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

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.
