PAGE FOURTEEN ’Mary' Pleases Critic — Continued from page one “John,” displayed some lack of confidence and some need for a little further study of his lines. With the opening night rough spots worked off, the co-person ality of the title should assume a somewhat more dominant part in the story. Aside from these points, the analysis can be noth ing but favorable. The first nighters were not vis ibly disappointed in the per formance of Sid Manes in the role of “Fred Taylor.” His fac ulty for injecting witty, and pleasingly untimely remarks was exploited to good advantage and his role was instrumental in making the “comedy” half of the “romantic comedy” classification a reality. Mary Alice Hodgson found sure footing and smooth going in her portrayal of “Lily Herbish,” the flighty and. to say the least, pas sionate English war bride. As the “problem child” of the story, she made the problem delightful for the audience, though quite com plicated for the rest of the cast. The remainder of the cast, Dan Wargo as “Oscar Dugan,” Rita Lang as “Mrs. McKinley,” Tony Bowman as the dramatic “Lt. Victor O’Leary,” Robert Stryker as "George Beechwood,” and Mesrop Kesdekian as “Harwood Biddle,” were good in their sup porting roles, with Kesdekian v'dl cast as a somewhat confused 'lf safety records were news.*.. If safety were spectacular, it would be front-page news that Bill Jones and other telephone men drive 55,000 vehicles more than a million miles a day—with one o) the nation’s lowest accident rates. Today, for example, Bill will drive a 10, of miles. He’ll guide his familiar green telephone truck through the heavy traffic of shopping centers, he’ll go along quiet streets where children play, he’ll travel lanes and highways at the edge of town. And every mile, every turn, wtH always representative of the “most effi cient organization in the world” —the army. Make-Up Room for improvement could be found in the make-up depart ment. A bit less accentuation was needed on the face of the senator and the grey in “Oscar Dugan’s” hair might have been distributed more for purposes of realism—or at least that was the comment among those “smoking in the outer lobby.” Costuming, although probably not too great a problem considering that the story is contemporary, was well handled with attention drawn to the proper places. No fault could be found with the lighting and the excellent painting done on the sets was well brought out. As to the story itself, the home coming soldier was faced with a problem somewhat different from the neuroses and psychoses usu ally associated with rehabilita tion in post war homecoming stories. “John” flies into the waiting arms of “Mary” after three years overseas in gratify ingly good mental condition. As a favor to his buddy “Fred,” however, he has married (un known to all but “Fred”) an Eng lish girl, with whom “Fred” is supposedly in love, as the only means of getting her into this country. The news comes as more of a surprise to “Fred” than was eyvrcl"d. T-Jo. much to the dis- be driven steadily and carefully* You see. Bill and the telephone company consider good driving as much a part of his job as installing a telephone. The truck which Bill drives is checked and serviced regularly, so it’s always safety-perfect. And Bill gets a lot of training in safety —training that covers all phases of his work. Bill has helped put together one of the best safety records in the country. It’e a record we're prood of—and so is BHI. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Harried Prof Victim Of Architects' Revenge Crash! The roar of an explo sion shattered the stillness of an Art 74 class, causing dire thoughts of assassination to flash through the mind of Paul F. Norton, as sistant professor of fine arts. Because he had just finished handing batik blue books was no reason to blow up the place, was it? After the class had reasonably settled its collective nerves and Professor Norton had assured himself that he was still in one piece, he proceeded to review the situation. It turned out that he had given a test to a class of architects that morning, and this was their re venge. They had placed some exploding paper caps on the bot tom of the pointer that Profes sor used to signal for change of slides. When he tapped the point er on the floor—’nough said! Moral: Never give tests to architects (especially Art 74 tests) and fail to examine the scene for possible interesting after-effects may of “John,” has already mar ried and is expecting the patter of little feet. All things considered, yours truly can predict nothing but en joyment for those who journey to Schwab tonight and tomorrow night for the Robert Everett Ken rlall directed “John Loves Mary.” 24 Students To Attend ROTC Summer Camps Twenty-four Penn State stu dents will attend ROTC camps this summer, according to Col.
