Russel Ro Green was the slightly fatherly, slightly philosophical, and very publicity wise manager of a West End theater. He gave new life to a quite stereotyped character part, used in almost every present day production. The heroic chorine who went so s >ravely to her death in a London n Pub, was well presented by Becky n SWiley one of several newcomers to sthe player productions. Garedy was added by Kat Ganrand Lucy Ann Tate who played Mrs. Good and Gert; Miss Garner played the part of slightly motherly, talkative and gin-guzz s ling matron of the theater. Lucy Tate played the part of a very bouncy bus-girl who continually ycrashed in and out with trays of nmixed drinks, and coffee. *n Scenery for the play was much i. above usual Players standards. r. Sound effects, reproduced authentic .recordings of bombing of London, adlded much to the production. The n only flaw in the sound effects was sthe old habit of picking up tele r, phones before they rang, which tseems rather psychic to an audience. IIThe cooperation of a real telephone might help. Incoming Letters SNeed Box Numbers Mrs. Nannie T. Moon, University a postmistress, has announced that all inl-coming nmail should have box numbers on it. "We have a limited staff this year, and co-operation on the part of your friends will enable us to get the mail to students sooner," me saidl Mrs. Moon. it All lost and found articles should ts be reported at the post-office so that 11 the owners may be easily found.
