"Foxes" Proves Powerful Play By LEON RABINOWITZ and BARNEY WEINBERG "Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth," says Ben Hubbard in "The Little Foxes." Which is as good a' way of any to say that most of the appeal of the Players' latest production comes from Lillian Hellman's powerful script rather than any contribu tion of the campus cast. In a play which demanded. in tense characterization, apparently beyond the experience of most of the characters, the high spot in Schwab Auditorium last night came when the audience broke in to spontaneous applause follow ing Janet Dayton's fine portrayal of a thwarted woman getting drunk.

Thespians Second Mobile Unit Plays New Cumberland Tonight Dating Bureau Opens Today. For V-Weekend In conjunction with the Victory Weekend program, the.

The re viewing stand will be at the main actress maintaining a sustained chaumeterization throughout the show. The subtle and difficult role . of Regina, villainess of the piece, was just not meant for Caroline Cox, as much as we would like io agree with Director Lawrence Tucker. Miss Cox took command of the auditorium . with a voice that reminded ,us of English music hall queen Gracie Fields, shoot ing her lines in sporadic bursts, now a single-shot BB gun, now a rapid-fire machine gun. Occa sionally- she seemed a tired Hal lowe'en witch rather than the Southern beauty of, the role. Working hard, to the point of overplaying', the rest of the cast fared little better with Hellman's lines. Edmund Van Deusen's OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 29, STATE COLLEGE, PA. With. two performances sche duled for their Victory Weekend show, the Thespians take on an extra job tonight when their sec ond mobile unit show of the se mester takes place at New Cum berland induction center. Tonight's performance will in clude parts of the weekend show with Leon Rabinowitz as master of ceremonies in . both cases. A reviVaL•pf . ."The:•Three::..S,tooges.," an act favored by• Thespian .audi, ences here several years ago, will be the feature of the revue bah tonight and on the weekend: The new stooges are Edward R. Clauss '43 and Kevert V. Mellott and Jack D. Hunter, - both '44. Their act will be modeled after the old one with several varia tions. . A chorus 'made up of Mellott, Mildred • Johnson '44, Doris M. Disney '43, Miriam L. Zartman '45, and Betty' J. Lyman '45 will give the show its rhythm and gla mour. Furnishing blues, some of her own composition, will be Jane Abramson. Mike Kern and Miriam L. Rhein '43 are added features rounding out the mobile show. Music will be furnished by a band organized and directed by George P. Washko '45 and made up of Leonard P. Dileanis '45, Leonard S. Singer '44, Franklin P. Birch ard '45, and Raymond T. For tunato '45. - A featured part of the revue will be the College glee club, ap pearing for the first time this se mester. They are under the di rection .of Prof. Frank Gullo. playing of Oscar Hubbard brought a ripple of laughter as he sudden ly turned the 'sadistic weakling in to a likenesi of Rudolph Ressen dale at the first act curtain. John Miller and Milt Dolinger get a re gretful "adequate," Dolinger far getting to build to his changes of mood, Miller for surface charac terization. Technically the set was well done, especially the use of an up stage breakfast room; the make up 'artists bore too heavily on age lines of male actors; the lighting was untisual. Despite the above, this play is powerful and good. The cast worked hard on a difficult show. Some plays require nothing short of professional treatment; this is one of them.

The plan, to be returned to Cabinet by a committee made up of presidents of the school student councils after a meeting tomor row, will make more uniform the varied systems now in use in the separate schools. The proposal, introduced in the meeting by the Student-Faculty Relations Committee through Dr. Chesliegh A. Bonine, arose from a survey conducted by that body to members of the freshman class early next week, according to Wil liam S. Hoffman, registrar. The photo-cards, originally or dered to counteract a wave of "matric card loaning" for en trance in barrooms, have been re ceived by the Registrar's office, and may be exchanged for the old ones starting Monday morning. "Eventually," stated Hoffman, "we hope to be able to issue these cards to all students, as they make for better identification at final exams, registration, and other places where identification is needed." Illustrated with a picture of the student, containing his birth date on the photo, the cards also con tain a small print of Old Main tower.
