Chaos, Surprises Reign
At War Show Premier
BY RUTH KORB.
The curtain falls on the first
act of the War Show; chairs arc
being trampled to firewood be
cause of the enthusiastic reaction,
of the audience at the first per
formance Friday; tall, suave gang
sters pass among the people sell
ing gas stamps and red ration
stamps; and two coeds in the
front wait anxiously for the lights
to go on so that they can sec
who's with who.
The lights finally do go on, but
the coeds are disappointed, for
only the stage is lit. The first
surprise act is about to take
place. -A trumpet sounds a fan
. fare that sounds more like a
Brooklyn "razz-berry," and the
show goes on. Five long-boarded
gentlemen of the school can-can
onto the stage and spend the next
live minutes winking at the two
girls in the front row. '
