With Skit Appearing as- The last number on the 1936 Artists' Course, the Yale Puppeteers will be presented in Schwab auditorium tonight at 8 o'; clock. Single seat tickets, of which there are about eighty-live in the $5 section of the auditorium, will cost $1 for this number. The show, entitled "Mr. Punch at Borne," is an informal presentation done in the revue style with Forman Brown, composer and author of all music and lyrics, as master of cere monies. Although using what has come to be thought of as an essen tially adolescent entertainment me dium; it should be noted, that as em ployed hy the Yale group, puppetry is extended to a position of being a fine art and the show is definitely adult entertainment. A succession of episodes or acts, "Ml. Punch at Home," takes many of the notables and personalities of the day—movie stars in 'particular—for a goOd-natured hilarious ride and the 'result is' smart, sophisticated enter tainment: Harry Burnett; director of the show, has created all of the puppets used and has done it so effec tively that it is no trouble at all to pick out the personalities they repre sent. Among the portrait puppets in-. eluded are Walter Hampden, Kath arine Cornell, Bernard Shaw ' Shir ley Temple,-Marion: Davies, Lillian Harvey, and many others.

Fresh from their recent triumph at the Bayres Theatre in New York City during the Christmas season, the Yale Puppeteers have an enviable record behind thent • They supplied and operated the 200 puppets which appeared in last year's motion pic ture success, "I am Suzanne," star ping Lillian Harvey. Previous to their motion picture ac tivity the group was centered for two years in .Los Angeles, operating in a small theatre called "Theatro Torito," which means Theatre' of the Little Bull." It was a very' small theatre, and because Harry' Burnett,, director of the company, made such inimitable -reproductions of the famous. movie stars in his puppets, the theatre was filled.nightly with celebrities.' Before leaving on their present road trip the Yale Puppeteers were ',..busy. in 'New York. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights they gave performances at their large 'stu dio, the "Club Guignol," on Sunday nights they participated in that unique advertisement now in its fourth successful year, "Catharine A. Bamman's Sunday Nights," at the' Barbizon-Plaza Theatre, while 'other nights were taken up by special en gagembnts.

Easter Holiday Ends; Dean Gets Usual Unusual Excuses llow can a person set an alarm clock at five o'clock in the evening in order for it to ring at seven the next morning? This question found no solution last week among engineers, and as a re sult, one more student received an ex cuse from class. It seems that this student traveled more than twenty five hours in order to reach State College in time for classes. The trip tired him so much that lie went to bed before dinner. Since he couldn't set the alarm without its ringing two hours hder,•he left it go, lie was so tired that he slept through his eight o'clock. Under the new system of obtaining excuses, students are required first to see the dean of their school. This has eliminated much of the burden from Dean Warnock, but hasn't eliminated the usual crop of queer excuses. The Easter vacation was no exception to the rule. .• Dean Charles W. Stoddart, of the School of Liberal Arts found that car trouble was the principal reason for his students' absences.' He even went so far as to make notations of the various curs that were more suseept- College Grants Excuses To 11 O'clock Strikers The Council of Administration voted that students who desire to attend the peace meeting tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, be excused from 11 O'clock classes without penalty.

Players To Enact `Ah Wilderness' For Next Show Here May 8, 9 "Ah, Wilderness", the Broadway comedy hit of last season, written by Eugene O'Neill, which the Players will present Mother's Day week-end, May 8 and 9, reveals O'Neill in a new mood, in "an excursion into nostalgic comedy." Praised by critics, "All, Wilder ness!" is autobiographical, portraying in the diameter of Richard, the high school senior, much of the early life of Mr. O'Neill himself. "In Vih, Wilderness!' " George Jean Nathan writes, "O'Neill has written what seems to me to be as tenderly understanding a retrospective comedy, as deeply human and heart-filled and sadly happy a play as the modern stage has offered to us." The comment is made in the New York Journal that "For once O'Neill goes beyond penetrating his charac ters; here he loves them, with a nos talgic understanding of their faith and humanity." Eugene O'Neil is The only play wright to have three times received the Pulitzer Prize "for the original American play, performed in New York, which shall best represent the educational value and power of the stage." ible to break-downs. He found that Fords of vintages from 'Model 1' to VS were stricken with old age, blow outs, etc. An elderly Buick had no less than three cases of tire trouble. One car was no longer being manu factured, and when the break-down occurred, no parts could be obtained. One question in particular bothered Dean Stoddurt. Why do interviews for jobs come either before or after the vacations and nol during the va cation? Many students obtained excuses on the grounds that they had to work in a florist shop before Easter. The ex case was granted, because " fl orists must sell their flowers before Easter and not after." Among the more authentic reasons presented, there were many that were along the usual lines. One student had to address a meeting of future farmers.. Another had to see his sis. ter perform in a senior play at home. One had to attend the' opera in New York, while another had to attend a weddirig—not his own. Then there were the usual examinations to take, the various interviews about finances, scholarships, etc., and 'delayed bus and train service. alt Students To Hold Anti-War Demonstration Tomorrow At 11 O'clock; Code Outlined Penn State Chapter of ASU To Join 350,000 Other College Students When They Meet on Old Main Steps.
