PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday, December 7, 1949 Cast, Direction Stand Out In 'The Two Mrs. Carrolls' By John Wenstrand. A satisfied audience sat thru two hours of excellent enter tainment with the University's presentation of "The Two Mrs Carrolls." This play, by Martin Vale, tells the strange story of a girl mar ried and deeply in love with man wnose emotional oaiance is delicately poised on the brink of insanity. The mediocre script was greatly overcome by the easiness of the actors and the ef fectiveness of sound and light. Margaret Dutton as the sec ond Mrs. Carroll gave a most comfotable performance. The ease with which she moved and the fine points of characterization which she drew well revealed her knowledge of the stage and its demands. Tortrayal of Husband The portrayal of her husband by Richard Guy, was done with a deft touch that actually brought screams from the audience in the final scene. Only the lack of the brooding undercurrents of the character in the first scene kept full strength from the role. The lever which upset the balance of his mind, the embittered, virtue less widow whose callousness had already ruined three lives, was well done by Jan Crilly. Credit for helping to make Act II, Scene I powerful should go to tlaine Elliott as the first Mrs. Carroll. When he bodily actions match her most absorbing voice she will be an accomplished act ress. Bill Klamm as the fumbling, incompetent-but-jolly doctor gave CY 'C5 YM's City-A Out to Increase Membership Increasing freshmen and sopho more membership is the goal of the present all-out drive of the city campus and Ag campus YMCA. Meetings of the YM, a move ment of Christian students in terdenominational, interracial and international in scope are held the 4th Wednesday every month in the YM lounge in the Temple building from 7 to 8 p.m. A series of speakers, panels and movies have been scheduled for the year. Joint Meeting A joint meeting with the YW is held the second Wednesday of each month when discussions and recreation are featured. Two commission groups, recrea tional service group and Bible study group, have been organized this fall. Meetings are held the first r.nd third Wednesdays of the month at 7 p.m. at the lounge. Twice each school year at dif ferent campuses, the Nebraska District YM-YW conference is j held. The fall conference this se : mestcr met at York College, and the spring meet will be at Mid land college. Oli.er Activities Intramural sports are another activity of the YM. Teams are en tered in bowling, ping-pong, bas ketball and softball. Highlighting the softball season is the annual city campus-Ag campus fracas in the spring. A picnic and posses sion of the ''little brown jug" create spirited competition. As a member of the Religious Welfare council, the YM helps sponsor Religion in Life Week and All-Campus Vespers. Other events sponsored by the organization are t)ie All-Campus Lenten service and all-campus forums. Foreign movies to provide edu cational and recreational oppor tunity for all students are shown during the year at Love Library auditorium. Charles F. Kemp is the execu tive secretary with offices in the Temple building. a slightly overdone byt extremely well-timed performance. Ex-Fiance. If there was a hero which gave little, if any, cKance for character ization it was Pennington, ex fiance of the seewnd Mrs. Carroll. Bob Pfeile made the most of a weakly written part. The always difficult part of the older, mature woman was handled without strain and with gracefulness by Twila Walker. And for once the audience did not see a pert, cute French maid, but an old sloppy natural one which, as done by Janet Kepner, was one of the best of the minor characterization. Max Whittaker has done his finest directing jobs with this play, except for a rather long, ex disable delay between the last two scenes, has instilled the tense ness and dramatic sense needed. Winter Park Site of Skiers' Yulctidc Trip NU Skiers will take a trip to Winter park during the last week of Christmas vacation.
