All,” in Schwab Auditorium Sep
tember 29 and 30, Prof. Frank

announced today.-
“The’story of the play,” Profes

Mennonite family made up of Papa
and. Mama and their children, Jake
and Emma. Papa is a very mean
man. He is not mean because he
is a Mennonite, he would 1 be mean
no matter what he was because
he is a stinker.
“The title of the play, ‘Papa Is
All,’ means, in the Pennsylvania
Dutch dialect, that Papa is gone,
done for, or finished. How the
domineering 'Papa is disposed of
gives the play its struggle.
“Since live on the edge of
the Pennsylvania Dutch disti-ict

that comes from this region and
knows the dialect. To present a
play such as this, to an audience
which is largely composed of -per
