Tense Climax
As Waiting for Left f a Hit
BY FRANK JACOBS
No punches were pulled last
night as an overflow crowd saw
the Experimental Theatre sue
cessfully open their dramatic sea
son with the intense social drama
of the middle thirties, Clifford
Odets' "Waiting for Lefty."
The drama, a brutal saga of depression-weary
metropolitan life,
was mainly a picture of the strug
gles of desperate taxicab drivers
but was visably inoculated by appropriately-placed
shots of East
ern philosophy.
The stage was the platform of
a typical, smoky, bare hackies
union hall. Uniquely staged
each intense flashback was the
result of superb lighting.
Cabbies Speak
The play began and ended on a
note of brilliant oration; the first
an earnest plea by Joe Mitchell,
played by Jack MacDonald, the
latter a fiery demand by Agate,
Abe Katz.
The skillfully-handled scenes
mounted from climax to climax,
culminating in an unsurpassable
bit of stagecraft by Katz, as
Agate, the man who wore an
empty socket for an eye to de
note his position "deep down in
tthe working class." When word
was brought that Lefty, who is
waited for until the final scene,
had been shot in the street, the
Former
Successor
Dr. W. V. Lambert, an alum of '21, will officially assume his
duties as the new dean of the college of agriculture Friday. Dean
Lambert relieves Dr. Frank Keim who has been Acting Dean since
W. W. Burr retired last spring. The new dean will also be director
of the agricultural experiment station at the University of Nebraska.
Long regarded as an authority in animal husbandry, the new
head comes directly from the post of Director of the Agricultural
Griswold Plans
Talk in Union
Tuesday at 11
Nebraska's former Gov. Dwight
Griswold will address members of
the University student body and
faculty body in the Student Union
ballroom Tuesday morning at 11
a. m.
Mr. Griswold's subject will be
"Report on Greece." As head of
the American Mission to Greece,
Griswold had control of Ameri
can aid to that country and is
recognized as an expert on foreign
aid control.
Sunday's Daily Nebraskan will
carry further comment on Oris
wold's appearance in the Union.
A capacity crowd welcomed the
former eovernor back from his
long tour of duty in Greece at a
chamber of commerce luncheon
sponsored by the Kiwanis club.
Thrills Crowd
crowd Is driven to strike at last.
Perhaps the finest bit of inter
pretation ever heard on Experi
mental Theatre stages was dis
played through Katz's enactment
of the savagely-emotioned Agate.
So stunned was the audience,
after his closing speech, that a
definite hush was noticeable fol
lowing the curtain-lowering. But
that did not prevent the standing
room crowd from claiming the
cast for four curtain calls.
Play Has Realistic Beginning:.
The audience was given an in
deed realistic introduction to the
ensuing struggle. In perhaps, the
all-around best-enacted scene of
the play, MacDonald and Elaine
LarrTphear portrayed a turbulent
scene of domestic furor. As
Edna, a hard-bitten, disagreeable
woman, whose children "had
never tasted a grapefruit," she
gave a hard, almost too hard, im
pression of the depression-exhausted
wife of 1935.
Proving their dramatic merit in
the diversified flashbacks, were
Temple veteran Gay Marr, under
standing in the role of Dr.
Barnes; Gladys Jackson, as the
refreshing producer's secretary,
and John Woodin, sincerely play
ing his part of the spineless
strike-breaker. John McEroy ca
pably carried the main role of the
crooked union official, Fatt,
throughout the production.

join our staff," Chancellor Gus
tavson said. "He is without doubt
one of the nation's topflight re
search men. He is an able and
recognized administrator, known
in the midwest, and will bring a
wealth of experience to the state
and the University of Nebraska."
