ANNE WYLIE SAYS something amusing, to the shock of Leonard
Tarnowski, but to the delight of Myron Cole and Betsy JOnes.
Miss Wylie plays the beautiful, middle-aged heiress in Players'
production of Frederick Lonsdale's farce-comedy, "On Approval,"
which opened last night at Center Stage.

Audience Gay 20's
Time was pushed back la i st night to the Roaring Twenties as
Players presented their production of Frederick Lonsdale's comedy,
"On Approval," at Center Stage.
Besides returning to this charming, amoral age, the audience was
transported to the British Isles, and there witnessed the shennana-

Right on the heels of the Navy-Penn State 'dual
wrestling meet encountered last week at Annap
olis comes another tough one for Coach Charlie
Speidel's Eastern and National defending mat
champs. This time it will be in Rec Hall where
the University of Pittsburgh will battle the Nittany
Lions in the "match of the year."
The dual meet is at 7 tonight.
The Panthers, who come here boasting a most
envious record', will go into today's dual. meet as
favorites—the first time any team has been con
ceded better than an even chance against the
Lions in four years of wrestling.

gins of four amusingly attractive
characters.
Has Unusual Philosophy
When Maria, a still-beautiful,
middle-aged heiress, reveals her
unusual philosophy of marriage,
the audience becomes immediately
interested in the action and the
people. Maria, admirably por
trayed by Anne Wylie, decides
that since her last marriage ended
in unhappiness, she will take away
her next prospective husband for
a month, on approval, before be
coming his mate.
Miss Wylie, as the ingenious
heiress, plays her role almost to
perfection. Although at the be
ginning of the show, it seems im
probable that she is to represent
a woman of 41, this age discrep
incy is soon forgotten due to her
fine acting.
Duke Laughable Character
Myron Cole, playing thr' duke, a
laughably conceited and selfish
nobleman, enthralls the artdienae
almost as soon as he appears in
his bizarre costumes of the most
hideous cuts and colors. Cole,
seemingly realizing the inade
quacy of the ,somewhat date d
humor in the play, appears to do
everything in his power to create
and then sustain laugh-provoking
situations.
When Maria and the duke are
together on stage, the farce glides
along, neither encumbered by ex
cessive speeches nor by inade
quate acting. The laughs appear
ing at these spot: - are not solely
due to Lonsdale's words, but also
result from expert direction of

Republicans
Will Review
Probe Rules
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (W)—
Senate Republicans, meeting amid
a storm over Sen. Joseph . Mc-
Carthy's methods, ordered a
checkup today to see whether
rules fo r Senate investigations
should be changed.
McCarthy, declaring he would
press on with his probes, said:
"Witnesses in the future will have
the same consideration as in the
past." ti
He said he would go right on
exposing "dishonesty, corruption
and communism."
At another point in a news con
ference, he said: "I don't subscribe
to the idea that if your own party
is being embarrassed—lay off."
It was a charge by Secretary
of the Army Robert T. Stevens
that McCarthy had abused and
brow-beaten a general which set
off the newest , controversy over
McCarthy's methods.
Stevens at first had seemed
headed for a televised showdown
with McCarthy, who denied any
abuse. This was called off after
Stevens, McCarthy and othe r
members of McCarthy's Investi
gating subcommittee reached an
accord, which was generally re
garded as a surrender by'-Stevens.
Aroused by this interpretation,
Stevens yesterday issued a state
ment that he would "never ac
cede" to humiliation of Army men.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
backed Stevens "IQO percent."
It was the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, headed by Sen.
Homer Ferguson (R-Mich), which
ordered a survey of the rules with
a view to a possible overhauling.
McCarthy said he had read
stories that "Republicans were
trying to stop me," and dismissed
the idea as "completely ridicu
lous" when asked what he would
do if some Republicans did try to
stop him.
The senator, talking on the sub
ject of one-man hearings, said he
had asked Democratic members
of his investigating subcommittee
to attend every hearing.
"I hope they do attend," he said.

Navy which ended Penn State's 34-dual meet
winning streak has led to speculation that the Pan
thers will take the Nittany Lions this year.
Tonight's match with the Lions will be the last
dual meet of the season for Coach Rex Peery's
Panthers. A' victory will give them a record of
nine wins against a single defeat. The Lions, on
the other hand, will be in search of their sixth
triumph.
Foremost of the Pitt grapplers is Hugh Peery,
son of the coach and following in the footsteps of
his dad. Hugh Peery, who has stored away many
mat titles, is two-time National Collegiate champ.
The talented 123-pounder will be seeking his 40th
consecutive win in collegiate competition, includ
ing regular dual meets and post-season champion
ship matches. (Continued on. page seven)

Mueller benies
rm Report
Director of Housing Otto E.
Mueller Thursday discredited a
report made recently by Thomas
Kidd, Pollock Council member,
that vacated Pollock dormitories
will not be used again as dormi
tories.
Mueller said he thought the re
port, evidently a rumor, was
"wishful thinking" on the part of
residents of the area who wish
to move.
Mueller said Pollock dormitor
ies will continue to be used until
other facilities or a lack of demand
for housing make their use un
necessary.
Kidd said a merger of Pollock
and Nittany Councils into an East
Dorm Council was proposed be
cause the Pollock area is shrink
ing in size as a living area.
