It won't be long until the student body will have the opportunity of seeing this sophisticated comedy which fascinated New York audiences for weeks. The play goes on the boards May 10, 11, and 12. It is a modern drama filled with subtle humor and suggestion, and is very different from "The Taming of the Shrew," "Dear Brutus," and "Friend Hannah," other plays which have been presented at Weber during the last two years. Assisting Mr. Allred with some of the scenes of the play is Gilbert Tolhurst, who directed the Little Theatre Guild play, "Counsellor at Law," and played the title role. Shawn Troupe Appear Ted Shawn and his athletic men dancers, who have been termed "miracles of beauty", will present a program in the O. H. S. auditorium, April 28, 1939 at 8:00 P. M.. This will be the last lyceum program of the school year. Shawn says that men who danced, with rare exception, were considered weak, spineless, even effeminate creatures, by people of the world. This is not true, as Mr. Shawn has proved in the programs which he and his men daancers have given in the United States and abroad, (Continued on Page 2) STAMOS CALLS Only sissies swallow goldfish: real men eat live mice. So says Glen Stamos, who has drawn up a contract to swallow one live mouse in Lester Park next Monday noon. His only condition is that the mouse be at least one inch long, not counting the tail. Stamos wants 10 persons to advance him fifty cents each in anticipation of his mouse swal HAY, HAY, FARMER GRAY will be crowned King of Weber's annual Hayseed Hop tonight Local Newspaperman Addresses Writers Editor Frank Francis, veteran Ogden .iournalist, gave sixty apprentice writers of Weber college sage instructions on how to make a living out of writing. Mr. Francis represented theStandard-Examiner and was sponsored by the Journalism class in a special forum last week. Mr. Francis prefaced his remarks by saying that he considered writing to be a qualification for success in any occupation. Among the specific steps mentioned for gaining publication were the building of a name, persistence in writing for whatever publication is at hand, and attention to an individual, imaginative way of saying things. Mae Mann Success Such pertinent illustrations of success as Mae Mann, local movie magazine writer, and Mr. Perrins, managing editor of the Standard and national press correspondent, diverted the audience. Miss Mann, it was said, earns approximately $3500 yearly. And currently three movie magazines carry three articles written by her. When she first wrote for the Standard as Brig-ham City correspondent, she couldn't make her subjects and verbs agree consistently. However, she had something more important imagination, and remedied these other deficiences bv a course at the University of Utah. After the hour was over, the students commented upon the worthwhileness and sincerity of Mr. Francis' address. FOR LIVE MOUSE lowing act. If he fails to get the mouse down, he will refund seventy-five cents to each of the donors. Glen seemed to have no fears regarding the consequence of his ! act. He pooh-poohed the idea that the mouse might gnaw around inside of him. "The only difficulty I'll have is in getting a live mouse," he calmly told the staring students.

A program of the highest type has been in preparation during the winter and promises to be an outstanding musical event. The orchestra, composed of forty Weber college musicians and augmented by outstanding musicians of the city, is under the direction of Mr. Clair W. Johnson and is in good symphonic proportions. One of the outstanding compositions to be played by them is the entire (Continued on Page 3) Time JaiL Wealth, fame obscurity, misery? Who can say what concoctions will be stirred up by Time? Those who aspire to be the Abraham Lincolns, the Sarah Bernhardts, or the Rud-yard Kiplings of today, may be the common Helen Browns and John Browns of tomorrow. How many sylphs of pencil-like slim-r.ess will become tomonow's plump matrons rearing b:oods of children? How many dashing "jitterbugs" will become tomorrow's tired business men dozing over their evening paper, tugging at iheir smouldering cigar stubs? Will the nondescripts now veiled in inconspicuous brown and gray someday flare fortn in gorgeous colors, or will air castles and bubble dreams collapse, reveries shatter? Who can say which students will become the governors or grandfathers, the doctors or drunkards, the millionaires or mechanics? Yet (Continued on Page 2) |
