Finds Miscellaneous Distractions ' in Classes

"Twelfth Night" Shakespeare
Comedy, Hits Boards-Thursday
BY DEDE MEYER
The week of production is here.
After hours of rehearsing, days
spent in constructive sets, learn
ing lines, and plotting scenes,
"Twelfth Night" is ready to hit
the boards. This dramatic comedy
of William Shakespeare, given by
the University Theatre players,
will be presented on March 14, 15,
and 16 in the Temple Theatre, at
8 o'clock p. m.
To most students, the works of
Shapespeare represent stiff and
formal writings, the poetic value
of which can be seen only by
eager bookworms. But Shake
speare's plays were written to be
acted, not read. His comedies are
all hilarious and bawdy. Tho to
the reader they be dry, Shake
speare's plays, especially his ro
mantic comedies, of which
"Twelfth Night" is the greatest,
present to the observer a bit of
witty and riske entertainment
from the stage. x

"Good morning," beamed Prof.
Blurp and the students threw
open the grimy windows to re
assure themselves and the Blurp
prodigy that it was indeed a beau
tiful morning, closing the case
ments only in time to save a few
from frozen feet (ffff) and gan

of the asphyxia " and ack to my
amazement there appeared "on the

The University Theatre, in pro
ducing "Twelfth Night" has a
lavish achievement of theatrical
extravaganza. It has gone all out
to make this one of the univer
sity's most memorable shows.
Stage sets are rich ?nd imagina
tive, keeping in tune with the
spirit of fantasy thruout the play.
Costumes aptly fit the period of
16th century England, when tights
and bloomers were the rage for
men, and noble ladies dressed in
velvet and ermine.
Full of intrigue, romance and
dueling, "Twelfth Night" is a
show that everyone can enjoy, and
a show that is neither high-brow
nor stiff. From the rollicking
drunkedness of Sir Toby, to the
devilish caprices of Maria, it is a
delightful and truly entertaining
production.
Tickets to "Twelfth Night" may
be obtained at the University The
atre box office in the Temple
building
to depart, crashing thru the wall-
never uses a door apparently.
Upon inquiring we find that this
character is an ambitious janitor
who doesn't spare himself collect
ing scrap paper in his effort to
become an eagle scout.
Blurp Advertises.
After this bit of diversion my
ocular faculties come to rest upon
Blurp. The apparatus occuring on
his nose I have concluded to be a
pair of glasses, the changing color
of the rims formulating the words
"Kleenex."
There occurs a perconality in
the window and the late comer
rolls panting onto the deck, mut
tering unintelligibles about the
building needing stairs. I told him
this was strictly an airplane age
or have you tried Wheaties?
