"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

terial that drew much applause;

. Mason Long, professor of Eng-
• liah literature, and Clitfford C.
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

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

lis Rands and Mrs. Hopewell, Mar
ion Dougherty, become involved
in the plans of the villains, Bill
Emmons and Milton Dolinger, who
reveal their cruel thoughts to the
audience in sneering “side re
marks.”
Public opinion is swayed against
the hero, Truman Pendennis; how
ever, Harold Standfast, his friend,
as played by Raymond Boyle, ov
erhears their scheming and dra
matically saves the day.
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.

among the railroad men and an
other between the villain, Dirk
Sheath and Fifi, the maid, por
trayed by Betty Freedman.
