THEATRE NOTES
ON ALL  FRONTS
For entertainment, "Life with Father,"
the five year old comedy, and "Oklahoma"
the merry musical of the Southwest are
still running on Broadway. Giving stern
echoes of the present war are "The
Searching Wind" by Lillian Hcllman and,
"The Day Will Come" by Leo Birinski.
Two negro plays "Carmen Jones" and
"Anna Lucaster." with all negro casts, are
meeting with marked success. Tbe latter
play has a Minneapolis woman in tbe
leading role.
lor the overseas soldiers, Katherine
Cornell and Brian Aherne are playing"The
Barrets of Wimpole Street." The play
opened August 30 in Naples.
In London, "Crisis in Heaven," is a
war play striking a different note. The
famous dead of history and the recent
dead from the battlefields speak their minds
on war and peace. Helen of Troy. Voltaire, Abraham Lincoln and Florence
Ni'htingalc arc among  the character;;.
he "Little Theatres" are accomplish-
iti much in stabilizing emotions on the
hi ne front and the emotions of discharged  soldiers.
One of the ffrst post-war buildings to
be erected at the University of Minnesota
is a $500,000 theatre which will house
nothing but dramatic productions.
"G-Man" Subject
For Convocations
Presentation of the first two programs
in the current lyceum series introduced
Walter Haitsma, who spoke on the topic
"Weather in Aviation," and Burton Lynn
Jackson, who featured a program of
marimba  renditions.
Sam Grathwell, noted lecturer on subjects of popular appeal, will speak on
"The Story of the G-Man" at the third
assembly to be held on Wednesday, November 8, at two o'clock, in Central
Auditorium. A unique program, timely
and American, this lecture dramatically
describes how the name "G" Man came
into use, and gives a gripping account of
the F. B. I.'s war on crime and sabotage.
All observations are based on study and
research in case histories of notorious
criminals and upon procedure and results
°f action by the government's ace "trouble-
shooters."
J.   C.   IN   THE   WAR   EFFORT
A school as large as Rochester
Junior College should contribute its
part toward the war effort. Don't
you think that we should make
bandages and buy War Bonds and
Stamps?
Girls (and boys, too.—if you
like) let's make surgical dressings
for the Red Cross every Monday
night from 7:30 to 9:30 at the
Mayo Civic Auditorium. (Just
think of all the gossip you can
hear in ony two hours time!)
Please sign the notice on the bulletin board if you are interested.
And as for buying War Bonds
and Stamps, couldn't we arrange to
have them sold right here in school?
How about it, gang?
Soph "Med Sees"
Entertain Frosh
Approximately thirty-five students attended the "med. sec." weiner roast given
by the sophomores in honor of the freshmen at Kutzky Park on September fourteenth.
Mary Seiler and Nancy Bennett acted
as co-chairmen. Committees were comprised of Jane Seaman, assisted by Mary
Flowers and Beryl Davis in charge of food:
Jo-Ellen Ardin and Eva Scot aided Jean
Burke with the invitations: Janet Nelson
took care of the recreation program and
was helped by Shirley Golberg and Betty
Hoffard. Miss Peterson, instructor in the
Medical Secretarial course, acted as advisor.
Big sisters introduced their little sisters
and then everyone increased her appetite
by limbering up on a game of couple-up.
After feasting on hot dogs, phskles.
cokes, and cupcakes, everyone joined in a
game of flying Dutchmen. Before the
game had ended, two casualties were witnessed. Mary Flowers unexpectedly hit
the ground a bit too soon: result—a sore
leg. Warning to Mary Kruger: "You'd
better duck faster next time!"
It was agreed that everyone had fun
and that the food  was wonderful.
