Top
Cast of
Murder Play
When the curtain rises for the
University Theater's second pro
duction of the year, "The Two
Mrs. Carrolls," Margaret Dutton
and Richard Guy will be playing
the two lead roles announced Max
Whittaker, director. The play is
scheduled for Dec. 5, 6, and 7 at
the Nebraska theater.
Others receiving parts in the
production following tryouts last
week are as follows: Elaine El
liott will take the part of the first
Mrs. Carroll, and Bob Pfieler will
be seen in the role of Dennis Pen
ninton. Twila Walker is Mrs. La
tham, Janice Crilly is Cecily, Bill
Klamm is Dr. Tuttle and Jan Kop
pner is Clcmance.
Two members is the cast are
winners of the University Theater
acting awards presented last year
at the annual spring banquet of
the' Nebraska masquers. Margaret
Dutton received the "best actress"
award for a major role for her
performance a s Georgine i n
"Dream Girl" last year, and "best
suporting actress" award was pre
sented to Jan Crilly for her part
as Mrs. Atkins in "Beyond the
Horizon."
Dick Guy is a music major and
will be playing his first role in a
theater show. He is a member of
the Johnny Cox orchestra.
One unusual part in the pro
duction, pointed out Whittaker, is
the role of Clcmance. Jan Keppner
who is pl.ijing her first role in a
University play, in this role, will
speak only French.
"The Two Mis Carrolls," writ
ten by Martin Viile, presents a
psychological study of attempted
murder. "The play is a good ex
ample of contemporary theater in
ere iting and building suspense,"
claims the director, "and the final
outcome may come as a surprise
and shock to the audience."
The production has been pre
sented on Broadway, and has been
made into a motion picture, star
ring Barbara Stanwyck and Hum
phrey Bogart.
Rehearsals and work on the sets
have started already, announced
Whittaker. Assisting him are Clare
Denton, production manager; and
Mary Lou Thompson, prompter.
William Ellis, technical director
of the theater, still needs workers
on crews for the construction of
sets.

of all the students at the Satur
day game. Let's show them we're
behind them 100."
The price of the tickets, $14.75,
not only covers the cost of trans

our team come out victorious.
Along with the student crowd
that will migrate on the train, the
University ROTC band, Corn Cob
actives, Tassel actives and Yell
Squad members will be on hand
to keep up student spirit.

held their migration. The major
ity of that crowd traveled by
train.

Tickets have been on sale on
city campus and Ag campus for

Tuesday, November 8, 1949
Alfred Edwards, English indus
trialist and parliamentarian, will
address University students today
at 11 a.m. in the Union ballroom.
His topic will be "Has British So
cialism Failed?"
Regarded by many as one of the
best speakers in the British House
of Commons, Edwards represents
the Labor party, now in majority.
Appearing before many lecture
audiences in the United States
and contributing to American
magazines, Edwards has offered
many ideas on business and in
dustry. An economic analyst and
social reformer, he has been ac
tive in bringing about many
changes in the British situation.
Recently Edwards vigorously
opposed the proposed nationaliza
tion of Britain's steel and other
industries, and was strongly criti
cal of the success of the socializa
tion of England's coal industry,
for this stand he has been ex
pelled from the Labor Party.
In a recent speech at Edin
burgh, Scotland, the Englishman
declared that it was a great re
lief to be outside the Socialist
party after seventeen years inside
it. "They have expelled me," he
continued, "for saying what I
think about the folly of any more
nationalization, and now I feel
like a man released from cap
tivity." 1
E d w a r ds believes that the
trouble with the Socialist move
ment is that it refuses to move
"It still talks and thinks and
feels,' 'he claims, "as though it
were in opposition."
Mr. Edwards, born in humble
surroundings in Yorkshire, rose
rapidly and is now managing di
rector of Harrison Brothers, Ltd.
large manufacturing concern.
A discussion and answer period
will be held by Edwards at 3
p.m. in the faculty lounge for stu
dents who desire to attend.
The public is invited to attend
the convocation. There is no ad
mission charge.
