Popcorn, Peanuts
Theatre Plans 'Gay Nineties
Atmosphere for 'East Lynne
Fun Production
"Pop-corn, cracker-jacks, pea-1
nuts!" will be the greeting phrase
to all who enter the lobby on route
to "East Lynne," opening Univer
sity Theater production to be
given Oct. 29, 30 and 31. But the
pop-corn a"d peanut venders are
not sur . -cus; they are part of
the atr- ;h -e and mood that will
be apparent as soon as the play
goer enters the lobby.
This "hiss the villain and clap
for the hero" style will be carried
out through scenery, costumes.
lighting, and the entire manner oi
the play.
Burlesque Reigns.
Although the play was written
50 years before the gay nineties,
it is being produced witn me njig
lish setting and in the American
theatre style of the time in which
it became popular. To those of the
"younger generation" the broad
gestures (as of the villain strok
ing his mustache) will appear as
burlesque. However, to the older
ones, who recognize the style, it
will be serious.
First note of surprise to on
lookers will be the front curtain
which will be made up of typical
ads, and will also illuminate adver
tising on the programs.
Painted Perspective.
Other features of the scenery
to be used that were in vogue in
the "melodrama period" are the
painted perspective, (the painting
of scenes in me DacK arop anu
painting on some or tne rurnuurej,
use of candle-foot-light affects
(with lamps), ana me arjsence or
doors for exits. Instead, the exits
will all be in the wings. Only fur
niture that is absolutely necessary
for the play will be used.
Between acts will be musicals,
or "entre-acts," also typical of the
period.
Most of tne costumes win De
made by the students themselves.
As a part of their lab periods,
dramatic students of stagecraft
classes will paint drops and other
scenery. D. S. B rummer, techni
cal director, recommends that stu
dents who take no speech work
come over just for the work.
Student Organization.
Director Paul Bogen and tech-
Delts Make Plans for Large
Alum Crowd at Anniversary
nical people actually sit in the
audience when the final produc
tion begins. Students assume re
sponsibility in the rolls of stage
manager, director, and technical
crews. They rotate these positions
at each show so that everyone
gets experience.
This all-student idea started
last year, and this year certain of
the jobs are to count on the ac
tivity point system.
Over 65 out of town Delta Tau
Delta alumni have made reserva
tions for themselves and
wives for the 49th anniversary
celebration of the fraternity this
weekend.
The anniversary celebration will
begin with a luncheon served at
the chapter house before the game.
Alumni and their wives will sit to
gether in a block at the Indiana
game.
At the banquet Saturday night
Otto Koutouc will be toastmaster
and Arthus Weaver and Bob Man
ley of Omaha will be the chief
.sneakers. L. L. Waters will also
talk to the guests. The banquet,
theirwhich will be held in the Lincoln
hotel, will be followed by a dance
in the hotel ballroom. Wives and
daughters of the alumni will be
entertained at a dinner in the Lin
coln hotel before the dance.
Among the alumni coming for
the meetings will be past rover
nors Arthur J. Weaver and Adam
McMullen; Wheaton Battey, vice
president of the Continental Bank;
Otto Kotouc. state representative;
and other alumni from Denver,
West Virginia and Chicago.
