Successor To The Free Lance, Established 139 t _ pH Saily @ (Erileguut ]H "Khaki-Waac-y" Packs Schwab By 808 KIMMEL “Khaki-Waac-y” has its moments tout on the whole it is not up to the usual par of some of the Thes pian shows that we have been ac customed to in the past. Not to dwell on the slips and miscues and such, and there were lots of them, here are some of the brighter spots. One of the best in the first act was' Jane Abramson’s number, “The Feeling I Have For You.” It is too bad that Mrs. Abramson was not given a more prominent part in the- vocal numbers, for she has that is. easy to listen to, and, is. much more appealing than the off-key harmony so frequently used. The Three Stooges came through -■with some new and .original ma terial that drew much applause; College Gears Summer Session To Fit War Plans With emphasis upon such courses as pre-flight aeronautics, pre service training, the High School Victory Corps program, and the psychology of military leadership, the College will gear its coming summer session program to fit es sential wartime projects.

V'Wernham, assistant professor oi botany, were named members ol , the executive committee. Although the numbers had to be dragged into the general plot, they were good and are worth seeing. Jackie Hunter with his dead-pan stare is good for laughs most any time, and his two accomplices, Mellott and Reutti, did very well. Music for the show, all original, sounded exceptionally good, and was much better than other pro ductions have boasted. Aside from the new and better Stooge num bers, the hits of the show were songs by the SEX quartet, the fin ale, “The Melting Pot,” and “The Feeling I Have For You.” The show doesn’t bother too much about a plot but is rather a series of scenes that are slightly connected by the antics of the Three Stooges, their girl friends, three WAACS, and three senior Glee Club To Present Final Concert Of Spring Series Quartet To Sing Selected Numbers Penn Staters will round out the last of the “big ones” tomorrow afternoon by attending a concert presented by the Men’s Glee Club in Schwab auditorium at 3:30 o’clock.

Will the Mail Train Run Tonight,.” melodrama, -will be presented -by Players in Schwab Auditorium, April 15, 16 and 17 according to Lawrence E. Tucker, dramatics in structor and director of the show. By popular demand, Players have agreed to give the production an other evening. The cast, which -has been work ing diligently, is capable of. de picting this allegory whioh brings to" light the “truth will conquer evil” theme in which the heroine and hero struggle to outwit cun ning villains. Acting in the production is dif ficult because it is extremely styl ized and of the period. This very exaggerated acting is climaxed when the players literally “freeze” in each scene. The villainess, Carlotta Cortez played by Janet Dayton has a strong influence over hero, Bob Herrman, and as the'first act pro ceeds, he falls heir to the shrewd plan to make him lose his chance foi** general .managership of the railroad and Pnidence Hopewell’s hand in marriage.

Included in the cast are Dan, the bartender, Doug Peck; Fred Wheel right, the honest engineer, Harold Chidnoft and Buelah Belle, the daricehall hostess, Anna Radle. Suspense in the play is quite evident. In one scene a screeching train whistle has the audience wondering whether or riot the hero will live.
