PAGE TWO Players' Twentieth Century' Set on NY-Bound Streamliner What occurs on a streamliner bound for New York may be seen tomorrow night as Players climb aboard for the opening performance of ”Twentieth Century" in Schwab Auditorium. For three consecutive performances, the cast of 18 passengers and railroad employees will board the "Twentieth Century" train and enact the story of Lily Garland, Oscar Jaffe, Matthew Clark, and the others enroute to the city. The setting for the Ben Hecht- Charles MacArthur play is the inside of a train, with two com partments, art observation car, and part of the rear platform all on stage at once. At times during the play action will be concen trated in one of the set divisions, and at other times simultaneous action throughout the train will be evident. Actual Seats, Basins Used Constructed to resemble the in terior of a modern streamliner, the set was planned by Kelly Yeaton, director of the play, and Russel Whaley, designer. Following the small model built by Whaley, the construction crew built and paint ed sections of the set in the up stairs workshop, lowered them to the stage and erected the scenery there. Mesrop Kesdekian, techni cal director, directed the oper ation Actual coach seats and wash basins fr o m the Pennsylvania Railroad shops in Altoona are used in the compartments, but all other train-like features, such as sliding doors and corregated exterior, were fashioned by Play ers. Sound effects for the moving train have been planned in detail. The opening of a door is indi cated by increased sound of,roar ing wheels as well as by the action and dialogue of the actors. Light Intensity Shadows of trees and houses will pass the observation car win dows as the streamliner continues its journey. Hal Wells, light man ager, and his crew are responsible for the intensity of light which will direct the attention of the audience to the compartment or to the observation car. Tickets for the play are on sale at the Student Union desk in Old Main, priced at 60 cents for to morrow and $1 for Friday and Saturday nights. Tribunal Hears 21 Parking Violation Cases Tribunal heard 21 cases last night involving infractions, of campus parking regulations. Sev en $1 fines and one $1 suspended fine were levied. Thirteen cases were dismissed either with formal warning or because evidence was lacking. Two students placed on proba tion last week reported to the men's judiciary committee. One student's probation period was extended another three weeks be cause he loaned his car to a friend who incurred another violation. James Schulte, Tribunal chair man, dismissed two cases against graduate students. Tribunal tries only undergraduates and has no jurisdiction over faculty members or graduate students, Schulte said. Three students in the Nittany area were charged with parking on the grass when area 43 was filled. They were dismissed with a warning since they had permits for area 43. Schulte reported that wooden stakes now separate lawn areas from parking spaces. Students protested that they had to park in areas far from their classrooms and living quar ters while lots were vacant be cause students issued permits at the beginning of the semester no longer have cars on campus. Schulte asked all students who are not using their parking spaces to turn in their stickers for re distribution to needy students.
