. Both Player "Americans" Quinn Says Second Night By Experience And Abil Bay BOB Q 'The University Players present Merrill G. Christophersen, direct< Wednesday of last week. The performances were played Tuesday eveniig performance wat than the Wednesday evening sho outstanding jobs of acting in botb Carl Atkins and Mary Crowt showed up exceedingly well in the to first presentation, sharing the hon- w 0 ors any time they appeared on stage together, and giving two of the most convincing characterizations yet seen on the Drayton Hall stage. a Atkins was playing the part of o David Adam, international man eg about town and secret service agent, and was outstanding in a part that S, was tailor-made for his personality ba Frank Bell, who played this role the jc following night also did a very bt creditable job. in Mary Crow played the part of B: Grace Clark, an elderly mother, in bu the first night's cast, and took the th part of Fido Desteau, Broadway hi beauty, on the second night. Miss w, Crow's performance as Fido, was ap not up to her masterful handling of ( the ,acrid-tongued old lady of the be night before. be Of the two performances, we it found the first more suspenseful and E: having that certain air of sabotage that held the audience well. da Laura Lee Green made a very qu convincing Grace in the second sis night performance. Dorothy Sligh w9 e and Alice Glominski, sharing the sic part of Mrs. Rheims, German spy, Cl showed up well. va There seemed to be a slight lack of coordination on stage in the nil second performance that kept it 'c from quite coming up to the first th night's record, which can be ex plained by the fact that most of the is first night actors were older and lo( more experienced, the majority hav- wa ing appeared in buveial Clistopher- th sen productions heretofore. The play itself calls for a lot from the actors, who can definitely nake C or break it. The plot is time-lion ored, but very effective and appro priate to the times, and has several new twists. It concerns the doings of an inventor, German and Ameri can agents, and the typical Ameri- de can family, who are all mixed up i in an intrigue to get the invention. re It is an excellent piece of theater, tic leaving only one thing to be de sired, a summation in a good cur- ga tain speech. Otherwise, we foundlo the dialogue very clever, with sev-1 eral double-entendres that only the cosmopolitan Christophersen could ga concoct-and which sometimes went ni~ 9 entirely over the heads of the a'u- nu dience. Other members of the two casts of were: Bill Tennant, who played a o restrained, but effective, Henry th< Clark, industrial tycoon and inven- m< * 0 NEW LOCATION .0 "The Old Reliable" f1222-24 Hampton Street WHERE STUDENTS I COMPLETELY AIR GENERAL Radios eHomeI Appliances Wholesale Perry -Mann Elec Columbia, WEBB'S AR' PICTURE Fl Wall Paper, Paints, Artisi And Paper F~ 1431 Main Steet Casts Of Reviewed Acting Overshadowed ty Of First Nighters ,d "The Americans," by Prc >r of dramatics, Tuesday a by two separate casts.

Frank aylor, business manager of the Uni rsity, revealed yesterday. "There are," Taylor said, "nine assifications of educational institu >ns, under the government priority t, that are required to order cer in commodities and materials, being ed for defense purposes, under fed al supervision. le also pointed out that the Uni rsity of South Carolina has had no >uble yet in obtaining priority ma rials, but that there could be some rficulty perhaps in ordering certain ims such as furnace grates, chemi Is, test tubes and beakers; materials ed in the chemistry and biology bs. "Of course, in ordering items for riergency repairs and emergency in ntories there could be some adjust ent made, but under no circumstance -e we to stock up on priority items," r. Taylor said. "Instead of waiting until the sum er months, as we have done in the ist, to order commodities for the isuing fall session, we will fill out id send in our orders in the spring as to better the possibilities of ob ining these priority items," he con uded. lew Motion Pictures dded To Film Library One hundred and seventy new mo m picture films have been added to e film library of the audio-visual Is bureau of the University, ac rding to a recent bulletin from the Ktension division office.
