Saturday Morning, December 7, 1940 The Modest hte Someone; We are sure, is going to record for .Pos ihat ihe People who bought Artists' Course lot. If tickets are a limelight-shunning lot. If heceSsary; we will do it ourselves. , The Artists' Committee provided 130 choice ;eat,,, on the Stage in order to ihetease the capacity 'of the anditoi.iiirri. Whin the first two days of the . •;;ale were over it found to its chagrin there were 136 stage seats left. This; we believe; means that -i)o stage seats were sold. We Would alindst stake our mathematical reputation on it. . Just what are the reasons fOr this lack of desire to Sit Oh the stage we can not be sure. Fapulty 5,-.ives and coeds tit those-than-average attractive ness may have consideraiely desired not to ills trat the audience by Showing a pretty leg or a pretty W face so publicly. Those triaY ave shunned the public eye. The lack 6f ansr termediate, neither too pretty tii)r too disecktrag- Ing to sit on the stage, i'Voulci Have {)roved there is ; - 3.0 Stich thing as an average person. The males are harder to ex4n begin to under their Idok.§ and what anydne thinks or says about their loks and what anyone , thinks Or say's about PerhaPs they dreaded the disillusioning prospect of lOoking all evening , at a house , filled with their own kind; created as they were told iii the image of their i%4aker.

The Housint Plan Where is the Student Hciusing Board's plan for rooming house inspection approved "in principle" . it months ago by the Senate Cntrithittee_ Stu dent Welfare and accepted by the President but turned back to the Committee to be worked out in detail? The t3' , :stetn then sounded desirable and almost ISBssible. the Senate bain - ittee apparently tiiiinght it was, but everibiidy is apparently too biasy with other ihings to care much abont it.

LANE One of the finest Christmas presents Penn State could ever hope to receive was presented to lovers of the footlights in Schwab Auditorium last night when the Penn State Players jumped the Christmas gun by 20 days with a blue-ribbon performance of Le nore Coffee's and - William Cow% en's "Family Portrait." To compliment a production by saying it is dtherent would be following in the steps, of any pub licity man who is trying to fill a theater for a below-par produc tion, but this time a reviewer can label a play, "exceedingly differ ent." . One cannot go back into history and say Mrs. Lucetta kennedy gave the; best performance ever seen on a Penn State stage,. but even the most skeptical could not I efrainfrom saying it was one of the finest. Playing the part of Malt, the mother of Jesus; Mrs. kentledy was superb. It W6S the old story of any mother's Idire for hir son, but this time the son hgd hien. cruci fied. Ari actress is pften carried away by but ,iVnen she carries the ai.idiAice with her, there is risi. greater. th"Vdi•d. As the mother of -.l6.idg; IVlrs. Kennedy did just that. the skepticism of his four bitittieis who. could not conceive hiin as .ahythiug IS4 a — cdrpepter.

Joanne Palmer, as the easy-go ing Mary Cleophas, Mary's sister in-law, handled her cleVerly worded lines perfection. • . In the role of an outcast who was resurrected from sin, Aimee Sabbott was. well cast as Mary Magdalen. Because of the large cast of 42 players, one of the largest in his tory of the Players, space limits the bouquets, that can be tossed fer fine acting, but hcinbrable mention can be given to Civia Cohen, Elinor Herrman, Ruth Wachs; Marion ReynoldS, Mal colm WeinStein,,Jjahn Fritz; then di)re.
