Inexperienced Cast Sparkles In Three Men on a Horse By Mac White “Three Men on a Horse” may not be great litera ture, but it certainly is top-drawer comedy. Penn State Players, in their revival production which opened Thursday night, gave it the once over- with a largely neophyte cast and came up with a show that drew assorted titters, chuckles, guf faws, and downright abdominal laughs from an unusually large and appreciative opening-nighl audience. Hank Glass, Thespian luminary, Talent Show comae, Sheepskin Serenade emcee, and campus en tertainment bon vivant, carried the burden of the fun-making with style and finesse, in his first lead ing role for Players. His entrance picked up a slow curtain scene before his first on-stage line, his tread was that comical. As might be expected from a oast in the main inexperienced, the show lacked some of the fine edge of pace and timing that farce requires, a fault that doubtless will have been ameliorated in subse quent performances. It bega n with a sparkle, sag ged a bit in the middle, and ended in the captivat ing flourish of hilarious activity typical of its ilk. Almost always there was someone to pick up the pace after occasional let-downs, fluffed lines, slow cues, or laugh-masked dialogue. Credit for repeat edly injecting the show with vitality was shared by Glass with several others, notably Jean Bickerton Windcresl Wife Averts Tragedy A mother’s foresight saved her 12-week-old son from possible death yesterday morning when the family’s trailer home was badly damaged by an oil burner explosion. The trailer belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dudley, 315 Wind crest. Mrs. Dudley had taken her son to a neighboring trailer as soon as she noticed that the oil space heater was not functioning properly. The trailer’s contents destroyed or damaged by the fire are cov ered by insurance. Mrs. Dudley reported. College officials are seeking living quarters for the family. Three engines of the Alpha Fire Company answered the alarm turned in by Mrs. Dudley. Seniors Vole On $5OO Class Fund Seniors will vote individually on setting aside $5OO as a perma nent senior class fund designed to assure them voting power in electing College Trustees, Ed ward Banyai, class president, said yesterday. The sum would be set aside from the class gift tc keep intact the addresses of members of the class of ’4B. All class members would then receive printed bal lots enabling them to influence election of the nine trustees chosen by the Alumni Associa tion. Two changes in commence ment arrangements were made at Thursday’s class meeting. Gradu ation exercises scheduled for June 7 on New Beaver Field will begin at 2 p.m. rather than in the morning as previously. The class also voted to have di plomas given out by schools in stead of individually. This will shorten commencement exercises by 80 minutes, according to Ban yai. As Mabel, ex-follies cutie and girl friend of Patsde, ringleader of the “three men,” she scored a definite hit. Always tops in her bandinage with Glass, she lent a vocal distinction and a stage presence to her first Players performance that was a major factor in making the production a rollicking success. Robert Benson, as the shrewd but adventurous Patsie, showed much promise in his first-acrt scene with Mabel, rendering a facial reaction that drown ed her harangue in laughter. It was a peak he never reached subsequently. Aaron Osipow and Buzz Fuhringer, as Frankie and Charlie, the rest of the titled trio, both turned in creditable performances. Osipow’s lines were sometimes lost on the audience, but he was so in herently comical as to make them forget it. His climbing onto a bar stool was as good as any line in the play. Fahringer’s characterization was swift and sure, and his acting perhaps technically the best in the casf. Herb Rossman’s antias as the apoplectic Mr. Car ver added mosf satisfactorily to the confusion of the final moments. Overdrawn of necessity, his characterization would doubtless have been more convincing had the show’s pitch been higher at his entrance.
