No Kick Coming' Parodies L&hor, Promotes SO
Student Union will ibe the theme of the Thespian musical comedy,
“No Kick Coming,” which opens tonight and tomorrow night in
Schwab auditorium. The curtain will go up promptly tt 7 o’clock,
according to Bud Mellott, Thespian production manager.
Tickets lor standing room for both performances will be sold at
the box office tonight at the original price. One hundred fifty of
these tickets will be available for each night.
(Souvenir programs, containing articles and pictures of the pro
duction are on sale at Student
Union and will be sold in Schwab
auditorium.
“No Kick Coming” is partially
a parody of the current labor and
management problem, partly a
boost (for Student Union, and
partly music, songs and dancing.
'According to Dick Frontman,
dialogue director and co-author of
the book, the plot goes something
like this. Lewis L. Johns, ployed
by Herb Rossman, in order to get
the best of his enemy, U. S. Teel
(Pdte Johnson), sends his son,
John J. Johns (iMarty Baum) to
Penn State with his three hench
men, played by the Three Stooges,
Jim Mitchell, Chuck -Pfleegor,
and Bud Mellot. They have or
ders to get Teel’s daughter, Una
(Betsy Heagy) to fall in love
with John. While at State, John
gets mixed up in the Student
Union controversy because he
confuses 'the Student Union idea
wi'th a labor union. When he tries
to take over he is opposed by the
college crowd consisting of Jim
Mulholland, Portman Paget, Adele
Yablon, Jack Caihoon and Bill
McTurk. George Don , Juan, the
president of Student’ UrJon is

iHere ’tis gals and guys! Watch

erstition takes precedence.
Although the law of averages
calls for the 13th of the month to
fall on a Friday but once in ev
ery seven months, today is the
second “evil day” we have had in
three months. September 13 also
fell on a Friday.
(Perhaps the best way to avoid
all the trouble that nfay befall
you on this day is just roll over in
bed and go back to sleep. But if
you did that you would not be
able to read and enjoy your Daily

your chances. But remember the
