BY JANET MASON.
The first university play of the season,
"Out of the Frying: Pan' experienced a suc
cessful opening last night, as a (h-lifjhted
erowd followed the east through a hilarious
evening of surprising events.
The audience's attention was captured im
mediately, as the curtain rose, by an attempted
murder, interrupter! ly the appearance of Mrs.
rjarnet, the landlady, capahly played by Joe
Weaver.
The play progresses rapidly from this
point, disclosing the plot of three young men
and three young women, living together in the
same apartment, to get parts in a Kroadway
play they have been rehearsing, which is to.be
east soon.
As the play unfolds, a double love story
is discovered. The first match is Marge Ben
son, played by Helen Kiesselbach, and Tony
Dennison, portrayed by Hob Black, who's mar
riage they are trying to keep secret ho that
the situation of three young men anu three
young women-living together in the same
apartment will not be complicated further.
The second match starts out rather un-
'Out jd hijinq fiwv'
evenly, particularly on the girl's side. Dotty
Coburn, played by Charlene Hohcnsee, is in
love with unsuspecting Norman Reese (Deorge
Blackstone). Norman learns of her affection
for him under odd circumstances and is caught
completely off guard, but after recuperating
from his surprise he discovers, to his amaze
ment, that he is also in love with her.
Dotty 's father, Mr. Coburn, portrayed by
Bill Palmer, manages to set the apartment in
an uproar by appearing in New York without
warning and calling on his daughter. When
three boys are discovered in Dotty's apartment
the excitement is tremendous as frantically in
vented explanations are offered to Mr. Coburn.
Chief scene-stealers in the play were
George Blaekstone and Janice Marx. In the
role of Dotty's guest, Muriel Foster, Janice
Marx sets the crowd roaring in a scene in the
third act, 7y appearing in ridiculous night
clothes and showing the effects of a rendez-vous-with-
.Mickey-Finn hangover.
Throughout the play, George Blaekstone,
