Fourth Play
Performance BY WALLY BECKER.
After a conference with the
theater director D. S. Williams,
Dean T. J. Thompson announced
Friday that an extra performance

action was present the opening
night of "Skin of Our Teeth,"
was completely absent in the
Friday night production. Action
moved swiftly and smoothly.
Actors punched their lines with
vigor and fervor and the respon

sympathetic and receptive than
