The musical comedy by Jerome Kern will play four performances during IFC Weekend. Tickets are on sale at $1 for Thursday and $1.25 for Friday and Saturday matinee (2 p.m.) and evening performances. "Roberta" has delighted audi ences along the Great White Way and the Citronella Circuit for two decades. Jerome Kern collabor ated with Otto Harbach, who wrote the lyrics and the book, following his success with "Music in the Air" and "Shovik Boat." Philadelphia critics sneered at the attempt at light musical corn edy; but "Roberta" limped into the New Amsterdam theater and bravely faced Broadway on Nov. 18, 1933. Although the New York auditors were also little impressed at the book, they liked Kern's tunes, and soon all New York was humming "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." . _ College to Hold Pan American Observances Flags of 21 American nations will be raised at 11:50 a.m. today to mark the beginning of Pan American Day observances at the College.

By CHIZ MATHLAS Despite the critics' malpredic tions, audiences liked "Roberta" and the play ran for 254 perform ances before summer heat and the end of the theatrical season drove the company out of its New York I show house. In 1933 Broadway was still dimmed by a theatrical "hang over" left by the depression, and one reviewer wrote after an eye ful of the dolor and extravagence of the gowns by Kiviette in the fashion show number, "'Roberta' dismisses the audience with a feeling that prosperity has turned', the corner and is half-way down the luxurious home-stretch!" Whittled from the novel, "Gowns by Roberta" by Alice Duer Mil ler, the musical centers around an American football hero who inherits a Paris tailor salon from an aunt. He goes to, France to run the clothing enterprise and falls in love with both- an expatriated Russian princess and her alluring female manager.

APRIL 17 Center Stage Oliver to Advocate Korean Peace Drive In his address to a forutn sponsored by the International Rela tions Club at 8 tonight in 10 Sparks, Dr. Robert T. Oliver, head of the Speech department, will urge that the United States drive ahead for a military victory in Korea. Dr. Oliver will discuss the topic "Solution in Korea" with Dr. Charming Liem, chairman of the Political Science department at the Pennsylvania College for Wo men in Pittsburgh and specialist on Korean affairs. Dr. Oliver will also address a meeting of the I American Legion post in Pleasant Gap on Friday evening at a cere mony to honor veterans of the Korean War. The public is invited to hear both of his talks. A reporter was able to catch him for a brief moment yesterday in his office to ask his opinion on the possibility of a peace in Korea. Dr. Oliver, who served as adviser to Syngman. Rhee in Korea in the spring of 1949, in June, 1951, and again in November of last year, said he believed the United States should take a cautious view of the Russian offers of peace and repat riation of prisoners. Communists Stalling He pulled from his pocket an editorial which appeared early this month in a magazine in Com munist Russia. The editorial, he said, was an expression of the Communist strategy as the Rus sians themselves are talking in RuSsia. It advised that "sometimes de tours are necessary when the enemy temporarly has greater strength." In other words, Dr. Oli ver said, the Communists, admit they are stalling for time and that eventually they will make a final "striking blow." • . "Look at the situation. in Russia now," the professor said. "Stalin is dead, and Malenkov hasn't the power nor personal esteem that Stalin had. Even now Beria is plotting against Malenkov to seize control of the government. The country is in a weakened state." No Definite Policy If the Communists are eventu ally going to wage an actual "hot war" against the free world, Dr. Oliver believes that the United States should take advantage of Russia's weakness and drive for a military victory. "A military vic tory Would show the Communists that the United States means it when it says it wants peace, and would help also in winning the cold war against Russian corn:. munism," he said. But would the new administra tion in Washington 'adopt such a foreign policy in Korea? Dr. Oli ver said he believes the adminis tration "hasn't made up its mind yet on a definite policy." He said, "President Eisenhower began his administration with a policy that urged liberation of the countries under Communist aggression, ra ther than containment." While the death of Stalin, in weakening unity in the Commun ist world, provides an opportunity for the free world to push ahead for a military victory, it brings the hope also that• Russia might perhaps now abandon the war in Korea and want peace, he. sug gested.
