German Tonight University of South Carolina VOL. XXI FRII)AY, APRII, 13, 1928 No. 23 lIfiss Doroi LARGE CROWDS SEE "JUSTICE" THE PAST WEEK Deftness And Sureness Are Feat ures Of Acting In Gals worthy's Drama JEPPE IS LEADING MAN Carolina Student Body And Fac ulty Furnish Large Per centage of Talent The large audiences attending the recent performance of Galsworthys play "Justice" at the Town Theatre saw the work of both Galsworthy and William Dean ably presented. The play itself, slightly heavy in nature, was handled with deftness and sureness by the splendid cast and furnished a fitting vehicle for the act ing of Mr. Douglas Jeppe in the role of William Falder, erring junior clerk in the office of James Howe and Son. Mr. Jeppe, lately of Scotland Yard, England, and now employed on the Saluda dam project, is a newcomer in Town Theatre .work and established himself firmly by his performance in "Justice." "Justice" called for what was prob ably the largest cast ever to take part in a Town Theatre production and was made u' of many people from the city of Columbia and the usual large percentage of students and faculty members from the University. The characters of'James I-low and Son were enacted by Dr. Francis W. Bradley, of the Teutonic language de partment, and Mr. Will'iam Otis, a former student at the University. The role of Ruth Honeywill, sweet heart of Falder, was presented by Mrs. William B. Burney, this being her first appearance at the Town Theatre. Mr. William )ean, director of the Town Theatre, gave one of the finest bits of acting in the prison scene, when he took the parts of two convicts in succession, accomplishing this by a rapid change of make-up and appearance. Dr. Yates Snowden, of the history department of the University, very adequately filled the role of Mr. Jus tice Floyd, the judge in the court scene and furnished the comedy relief for the otherwise somber proceedings. This is I)r. Snowden's second appearance at the Town Theatre. Two very superb bits of acting were given by Mr. Coleman Karesh and Mir. Eddie Pritchard. as legal representa tives of the crown and the defendant respectively. The entire performance was a testi mionial to the direction of M r. Villiaim I)ean, under whose supervisioi the various parts were give ii. H handldi1 the large cast and the cotplete change of scenery wit h all t hr speed peri ted by bul1k.

The S00-page volume, striking for the thoroughness with which its South Carolina pirate theme has been devel oped and the effectiveness of the imi tation woodcut art work in flat colors is scheduled to come from the press May 13. Virtually all the copy is now in the hands of the printers and com position work is already under way. The increased size of this year's Garnet and Black is made necessary by the larger enrollment in the Unti versity, the addition of two sections or books that were not carried last year, a beauty section and a co-ed section. the decision of social frater nities and the German club to double the size of their space and other fac tors going to take up the publication of a tmore complete record of Game cock activities for the year.
