At Middletown
Playing part of their perform
ance by candlelight because of the
blackout, Thespians gave the first
of their new Mobile Unit shows at
the Officers' Club at Middletown
Air Depot, near Harrisburg, Wed
nesday night.
A three-month contract was of
fered to the Three: Stooges—Jack
Hunter, BUd Mellot and Bill Reutti
—by the owner of Harrisburg's
"210 Club," but Mellot's and Hunt
er's impending induction into the
Army made it impossible for the
boys to accept.
The program was featured by
the Stooges, a dancing chorus of
six, Ray Fortunato's Varsity Quar
tet; and the Mobile-Unit band. .
The group was booked for a re
turn eng'agement at the Middle
town Officers' Club April 29.
Organized by Thespians last
winter to entertain at nearby serv
ice centers, the Mobile Units have
since then given shows at New
Cumberland and Indiantown Gap.
New Thespian members will be
inducted* Monday evening at a
meeting, where the leaders, will
also decide whether they will give
another performance of • "Khaki

Other . ways to stablize their

are 'to bring:. their 'tensions out

. The steadying effect of religion
is particillarlY important, Dr.

some perspective on their indi

Players' Show Wins Applause
After First Night in Schwab
By 808 KIMMEL
Strictly corn . . . but fresh
is "Love Rides the Rails or Will
the Mail Train Run Tonight?"
Players' presentation of this melo
drama last night laden with spe
cialty acts, some of which it is a
shame Thespians didn't discover
before last weekend, brought
down the house, in Schwab Audi
torium.
• Done strictly with the emphasis
on parody, the show is a reproduc
tion of the entertainment of days
I.3ng gone. The plot is pf the
old-fashioned variety, but with
the variation that the heroine
saves the hexo. Bob Herman, the
hero; Phyllis Rands, the heroine;
and William Emmons as villain
Simcn Darkway, are tops in their
burlesquing of the "nineties style."
Milton B. Dolinger almust stole
'he snow as the second' villain.
