The Original Passion Players
lIINEEIMI
DOMINIC LANDRO and John Aniston, as First Beard and Second
Beard. tell Oscar Jaffe about their passion play in the opening
performance of Players' "Twentieth Century." The Ben Hecht-
Charles MacArthur farce plays tonight and tomorrow night at
Schwab Auditorium. Tickets are on sale for $1 at the Student
Union desk in Old Main.
'2oth' Creeps to NY
As Sarachek Stars
The "Twentieth Century" streamliner left Schwab Auditorium
for New York last night with a passenger list of 22 Players. It was a
slow journey—in fact, the train almost broke down several times—
but after 2 1 / 2 hours it crept into Grand Central Station.
A small first-night audience didn't seem to mind, however,
and was right with the limited when it finally pulled in.
The local group's production of
the Ben Hecht-Charles MacAr
thur force, anticipated by many
because of the play's novelty and
potentialities—it has been suc-.
cessful both on Broadway and
in the movies is a disappoint
ment when compared to the high
caliber work of last year and the
current Center Stage production.
With the exception of Morris
Sarachek in particular, who does
a splendid job with the rich role
of producer Oscar Jaffe, and a
few other Players' standbys in
minor roles, the cast is marked
by just plain amateurism the
result of inexperience. This is
not to be sneered at, but rather
to be remedied, if possible, and
otherwise avoided
Sound, Lighting Effective
Young talent might better be
first tried out in Five O'clock
Theater or in a small role than
in the feminine lead, at the ex
pense of both the other actors
and playgoers.
The play is helped along by
good work on the part of the
sound and lighting crews, who
have produced unusual effects
to give a feeling of motion to the
"train." The set has been built
so that action going on simultan
eously in the three compartments
of car 186 may be seen from all
sides of the auditorium. Because
one compartment is usually spot
lighted the action is complemen
tary rather than confusing. Cos
tumes are also good.
Strange Characters Abound
The play itself, built around
comical situations, and incredu
lous characters, finds Jaffe badly
in need of a hit play, a star, and
money with which to produce• it.
The crafty producer manages
to get the compartment next to
his former mistress, successful ac
tress Lily Garland, but his ef-

Action Delayed
On New AIM
Review Board
The proposed Association of In
dependent Men Judicial Board of
Review, which received prelimi
nary approval by the AIM Board
of Governors Wednesday night,
must be passed as an amendment
to the AIM constitution and will
probably not be formed until
spring, William Shifflett, AIM
president, said yesterday.
It is expected that the proposal
will be discussed at the coming
meetings of the four AIM coun
cils and will be voted on at the
Board of Governors' meeting
Nov. 19. Two-thirds of the mem
ber councils must approve a con
stitutional amendment; that is, it
must be passed by three of the
four councils.
The board is. not expected to
be formed until after the election
of new AIM officers late in the
spring. It will take until the end
of this semester or the beginning
of the next until all details of the
Judicial Board's setup are com
pleted.
The first chairman of the Ju
dicial Board will be appointed by
the Board of Governors in the
spring ' according to present
plans. The remainder of the board
will consist of two members from
each of the member councils.

By MARSHALL 0. DONLEY
A proposal that could result in
a lengthened Thanksgiving vaca
tion and a shortened Christmas
vacation. for students was ap
proved by All-College Cabinet
last night.
Arthur Rosfeld, president of
Interfraternity Council, moved
that cabinet approve a proposal
which would add a day and one
half to the Thanksgiving vacation
—the Monday and Tuesday be
fore the vacation—and subtract
this time from the end of Christ=
mas vacation.
To Go Before Council
Rosfeld's proposal followed cab
inet's approval of a motion by
Jane Mason, Home Economics
Student Council president, that
classes on Nov. 22, the day of the
Pitt-Penn State football game, be
canceled if the football team wins
its next two games.
Both Miss Mason's motion and
Rosfeld's ask that cabinet recom
mend these actions to the Col
lege's Council of Administration.
As the College calendar now
stand s, Thanksgiving vacation
would begin at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday;
Nov. 25. Christmas vacation would
begin at 1:10 p.m. Saturday, Dec.
20 and end at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday,
Jan. 6.
ISCB Suggested Plan
The approved cabinet proposal
would subtract all-day. Monday
and Tuesday morning classes from
the beginning of Thanksgiving
vacation and add all-day Monday
and Tuesday morning classes at
the end of Christmas vacation.
The Council of Administration
will receive the motions in letter
from cabinet.
Miss Mason's motion resulted
from suggestions of the 'lnter
school Council Board, of which
she is a member.
Cabinet also approved a recom
mendation made by David Pell
nitz, president of the .13oard of
Publications, that a plan of joint
support for the College radio sta
tion be sought from student gov
ernment and the College. •
Indicated Split
- The recommendation included
the proposal that th l e President's
committee on the radio station be
asked to consider the joint sup
port plan and develop a method
of carrying it out.
Pellnitz indicated a one-third,
two-thirds split of the support
was probable, with the College
offering the larger amount.
The report of cabinet radio
committee, offered earlier on the
agenda by Chairman Emory Rich
ardson, showed this would mean
a cost of $2OOO to student govern
ment and $4OOO to the College
per annum.
