"The School Mistress" To Be Produced by University of Omaha F'inal tryouts in the University of Omaha Dramatic club play, "The School Mistress," were held last Friday evening. Miss Dorothy Gray and Cylde Bennett were chosen as "leads" and Margaret Powell and Jack Bcacom as co stars. The play is one of Arthur W. Pinero's best legitimate stage suc cesses and is" probably one of the hardest productions ever attempted by the University Dramatic club. Dr; W. Gilbert James, dean of the College of Arts and Science, is du recting the play and had charge of picking the cast. Last year the University Dramatic club gave one of Mr. Pinero's other productions, the "Amazons," the production being held in the univer sity gym. Two performances had to be given owing to the small space and large crowds, so it has not as yet been decided whether this season's play will be given in the gym or in the Brandeis theater. Other members of the cast in the "School Mistress" are: Wayne Rcevei, Izma Tucker, Elizabeth Taylor, Dorothy Caiman, Loren Thomson, Harold Bough, Paul Prcsslcy and Leona Johnston.
