Two weeks ago the Phi jfappa

One of the students working in the
kitchen could play the piano, had
studied for ten years, and liked
nothing better -in his spare' time

at the- other houses, liked music,
liked to dance, and therein lies

mentary series sponsored each

Players Present
Typical Drama
A little descriptive gem on the
Players’ program for “Love Rides
the Rails or Will the Mail Train
Run Tonight?” is a clear-cut pic
ture-of the'melodrama. Tt is said
lliht the show is reputedly a “sem
sational,. seething, simmering, sen
timental, sincere, sympathetic,
sparkling, soul-stirring, stupen
dous, stunning spectacle.”
The whole program is written
in the olci-style method of the turn
of the century. Little. tidbits such
as “be kind to the matronly madam
beside you—she may be some
body’s mother” and “‘please do not
ask for telephone numbers of the
Can-Can Chorus—-there’s a 50-51
chance -you'd get them,” are typir
cal of clever little quips included
on the “programme:"
- Such veteran Players as-Marian
Dougherty, Phyllis Rands, Wil
liam Emmons, Robert Herrman,
Raymond Boyle, Milton-Dolinger,
Janet Dayton, Betty Friedman,
Harold Chidnoff, Anna Radle,
Douglas Peck, and Richard Heim
are the dramatis personae directed
| by Lawrence E; Tucker.
Specialty acts including such
songs as “All That' Glitters Is Not.
Gold,” “My Mother. Was a Lady,”
and “Kissing on the Sly” will also
add to the atmosphere, which
promises to be pungent with melo
drama.
