Jesse Lewis Manager Manager Middleton's tried-and-true foster brother, was a bit marred by indistinct enunciation; Madeline Haynsworth, "a poor crazed lass," who would make a good Ophelia; and Howard Richardson, who come3 from Mars Hill with a good record as playwright and actor.

Richardson bombasts through the prologue, gives an old-fashioned legerdemain exhibition between acts, and plays three different parts in the show, all in fine style. Elaborate Production The production is one of the most elaborate ever given on the Playmakers theater stage, and it must have taken more than ordinary ingenuity and work on the part of Harry Davis and his technical assistants to put so much action and varied scenery into such small bounds, ilrs. Davis' costumes, as usual, are good. The cottage interior, the woodland glade, the wretched garret, the New York bar, the wretched outhouse, and the front drop are masterful sets. It's a glorious show; and, in the words of every human theater-goer who has seen it, "You Editorial Staff Associate Editors: E.

Sports: Leonard Levitch The Administration Breaks The Tape--- 'Twas a hectic year of schooling But three thousand students here Took' exercise in an outgrown gym, Nor thought of gin or beer. Then to the city called Washington Mr. Charlie Woollen came. -ffX' To the PWA he made his way, They knew him by his name. 1 7 Zi- Batons Raised By Roberts Jeknigan, Jr.

A valiant man is Mr. Charlie And plans for a gym had he. He was out to get some money For projects one, two, three. By Brut. Hudson It's really no use writing a review on "The Prunkard," unless to warn the public that there will be a last night performance this evening.

We feel like the electoral college gravely announcing the winning presidential candidate, long after popular returns have been rolled on every tongue. For the opening night show Thursday went off with a bang that must have been echoed all over the Village by noon yesterday. But Proff Koch gives us press tickets to say something about his boys and girls, so publicity they shall have, belated or not. 'The. Drunkard" is a play within a play.

In an 1840 framework 'God Bless Our Homes," "Home Is Mother," gas lights, pantalettes and hoop skirts, "Ah, me proud beauty," virtue supreme through distress and ultimately triumphant, heartless villainy, tried-and-true loyalty, superlative filial piety the Playmakers have grand fun in a spirited take-off of mid-century sentimental melodrama. The atmosphere is perfectly sustained throughout, from the gaudy handbills and curtain speech of Mr. H. Richardson, through 21 rip-roaring scenes interspersed with entre-acte songs, fiddling, and sleight-of-hand, to the closing grand chorus, "There is a tavern in the town." And, throughout, "The Audience is requested to follow their natural inclination to APPLAUD Virtue in Distress and in Triumph, and give Villainy its due!" Like a professional in a company of talented but less experienced amateurs, Robert Nacht-mann sneers and slinks through his part as the heartless Lawyer Cribbs so superbly that the fine work done, without exception, by the other members of a large cast is somewhat unjustly overshadowed. Two other veteran' Playmakers, Robert Du Four and Christine Maynard, play major roles.

Du Four, with perhaps the most difficult assignment in the cast, the part of the hero, Edward Middleton, utters lofty sentiments, gets drunk, falls into evil ways, has the D. and reforms, all with admirable nobility and agony. As Julia, the drunkard's darling daughter, Miss Maynard is an absurdly comic little ray of domestic sunshine. Talented Newcomers In the opening play of the season the stage is always a review ground for new actors. This year "The Drunkard" affords Playmaker debuts for an unusual number of good ones.

Particularly impressive Thursday night were Mary Hartshorn, the leading lady; Eloise Banning, in the straight comedy role of a simpering old maid; Samuel Hirsch, whose capable performance of an important part, as Philosophy Of Life (H. G. WELLS) If human greatness is a matter of scale and glitter, then no doubt Alexander the Great is at the apex of human greatness. But is greatness that? Is not a great man rather one who, in a great position or amidst great opportunities and great gifts are no more than great opportunities serves God and his fellows with a humble heart? But the PWA is a stingy crew And red tape had its day. So WPA had reigned supreme -5- y'-yl And bureaucracy said "Nay.1 9 V' 'r Then yesterday came the joyful news: Our project had come through.

For Mr. Charlie had done the job, And no longer were we blue. There's a moral to this story, You can bet as sure's you're born: Every Business Man Controller Ain't a dumb-bell greenhorn. Stuart Rabb. A I By Bud Kornbutb SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb 10:00 WDNC Your Hit Parade (CBS).

Woollen's The Man FTWO years ago, in the spring of 1935, University Controller Charles T. Woollen marched up to Washington to file a federal aid application for a new gym and coed dormitory. Acceptance of the two projects seemed almost certain. Carolina's Number One business man, high spirits, returned to South building. But government complications set in.

Federal officials failed to give the University the grant. Last summer Mr. Woollen, undaunted, went back to Washington. Past every scrutinizing bureau all the way to the president's desk he pushed his petition. But Mr.

Roosevelt issued some rule which slashed, what the campus thought, was all hope of ever obtaining federal aid for a gym. Back home again Mr. Woollen came. But he did not quit his quiet campaign to provide the University with its two most-needed buildings. Yesterday he won his fight.

For the new gym and women's dormitory, the campus has the unceasing efforts of Charles T. Woollen to thank. Morale On The Up LAST, NIGHT the pharmacy school's upper classes gave a social for the new members. Thursday the undergraduate classes of the University met in order to resurrect the class spirit. These two events are steps being taken for the unifying of the student body into a compact whole, with a definite esprit, instead of the present nebulous collection deriving its spirit from the football field and returning alumni Certainly the pharmacy school has taken an important step in the building of an academic morale, a school spirit about the school itself and its work.

Not only will this enliven the work of the student with his associates, but it will also tend to increase his interest in his scholastic work. It would seem that other schools and departments of the University would critically watch our pharmacists, and see if perhaps it wouldn't be best for them to follow this school's lead. E. If. K.

Ina Ray Hutton New York called her "the blonde bombshell of rhythm;" Pittsburgh added "the glorious, glamorous melody miss;" Chicago contributed "the vivacious eyef ul-and earf ull" and now Texas shouts her praises with "siren of song." Quite a large order of adjectives to live up to and yet Ina Ray Hutton fills the bill, and what is more, retains all the charming modesty that was her proud possession before she scored such a phenomenal success and became an outstanding theatrical figure in the public eye. Twenty Years Old Ina Ray Hutton was born in Chicago on March 13, 1916. Her first stage appearance was with Gus Edwards' Revue at the Palace theater in New York four years ago. At this appearance president of Mills Artist saw her dance and immediately gave her a contract to direct the Melodears. Today Ina, a young lady of just 20, is a performer of assured headline fame and well established as a prime favorite with American audiences.

Her dynamic personality, of course, has had a great deal to do with her rise to the top. Her beauty in physical make-up, tall and graceful with a sinuous figure plus her intriguing manner of leading her girls through their musical paces, has excited the attention and won the approval of her audiences.

Letters Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting by Editor MORE FACTS To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: One more word about the thoughtlessness displayed at the Saturday grid-graph. Of course the thoughtless ones did not know: (a) that the player re-, ferred to, after being obviously singled out for rough treatment by a visiting team early in the 1934 season, worked on throughout that season with a painful injury without mentioning it to his friends or relatives till later, and (b) that throughout the 1935 season and for weeks afterward he had daily to take hours out of his school work to report morning and afternoon for prolonged- treatment of a shoulder injury that slowed down his football and kept him out of baseball (in which also he had starred in his prep school days).
