CAST FO NEXT
DRAMATIC PlAY
Ray Ramsay Takes Part of
'Queen's Husband' in
Production.
OTHER PLAYERS NAMED
Ray Ramsav, Maurine Drayton,
Mildred Orr. Walter Vogt and W.
Zolley Lerner will play the leading
roles in 'The Queen's Husband."
by Robert Emmet Sherwood, the
first production to be given in 1930
by the University Players.
Mr. Ramsay, who will take the
part of the "queen's husband." has
been a member of the University
Players in past years. Mr. Ram
say, who is now alumni secretary,
was in fact connected with the
dramatics department for many
years and served in the capacity
of business manager for the Play
ers. His popularity with his audi
ences has always been evident, and
he is espe?ially remembered for
his fine work in "He Who Gets
Slapped," "Alias the Deacon," and
"Old English."
Plays Role of King.
As the king m the" play, Mr.
Ramsay has a very delightful
character to portray. In contrast
to the domineering queen, he ap
pears a little henpecked at first,
but the audience soon learns that
regardless of his wife's orders, he
does as he pleases. His main idea
in life is to make everyone happy,
including himself. His one weak
ness is checkers and his one diffi
culty, the hiding of the checker
board away frcm his wife.
Maurine Drayton will be the
officious queen who dictates to
everyone. She revels in ceremonies
and is a strict advocate of exact
adherence to royal etiquette. Miss
Drayton has appeared in several
of the plays given this year by the
Players. She will be remembered
for her characterization of Kitty
in "The Royal Family."
Other Stars in Cast.
Mildred Orr, a senior in the dra
matics department, will act as
Anne, ths only child of the king
and queen. This young lady hates
being a princess, because it inter
feres with her marriage to Fred
rick Granton, her father's private
secretary, played by Walter Vogt,
who is well known for his excellent
work as Lord Darlington in the
last play given, "Lady Winder
mere's Fan."
W. Zolley Lerner takes the role
of General Noithrup, the pompous
prime minister with personal am
bitions which he fails to realize
because the king does not approve
of the way in which he treats the
common people.
Mr. Sherwood's play is a rol
licking comedy, bubbling over with
wit and humor. It is a good tonic
for a gloomy mood.
