PRICE THREE CENTS Cabinet Gets Taken For Ride In Thespians' 'Kurlew Kapers' By CASSIUS A hit in spite of all the malchin ations of the 'Cabinet-Curfew crowd who limited their rehear sal time to the 8:30 deadline, Thespians' "Kurfew Kapers" went over last night in Schwab Audi torium to the tune of a packed house of exuberant spectators. A hit for no other reason than that every act was performed with zest and enthusiasm and that the audience was in • such a receptive mood they even laughed., at the time-worn gags that have seen duty with prac tically -e very show done by the Thespians. r `We need more time for the show," was the plea of the Thes pian representa tive, in the skit satirizing t h e Curfew regula tors, and it held true for the entire revue. With more polish the Thespians. could have had a show that would rival any out on by the original Stooges in their, heydoy.. , • • •butstanding laUgh-makers -were the Three Stooges, Clauss, Hunter, and Melott, whose antics and "bor rowed" songs several times had the howling audience in the throes of hysteria. Their parody on "Der Fuehrer's Face," is worth the en tire price of admission. Bill Cis se's costuming was way above RH CHELKO 42 08 WEST LH BUTTON 16 average; and the chorus did credit to Bud Melott's teaching. Asa whole the revue was very loosely tied together, but some of the individual acts were excellent. Adele Yoblin's warbling of the hit tune from "Pins and Needles" as sured the Thespians of a find to replace Marce Stringer. And Jane Abramson—the only reason we want to be a college professor— just about set the house on fire with' torchy singing of her own ballad "Stubborn." To Ed Coles, comedian-imitator, another prospect is in sight to step into "Rubber-face" Clauss' shoes when he graduates soon. Katey Popp, she of the poker face, re peated her hit imitations of the Summer Thespian Revue. Space doesn't permit us to cast laurels at other top performers, so to get the complete picture, we advise you to take in the final performance of "Kurfew Kapers," in Schwab Auditorium at 7 p. m. tonight. A really swell show, con sidering the difficulties of produc tion, Thespians is worth your money.

Whether the Nittany Lion foot ball team is to place a mediocre record on the books or enjoy one of the most successful seasons in Penn State history will be decided on New Beaver Field this after non when the Higgins coached squad takes on the Pitt Panthers. Rr)ted as pre-game favorites— a position that Lion followers should ill appreciate when one re calls the 1940 debacle—the Blue and White squad is at full strength for the tilt. Only the condition of Sparky Brown, star of the Syracuse game, is doubtful. Injured after 12 min utes of play last week against Penn, Brown has been present at two practice sessions this week, but confined his activities to on looking. Were the Lions to emerge vic tors today, the chances of a post season bowl bid is not unlikely, notwithstanding the West Virginia thrashing. But from the Pitt tamp came ru mors of an all-out effort this week on the part of the Bowser coached team. Pitt needs one more victory —and one over the high-riding Lion team would be most welcome —to give its season a flavor of "average." The four time beaten Panther invaders, likewise will be at top strength today with the return of five veterans handicapped in re cent games with injuries. George Allshouse, center; Jack Stetler and Tony DiMatteo at halfbacks; Wal ter West, quarterback; and Bill Kyle, right end, are again ready for service, although it is doubt ful if any except West and Kyle start.
