In Gay Comedy 'Hay Fever ?
BY JANET MASON.
Yes, it was rather confusing!
When one wasn't too overcome
with laughter, he found himself In
the same rolicking situation as the
four unfortunate guests who came
to visit the Blisses summer home,
in the University Theater play,
"Hay Fever."
"Rolicking situation" Is a mild
way of describing Wednesday's
opening of Noel Coward's comedy,
which kept the audience in hys
terics for a good part of the eve
ning. Janice Marx equaled last
year's brilliant performance in
"Arsenic and Old Lace" with her
portrayal of Judith Bliss in "Hay

"In such a scholarship it is our
aim to honor our father's memory
with something that is in lina
with one of his greatest interests,"
Charles T. Stuart said. "As the
owner of farm properties in the
state, our father always was de
voted to various programs for de
velopment of Nebraska's agricul
tural resources. The encourage
ment of young men to study at our
agricultural college is one of the
best ways to contribute to this
field."

Life with the Bliss's.
Involved in a mad mix-up of
household affairs, four week end
guests sneaked, screamed and
ploughed their way thru a hectic
day of social life with the Bliss
family.
It all started when each mem
ber of the family unknown to the
others invited a guest out for the
week end and following events
found the guests thrown around to
the point where each ended up
with another member of the fam
ily than the one who invited him.
The next morning saw all four
guests sneaking out of the house
together.
