifice and
for adherence to the beliefs Man
lives by even unto death.
CHRISTOPHER MANN is a
college professor in a country
just occupied by the enemy who
is forced into the position of
leader and organizer of an Un
derground. His staff consists of
Genghis, the professional soldier,
Goliath, the farmer; Mark, who
symbolizes, in a vague way, the
working people; the priest, rep
resenting the religious element;
Zaro, a young girl courrier; and
Grandma, the cook.
Mann is forced to resort to
violence which he abhors, until
he cannot render anymore to God
what is God's; he has given him
self over to Caesar and sacrificed
everything to him for the libera
tion of his country.
BUT WHEN THE war is won,
not without forcing the allegoric
Man to extreme personal sacri
fice, he is commanded by the
military to organize his under
ground troops into a standing
army. He refuses and chooses
certain death rather than to be
tray his idealism.
In the role of Christopher
Mann Gaylord Marr, veteran of
the University and Circlet The
aters, turned in a superlative
performance which made credi
ble the rather unreal character
of the idealist turned realist. He
succeeded in showing the growth
of the character itself as the
tragedy moved on from a slow
start to a climactic second act
and a moving final scene.
IN THE ROLE of the militarist,
Genghis, Jack McDonald, was
outstanding in his performance
of rigid adherence to discipline
and worship of force, which in
the end triumphs over the peace
lovers. k
Abe Katz as General of the
Armies; Max Lee as Mark; and
Mary Lou Thompson as Zaro
ably assisted the leading players,
with the help of Margaret Dutton
as Mann's wife, Ingrid; Michael
Shanahan, as Goliath; Don
Nichols, the priest; and Elaine
Lampshire, Grandma, in a piece
of much-needed comic relief.
The simple and yet interesting
stage setting achieved the styliza
tion intended in the excellent
direction of the play which, how
ever, was not carried through all
the way by all the participants.

Ts to Ship Used
Clothes to Europe
The YWCA and the YMCA are
sponsoring two clothing drives in
order to obtain clothing for many
of the war devastated areas. The
first drive will be from April 25
to May 2. The second drive will
be held from May 25 to June 3.
Any clothing, winter or summer,
which is in good condition, will
be appreciated.
A representative is to be ap
pointed in all organized houses to
assemble the clothing. They will
then be turned into the YWCA
office in Ellen Smith Hall. If
the representative is unable to
take the clothes over, he may
call the YWCA or the YMCA,
and they in turn will send a truck
to pick up the wearing apparel.
The need in the war devastcd
countries is urgent. These areas,
torn by war, are short of food,
clothing, and shelter.
The postage for the shipment
of these clothing boxes is to be
paid by the Church World Service.
Geier Reports
On Intra-Frat
Racial Panel
Many of the larger schools
face a definite racial problem in
their Greek organizations, a Uni
versity delegation to the Midwest
Interfraternity Council meeting'
reported. The delegation, com
posed of Leo Geier, Derald May
and Win Buckley, attended the
four-day meet at the University
of Minnesota from April 22 to
April 25.
THE MEN, acting as represent
atives of the interfraternity coun
midwest schools. The conference
with representatives of 14 other
cil, attended the sessions along
was sponsored by the University
of Minnesota in connection with
Greek Week.
The conference was conducted
in a series of panel discussions.
Geier attended the discussions on
racial discrimination while May
and Buckley sat in on the public
relations panels. Other panels
dealt with various phases of fra
ternity life including a purchas
ing system set up by Minnesota
whereby all Greek stores are
bought by a central agency.
"The racial problem seems to
have been created," Geier said.
THE PROBLEM which exists
is really minute but has been
played up by the papers to a
Hisnrnnnrtinnate extent. Geier
stated. In spite of the fact that
restrictive clauses have been re
moved from many constitutions
the howl seems to continue,
Geier added.
The problem seems to be espe
cially acute at the University of
Minnesota, he said.
This and many other issuscs
faced by students and Greeks in
larger schools simply do not ex
ist at the University of Nebraska,
Geier concluded.
Professor Speaks
The professor was telling his
class that he could prove beyond
any doubt that the amount of
knowledge at the university was
steadily increasing.
"Each year the freshmen bring
some in and each year the seniors
take none away," he explained.
