Players-

judged factor. Such is not. the case
here.
The plays selected to be shown
on this campus are, but for few
exceptions, fine plays. They are
tested, tried, and usually have
enjoyed startling successes in the
world of the theatre. There never
is the problem of the material
letting the actors down, or making
them look bad. The material can’t
miss. The problem is of the act
ing letting the script down.
“Papa Is All” is a fine play. It
has cracking good dialogue, fun
ny situations, suspense, and even
a message. Players’ production
of “Papa Is All” was entertaining.
It was worth while going to see.
The entertainment, however, did
not come from the manner in
which it was presented and acted,
but from the inherant dramatic
and comedy qualities of the play
itself.
This is not to say the acting
was uniformly bad, that-all the
actors muddled through the show.
Two members of the cast gave
performances that were very good
for the college stage, the rest not
nearly as good.
Verna Sevas t was excellent in
the supporting role of Mrs. Yo
der. In timing, speech manner
isms, and action on the stage she
worked the last bit of comedy
from her part and easily stole the
scenes she appeared in.
Playing the part of Mama with
restraint and a deep sense of the
Pennsylvania Dutch speech, Sar
ah Von Nieda gave a fine per
formance. She and Miss Sevast
were primarily responsible for
holding the play together.
Not much can be said against
A/S Robert Stabley’s character
ization. He played the part of the
tor.pred Jake with obvious sin
cerity and effort. He was too in
experienced and too awkward on
the stage to do the part in the
manner it deserved.
Papa was portrayed poorly by
Gerald Gilman. He consistently
shouted his lines at the top of
his lungs and consequently most
of what he said could not be un
derstood. Those lilies (jhat did
come through were definitely not
iii a Pennsylvania Dutch dialect.
Mary 'Haines was inadequate as
Emma. She overacted badly, and
was too dramatic and tragic
throughout the Play. A/S Mathias
Szeyller was satisfactory as' State
Policeman Brendle.
iThe scene design and costumes
supervision by Mrs. Dorothy B.
Scott and the technical supervis
ion by Grace O. Clayton were, as
usual,'good.
IWA Organizes-
(Continued from page six)
the initial council, and as other
students complete .four consecu
tive weeks of attendance at the
meetings, their names are added
to the council lists.
During the Spring Semester
IWA acquired as its new head

cil meets here alternate Mondays

men, an annual banquet, and an
annual picnic, the latter a joint
one with members of IMA, Mem
bers receive keys after completing
at least one semester of active
service. At present the organiza
tion is busy planning its fortune
telling concession .for the Old
Main Open House tomorrow.
