1 , A X V ;i v i f : J PAGE 4 asquers Play Continues By Staff Reviewer An excellent presentation A old-time melodrama is being staged by the Nebraska Mas quers this week. "Curse You, Jack Dalton," a typical tear jerking, hammy item of the last century will be presented again tonight and Saturday eve- t ning at 8 p. m. in the Union ball- ' room. Utilizing the novel circular "arena type" staging, the hour long play (free by the way) is supplemented by several ex cellent entre acts. Peanuts, pop corn, and candy are sold to help create the proper atmosphere. Trio Provides Music Adding the perfect touch to the performance is a tear-jerking string trio which provides the proper melodrama-'- mood music. The hero, Jack Daliun, is por trayed by Tom Stimpfig with just the right amount of good, clean, American-boyish, vim and vigor. Dressed in his turtle neck sweater and white knickers, he is the true example of pure manhood. His sweetheart, Bertha Blair, is played amid tears and heart strains by Christine Phillips. Rertha Blair is the eiiitome of a girl with only the highest of virtue and purity in her soul. The part of the arch-villainess Anna Elvarado, is played with obvious relish by Lois Nelson. Complete with ostrich-feather fan, false eyelashes, and an evil laugh, she concocts constant con niving cavortions. Others in the gesturing, laughing, shrieking, fainting, sneering cast are the arch-villain, Egbert van Horn played by Dick Garretson; the hero's moth er, Mrs. Dalton, played by Marty Miller; Eloise, sister of Jack Dalton, played by Janet Jenson; and the heroine's brother, Rich ard, played by Dave Sisler. Perfect Combination The entre acts supplemented the melodrama in such a way as to provide a perfect comoi nation of entertainment for the evening. Jim Tomasek's "Mam my songs," Sharon Fritzler's balladic satires, and Jack Moore's soft-shoe dancing were divert ing to say the least. The entire performance will be given again tonight and Sat urday evenings at 8 p.m. in the Union ballroom. Admission is free.

Forester Maxwell Boosts Tree Planting Nebraska lived up to its title of "Tree Planters State" last year by planting more than four million trees in rural areas. This year ,the tree-planting fever is going full swing, and the man who has helped whip up this fever is 66-year-old University extension forester, Earl G. Max well.

This film is one of the out standing English movies and stars James Mason, who has played in many American movies since, and Ann Todd, a talented English actress. The story keeps you on the edge of your chair throughout. Miss Todd is a talented concert pianist who is slightly neurotic and is rescued from suicide by Mason, a psychiatrist. He dis covers that she is dominated by her guardian, Lierin, and trys to help her. The scenes are filled with suspense and very realistic, typical of English films. Mason and Miss Todd are superb in their roles. ' sity students will be charged 50 cents with their ID card. Tnis Shakesnearean nlav is fa- milar to all and is particularly thrilling in the screen version since scenes the stage cannot pro duce are portrayed with effect by Orson Welles, producer and star. "Macbeth" is a drama of clash ing armies, murder and the moral downfall of a man (Macbeth) and his wife( Lady Macbeth) who are filled with ruthless ambition. Welles is King Macbeth, lured to his doom by his unscrupulous wife, portrayed by radio actress, Jeanette Nolan. Other important roles are played by Dan O'Her lihy Roddy McDowell, Edgar Barrier and Alan Napier.
