"Ticket to Tomahawk," a musi
cal comedy starring Dan Dailey
and Ann Baxter, is the film to
be shown at the Saturday Night
Cabaret in the Ag Union at 8 p.m.
Saturday.
Also featured at the Cabaret
are dancing, television, ping pong
and card games.
Jim Mason, as Weber, a Ger
man munitions manufacture, rep
resents the inhuman aspect of the
industrialist who desires to pro
mote trouble in order to make
money and gain prestige at the
cost of human suffering.
The third tragedy is reflected
through Dr. Valdersee, a German
scientist, who is forced to leave
his work of perfecting a cure for
cancer to return to aid the people
who destroyed his work.
Much of the comedy is based
on the blase and sophisticated
conversation between Harry
Van and Irene. Irene is as de
termined that he will not learn
her identity, as Harry is that
he will recall how he had met
her previously.
Robert Sherwood obtained much
of his information of European
philosophies for "Idiot's Delight"
as a ghost writer for President
Roosevelt during World War II.
He also has written "There Shall
Be No Night" which tells the story
of the Russian invasion of Finland.
