the State College audince Friday
night when Players' presented
"Skylark" at the State College
Hotel.
A.
. system of staging in which
the; audience is seated on all four
sides of the play—much as spec
tators are ,seated at- a football
game—t h e are n a productirm
seemed to create a feeling of inti
• 'nary and warmth that some of
the. unore recent productions in
Schwab have lacked.
The . effect created, is one in
which the' person in the audience
feels almost as if he were, on the
stage with the actors. As a mat
ter of fact, this is pracically true,
sirice the first row of seats is only
a foot or two from the actual
acting arena.
It •i s • difficult to analyze the
arena style of - production 'merely
on the strength of the show. Cer
-tainly the "sitting. in the parlor"
effect is a desirable asset.
The fact that the actors can
use their natural voices is also
an 'advantage. On the debit side

ability to create emphasis---con

X-Gl Club
Reorganizes
X-GI Clulb members and other
former members of the services
are urged t o attend the first n.eet
ing--this semester of the X-04
'Club in 121 Sparks at 7 p. m. to
day, Eugene Fulmer, club presi
dent, said.
Fulmer said the meeting would
be largely reorganizational and
Would also deal with plans for
r•e nting Woodman's Hall for
dances over a
_trial period. If the
plan is a success, the hall will be
rented for a year, he explained.
Plans will be made to conduct
an Easter egg roll for the children
of married veterans_ and. the.'cllib'
a , 'Stand on - the current
racial discrimination discussions
on campus.
Fulmer pointed out that the
club would need the wholehearted
support of student members in
order to back its many ventures.
In addition to movies, the club
began surveys on rent rates
which culminated in the OPA set
tling rates in State. College. It also
began the Student Union Commit
tee later taken over by Council.
The , club was organized when
veterans first returned to the
campus. Since that time it • has
gro'wn into a large organization
representing veteran and student
opinion on campus.

Hotel at noon tomorrow.
Skylark
discernible as they would the on
the conventional stage.
.Befor, 4 our criticism can mean
anything, the new style must be
seen again, with another type of
play. It can be said that "Skylark"
was helped by the , novel presen
tation.
The show will probably prove
to be, well received and well at
tended. Thp Script itself is a trite
bit of trivia which nevertheless
has itc amusing moments. •
Most of the duller moments
'hate been covered by som e slick
directing.
Rad the show, been staged in a
traditional manner, there would
probably have been more "belly
laughs", but also fewer chuckles.
Theatregoers enjoy their ehtiokles
a s much as their laughs.
Technically the show had' almost
no flaws: When the, stage lights
first came up, and I saw the au
dience 'across from -me just as
clearly as I saw the actors on the
stage, I was distuilied. But my
disturbance soon subsided and the
peering face bothered me only
sporadically. All the stage props
passed the test of 'close-up sur
veillance and remained authentic
throughout. Even the. pictures in
the family album seemed real.

Nature Helps lofstein
When Science Falters;
Watch in Good Condition
Herman Lotstein and his wrist
watch have been reunited.
As previously reported, Lot
stein had given up almost all
hope of ever seeing his Bulova
again. The failure of modern sci
ence had discouraged him.
Over the past weekend some
thing resemlbling a spring thaw
came to State College, and en
abled Mr. John C. Ocker, on
whose property the watch was
lost, to succeed where science
could not.
Engaged in sweeping his porch,
Mr. Ooker, 322 S. Allen street,
happened to glance at his lawn
from which the snow had melted.
There, where the . mine sweeper
had serched in vain, was Herman
Lotstein's wristwatch.
Mr. Ocker notified Lotstein im
mediately, and when questioned
Lotstein said the watch was keep
ing 'perfect tine. ,
