Perhaps you were among the few who saw the stage production of "The Fourposter" which played in Omaha last Thursday through Saturday. If you saw the play, all is well if not, I'd like to tell you a lit tle about it. The Fourposter" is a three- act, six-scene play with only two characters, the entire production taking place in a bedroom equipped with tha once-popular fourposter bed. Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, In reality a man and wife team, star. The action runs from 1890 when the cou ple are married until 1929 when they are successful, elderly and still gay. Miss Tandy and Cronyn achieve an air of reality that causes the married people in the audience to laugh uproariously at situations which have probably occurred in all seriousness in their families. As a "youngster" I saw intima tions of my own family. And in this reality the play is truly an excellent comedv. One of the best bits is in Scene Two of Act Two when the Fa- ,'ther, pacing the floor waiting for inis teen-age son to get home from 'a date, begins pulling his sliehtlv UmI U --LL'weathered hair out At 4 JIU llUl naSS6ICC!ICn Father marches into his son's Wishes of the University chap-. possible to discover the effect nf bedroom and discovers a bottle le Glass Box Abandoning SDK Survey Was 'Common Sense' The DeBartmeitt f tnt.ri- iter of Sigma Delta Chi and. furth- the various components of the '? bourbon.
