Whispering
Gallery
(Continued from page four)
With the notable exception of
the Kangaree Hop, the choreb
graphy presents nothing revolu
tionary or sparkling. We wer e
glad to hear veteran dancer Helen
Tamaris has been called in to do
some polishing. -
Costumes are bright and cheer
ful. The overall production has
the cake-frosting lightness of a
summer holiday. For all its glitter,
very little happens and the aud
ience sits waiting for the pickup
that never arrives.
We didn't get a chance to read
the Philadelphia reviews, but we
understand they were slightly
rhapsodic, probably out of pure
sentiment for Miss Booth. She, as
always, is gracious in her own
earthly way—her g r a v el voice
rasping away in imperfect Eng
lish. She is no singer or dancer
and she doesn't pretend to be, but
when she struts through the mid
way singing "In the Good Old
Summertime," she puts the chorus
to shame. She is most at home in
the Lottie Gibson specialty num
ber, in her vaudeville skit in
which, dressed as a baby, she
sings "Please Don't Send Me
Down a Baby Brother"—reminis
cent of the late Fannie Brice and
her ludicrous Baby Snooks rou
tine.
The book suffers from too many
loose ends and an uneven dis
tribution of laughs. The comedy
is mostly passe with such jags as
a neighbor's gloating "Gee, Mr.
Emery, I saw you once in Ham
let. Why were you so nasty to
your mother?" and Baby, Betsy
Busch's threatening "If you were
my mother I'd put poison in your
coffee," followed by a quip by
Miss Boot h, "If you were my
daughter, I'd drink it."
We noticed one song and two
scenes have been eliminated from
the original program. If the Phila
dalphia production is an indica
tion of a revised script and im
proved score, we shudder to think
of -the show that opened. in New

Assembly
Packard to Run
For President
Of Leonides
Loa Joan Packard, sixth semes
ter arts and letters major, has
been nominated- for president of
Leonides, independent women's
organization, replacing Joyce
Shusinan, who has been appointed
chairthan of Judicial, women's ju
diciary body.
According to Hilda Hogeland,
president of Leonides, Miss Shus
man had to decline her nomina
tion because both the president
of Leonides and Judicial chair
man have seats on All-University
Cabinet, even though the Judicial
seat is only as an ex-officio mem
ber.
Miss Packard will oppose Betty
Buchanan, fifth semester educa
tion major, in the elections April
1. Campaigning for the elections
will begin Friday, and new offi
cers will take office May 3.
