Successor To The Free Lance, Established 1887 THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 7, STATE COLLEGE, PA, P : '■ ; 4s Murder Pleasant In Players' Show “It isn’t the crimes, but the peo ple you meet that make the show,” is the way Collegian critic Goes T. Ryder reviewed the Players’ last performance of the hilarious mur der comedy, “Mr. and Mrs. North;” and if you saw the play, you’d un destand why. Brought back by popular de mand as the Commencement show, “The Norths” feature a zany play wright Jerry and his zanier wife Pam who get in hot water with the police when they are accused of harboring corpses in their Greenwich Village apartment. ■ Not to be outdone by the crack ed couple, "who incidentally are played by Don Taylor ’42 and Sis Herrman ’42, is the owner of the house, Buono, who revels in the notoriety the murders are giving his place. Add to this five other suspects, all of whom could have done the dastardly deeds, and you have—a moider mystery. Spice all this with a fuller brush man, a postman, with a longing for beer, and cops, and you have what Ryder says is a “pleasant offering of murder.” Ad Honorary Initiates New initiates of Alpha Delta Sigma, national professional ad vertising fraternity, include Rich ard A. Beker ’43, George J. Cohen ’44, Frank M. Feinberg '43, Rich ard E. Marsh ’44, Philip P. Mitch ell ’44, Donald H. Ratchford ’43, and Curtis C. Stone ’44.
