This marks the second of a series of plays given by the University Theatre this year. The play is a mixture of three tragedies and a dash of comedy as Sherwood attempts to show the immediate effects of war upon the common peoples of Europe during World War I. Through in dividual tragedies of persons of various nationalities, Sherwood re flects the philosophies of European nations during this era. The setting is a hotel in northern Italy just before the outbreak of the war between Germany and the hotel after a bombing raid on Among the hotel guests are Larry Van, portrayed by Les Mathis, an American showman on a barnstorm tour of Europe with a troupe of six dumb, but beautiful chorus girls portrayed by Kathy Grabill, Mary Kay Tolliver, Janet Peterson, Nancy Widner, Marilyn Lehr and Diane Downing. Betty Lester, in the role of Irene, a phony Russian adventuress, distracts Van from all thoughts of war as he tries to remember where and when he has seen her before. The blase and sophisticated conversation between Van and Irene provides much of the comedy of Mr. and Mrs. Cherry, a young English couple married only three days, are played by Charles Huestis and Mary Sidner. , Jim Mason, as Weber, a German munitions manufacturer, repre sents the inhuman aspect of the industrialist desiring to make money and gain prestige at the cost of human suffering. The third tragedy is reflected through Dr. Valdersee, a German scientist, who is forced to leave his work of perfecting a cure for cancer to return to aid the people who destroyed his work. Included in the cast are: Wesley Jensby, Henry Gibson, Rich ard Marrs, George Hancock, Marvin Stromer, Charles Peterson, Richard Miller, John Moore, Tom Nuss, Curt Seimers, Paul Bar low, Patricia Loder and Arnold Otto. Max Whittaker is director of the play; Marjorie Miller is pro duction manager; and John Tolch, speech and dramatic art instruc- i", is tecnmcai airecror.

Although Miss Widner and Kathy GrabilL another of the blase American chorus girls, seem quite dismayed at their lack of social life during the past weeks, they are sold on the play. Miss Grabill remarked that she would be "excited" to see "Idiot's Delight" if she were not in the cast. According to the girls, the 24 member cast will practice in the Nebraska theater, where the play will be presented, for the first time Tuesday. The practice will last the entire day, almost until the 8 p.m. show time. Despite the nearness of the deadline, Misses Grabill and Wid ner did not appear to be worried in the least about their parts. "We have practiced and prac ticed our parts," they said, "until we know just all there is to do." They explained the chorus girls they portray as "typical Americans," unaffected by im pending war in Europe. The girls, they said, are hardened with show business and are cold to the entire matter.
