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

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. Ac
commodations have been ar
ranged for about twenty people,
and more will be made available
later.
Transportation will be in stu
dent's cars. The trip should cost
about forty dollars, including ski
rentals, transportation, food
lodging and tow tickets. The
gang will stay at the bunkhouse
by the ski tows.
Skiing has become increasing
ly popular on the University
campus in recent years. This in
terest has been reflected by the
organization of a University ski
club, the NU Skiers, formed to
enable students to ski and to fol
low the sport as members of the
National Ski association.
For the more advanced skiers.
the club will give aid and in
struction to those desiring to en
ter competition at the many
meets sponsored by the clubs in
the national associatiton. Several
members of the club have had
competitive experience in down
hill slalom, jumping and cross
country events.
Beginners will be instructed in
safety, etiquette, the history of
skiing and proper choice of
equipment. Fundamentals of
skiing will also be covered.
The club meets every other
Wednesday in the Union, or as
announced in the Daily Ne
braskan. In the program for this
Wednesday will be a talk on the
history of skiing by Bjorn Karl
son. A movie short on skiing
and a discussion of the Christmas
trip will be included.
