All threo ot these gentlemen havo had somo oxporienco on tho stage and will bo nblo to play up to Miss Thatcher's lead in a crcditablo manner. Other parts aro taken by Miss Edna Ed-na Hanson, Miss Lucile Rogers, Miss Ruby Osmond, Miss Zelda Klrkham, Mr. Dean and Mr. Snow all of whom wero carefully solccted from a number num-ber ot competing students because thoy wero especially adopted for tholr respective parts. All too, havo had theatrical experience. Tho play will run three nights in Logan, Mondny and Wednesday, for tho student body and tho public and Tuesday night especially for tho Roundup visitors. Besides playing hero, tho company will play In somo of tho surrounding towns. Pygmalion, os tho reader will ro-call, ro-call, was an anclont Greek sculptor who produced a statuo of a woman so exqulslto that ho fell In lovo with her. Dally ho would work upon his creation with loving caro. Every touch- of his hand was a caress as he supplied the details that would contribute con-tribute to her perfection. At last tho statue was completed and bo jut 4 stood beforo It with palpitating heart and adoring eyes, when to his great astonishment the statuo smiled and stepped down from her pedestal with arms stretched out to him. She had becomo a living soul. Mr. Shaw in his play Pygmalion, has taken, tho romantic Idea from tho Greek Myth and has woven It into a fascinating modorn story, His Pygmalion Pyg-malion is not a sculptor but nn expert ex-pert in phonetics; his creation Is not of ivory but of flesh and blood a dirty, illiterate, gutter snipo of tho most Ignorant typo-Mr. typo-Mr. Shaw, himself, Is n Pygmnllon for out of tho dead traditions of the stngo ho has created ap lay that is stage ho has created a play that Is laboratory oxporlment with human llfo nnd human emotions. In this play Mr. Shaw gives us much ot his quaint philosophy. Middle Mid-dle class prudery In all or Its ramifications ramifi-cations comes In for a sarcastic cynical, cyn-ical, humorous drubbing. Ills philosophy philos-ophy Is not thrown in ono's faco In long, tiresomo sermons, but Is dropped drop-ped In fragments from tho lips of tho dirty lllltera'to flower girl, tho damning nnd blasting professor, and tho philosophical and absolutely unprincipled un-principled dustman. Tho play Is brimming with humor throughout. It will keep an amused smllo constantly on tho faco and will leavo with tho listener an Interesting W problem to solve. Ho will go away from the porformanco wondering Just what does constitute tho distinctions between tho classes ot society after all. Tickets will bo on solo at Morrclls. Popular prices. Curtain at 8:30. " I |
