PAGE 8 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN ovieland Satire Offers Laughs A play which pokes fun at the motion picture industry and con sequently brings out all sorts of unbelievable things to laugh at will be given as the University Theater's fourth play of this sea son. "Once in a Lifetime," written by Kaufman and Hart, will be presented at the Nebraska thea ter, March 27, 28 and 29 Featuring a total ca.it of 36, one of the largest groups to par ticipate in a University Theater play, the comedy-satire throws all its effort on taking a good natured slap at Hollywood The play's plot concerns it self mostly with the silly antics of three hairbrained people who join the gold rush to Hollywood when the talkie rage begins. Three Stars These three, May, Jerry and George, are played respectively by Lois Nelson, Michael Shana han, and Abe Katz. All three hit upon the idea of opening a school of speech and then the trouble begins. Mnv ftnnns nn the school and the picture companies send all their "hopefuls" to her; Jerry is the business manager and the rather dense-minded George is the technician. Nothing seems to run according to schedule or plan, and ultimately George, dumb at nearly everything, is made executive director of the great motion picture industry. The authors who are well known for "The Man Who Came to Dinner," have striven to in clude a picture of the inside fol lies and comical absurdities of the talkies. Beside the unusually large cast, 50 students are taking care of the technical arrangements. Costumes, Makeup Costumes and makeup are de signed to carry out the theme of Hollywood portrayals. Light and sound effects will be used, in large part, to lend humor to the atmosphere. In all, five sets with two of these being used twice during the play, will be put to use. The sets are being built to facilitate rapid movement and to carry out the satire of the play. William Ellis is technical director.

Rex Knowles Will Address Vesper Goers Reverend Rex Knowles will be the guest speaker at the Vesper service today. Sponsored by the Religious Welfare council, the Vesper services will be continued until Easter and will be held in Love Library auditorium at 5 p.m. Rev. Knowles said. "One man has said, 'An atheist is a person with no visible means of support.' Present day society seems to be in the same condition. It is falling apart from lack of the cement that holds the world together." He continued by saying that, "Scientists, sociologists, econo mists, and statesmen are join ing the clergy in telling us that only in spiritual realities can we find the answers to the problems cf the world. We cannot afford to disregard this almost universal witness of clear thinking men. For wholeness of life we need not only a view of our contemo raries, our work and our world, we need also the vision of our God." The carillion tower will be used as a call to vespers with selections played by Prof. Myron Roberts of the music department. Rev. Knowles will speak on How Do You Balance?"
