THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
ovieland Satire Offers
Laughs
A play which pokes fun at the
motion picture industry and con
sequently brings out all sorts of
unbelievable things to laugh at
will be given as the University
Theater's fourth play of this sea
son. "Once in a Lifetime," written
by Kaufman and Hart, will be
presented at the Nebraska thea
ter, March 27, 28 and 29
Featuring a total ca.it of 36,
one of the largest groups to par
ticipate in a University Theater
play, the comedy-satire throws
all its effort on taking a good
natured slap at Hollywood
The play's plot concerns it
self mostly with the silly antics
of three hairbrained people who
join the gold rush to Hollywood
when the talkie rage begins.
Three Stars
These three, May, Jerry and
George, are played respectively
by Lois Nelson, Michael Shana
han, and Abe Katz. All three hit
upon the idea of opening a school
of speech and then the trouble
begins.
Mnv ftnnns nn the school and
the picture companies send all
their "hopefuls" to her; Jerry
is the business manager and the
rather dense-minded George is
the technician. Nothing seems to
run according to schedule or
plan, and ultimately George,
dumb at nearly everything, is
made executive director of the
great motion picture industry.
The authors who are well
known for "The Man Who Came
to Dinner," have striven to in
clude a picture of the inside fol
lies and comical absurdities of
the talkies.
Beside the unusually large cast,
50 students are taking care of
the technical arrangements.
Costumes, Makeup
Costumes and makeup are de
signed to carry out the theme
of Hollywood portrayals. Light
and sound effects will be used,
in large part, to lend humor to
the atmosphere.
In all, five sets with two of
these being used twice during
the play, will be put to use. The
sets are being built to facilitate
rapid movement and to carry out
the satire of the play. William
Ellis is technical director.
Margaret Denton, business
manager, announced that box of
fice hours would be maintained
during this week, 12:30 to 5 p. m.
at the Temple theater. Also, stu
dents will be able to purchase
tickets Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday, dates of the produc
tion, from 12:30 p. m. until cur
tain time. Single admission price
is 81.20.
Rex Knowles
Will Address
Vesper Goers
Reverend Rex Knowles will be
the guest speaker at the Vesper
service today. Sponsored by the
Religious Welfare council, the
Vesper services will be continued
until Easter and will be held in
Love Library auditorium at 5
p.m.
Rev. Knowles said. "One man
has said, 'An atheist is a person
with no visible means of support.'
Present day society seems to be
in the same condition. It is falling
apart from lack of the cement
that holds the world together."
He continued by saying that,
"Scientists, sociologists, econo
mists, and statesmen are join
ing the clergy in telling us that
only in spiritual realities can we
find the answers to the problems
cf the world. We cannot afford
to disregard this almost universal
witness of clear thinking men.
For wholeness of life we need
not only a view of our contemo
raries, our work and our world,
we need also the vision of our
God."
The carillion tower will be
used as a call to vespers with
selections played by Prof. Myron
Roberts of the music department.
Rev. Knowles will speak on
How Do You Balance?"

him away with a fuller sense of
his own potentialities and the
power of realizing thorn."
