Saturday night's final curtain will end University Thea ter activities for the year. Produced in German, "Pgyma lion" was the first performed at the Berlin Lessing Theater in 1913, and the first English per formance was given in London six months later. Wlftle not en thusiatically acclaimed in London, the play was accepted humorous ly in New York when it opened one year after-its Berlin run. A Stage magazine critic who re viewed the New York production noted that the show was "roasted and panned to a fare-you-well in London because the flower girl used a bad word."

Eliza Doolittle, played by Mar garet Huff, is a Cockney flower girl whose life consisted of little mm - , pt more than peddling her ephemeral wares until the day that she was taken in hand by a phonetics pro fessor, Henry Higgins, played by Dean Granunke. Higgins, having made a wager with Colonel Pick ering (Donald Hall) that in six months time he can "make a ter-snipe," gives Eliza enough training in speech manner and social graces to win his bet. All duchess of that draggle-tailed gut well and good, but the play does not end here. The question arises: what's to be done with the newly created duchess? The solution brings about the inevitable com plications of the experiment and the many involved situations which Shaw inveighs with his own inimitable wit and humor. Rex Coslor plays Eliza's father, Alfred Doolittle, one of the thank fully "undeserving poor" and eloquent antagonist of middle See THEATER, page 4. OF CLOSED SECTIONS 12. 1947 P. M. Eng.
