PAGE SIX Players 'Melodrama' Scores Box Office Hit By Mac White In the theatre, as in cigarette advertising, it's hard to argue with success. Players' production of the tem perance "drama" "Ten Nights in a Barroom" at Center Stage is an assured success. The cash cus tomers, entering into he spirit of the occasion with group singing, 'iisses for the villain, and cheers 'or temper ance declamations, ved it. Let it he understood at the out et that Mr. Reifsneider's direc ion was intended to convince no me of the dramatic merits of the adaptation of the Arthur novel. although the actors played their melodrama straight. it was de igned for laughs, not tears or moral regeneration, and laughs t produces. One might question the advis ')ility of tying up Players' cen •ral staging facilities with so trivial a work; one suspects that übsequent performances will rain in polish and stage presence; lne might even point out that 'he specialty acts presented be tween acts and following the - how were chiefly responsible for its enthusiastic reception. But ror an entertaining evening, none -tan deny that Mr. Reifsneider, -'t al, have so hoaked up a dod lering vehicle that it will ring "ue at the box office. Hank Glass, as usual. stole the how, this time with a presum lbly minor part as the tippler lwitchel. Glass is Glass, whether 'le is M.C., lead, or comic relief. ' , ut in this instance, the same ness was highly acceptable. Joe Green, as the Southern vil lin, exhibited one of the few thoroughly -drawn characters ',resent, and Jean Bickerton ful `flied the charming promise as a -omedienne which she presaged 3ridge Club Seeks Players A chance to participate in the National Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament in Chicago was the 'tlurn held up to Penn State bridge playing enthusiasts yesterday by Robert Tobias, president of the Men's Bridge Club. Urging all bridge players to "desert their regular foursomes," Tobias called upon interested men to attend the Club's meetings in he PUB at 7 p.m. tonight and every Tuesday. He explained: "Besides the national tourney 'n the Spring, we will also have an all-College tournament. Since 11 tournaments use duplicate )ridge exclusively, the Club de votes its time to playing duplicate instead of rubber bridge. "This enables our players to better understand the game, By playing duplicate, their all-around game is improved because of the diversity of opponents." The successful pair of Bridge Club members in local competi tion participates in a district col legiate tourney, which leads to the national event in Chicago. Two players from each district are sent annually to the latter tournament expense-free. Professors Present Scientific Papers Two wipers by members of the Watson Project staff of the de partment of electrical engineer a' the College, under the &rec . :- :ion of Dr. Eric A.

Dan Wargo and Julie Williams maintained the proper degree of intensity as the drunkard and his wife, the former's delirium tre mens within three feet of the au-' dience being a particularly diffi cult bit of acting well done. Doran Lee. as the temperance philosopher, Nat Feinstein as the example of the power of drink over youth, and Muriel Gross man, as the innkeeper's wife, were adequate if not distin guished, and Dick Lashley gave a bit of life to his portrayal of the squire's son, a performance promising much for more de manding roles: Ruth MaKibbin, as the drunk ard's daughter, was well cast for type, but probably the least con vincing actor, particularly in her death scene. The purposely corny Caryl Jungman, the always-breathless Mary Fisher. and a surprisingly well-voiced Ted Mann contrib uted songs to the added enter tainment, while the dance teams of Kondourajian and Manes, and Woolever and Eisenhuth per formed creditably, indeed. The highly-publicized can-can danc ers were unusually well cos tumed, if somewhat restrained, and good-looking enough to give a Thespian line the edge.

"You ' don't get me in no saw mill," was Macy's reply, according to Cooper. A few more heated words, said Cooper, and Macy started toward his door, saying, "I've got something in the house that'll move you fellows off." "Thats when I shot him," ex plains Coper. There was no gun on Private Snipe's body but there was $4O in his pocket and all the members of the Snipes family had through the years built up a repu tation for paying their debts. "Justifiable killing in self-de fense." was the verdict. Well, what price a monument for Private Macy Yost Snipes now?

A subcommittee assigned to probe the matter found that the Pollock Union building, formerly the dining commons, has good facilities for recreation. The re port said that students who do not use the PUB still approve of it, since it permits activity which would be "distracting" in the dorms. Administrative officials con tacted by the subcommittee felt that reopening of the commons would be impossible because of the cost involved. The committee recommended no action.
