Bissell Scores

COMPARED TO the three previous productions at Keith's this season, Mr. Bissell at present is

is just that. As a mate-protector, he is a reeling success. The play as a whole was not as polished last night as the opening of last week’s, but one or two more performances should remedy that. With a great amount of “stage business” to be executed, the company obviously has had its hands full in trying to smooth this one out while meantime preang last week’s “Susan and Several of the punch lines went strangely unheeded by last night's audience (the size of which was a bit more encouraging than previous ones) and some lines were just plainly garbled.

The Fun Starts

WHEN PERCY HELTON literally jumps into the arms of Walter Gilbert in the first scene, the signal is out then and there ‘that these two are going to give out with some rich comedy. Mr, Helton excellently creates the character of a babbitted college trustee and Mr. Gilbert is his usual forceful self as the former all-American football player returned to his alma mater. And Katherine Meskill “as the professor’s non-literary wife again does a fine job. Not without reason, Miss Meskill is now regularly greeted with applause upon her entrances—a popular star in three weeks. She may very well be - termed the star of Keith's company. And while at this business of individual performances, William Roerich is not to be overlooked.

Plain Comedy

THIS IS NOT a play about “movements,” ideas or false hopes. This is simply a comedy that could happen at Purdue, I. U.,, Michigan—or what’s your favorite college? Those who managed to forego the President's address found the evening a merry one.

HOLLYWOOD, May 28 (U.

There are two factions at Harvard, the Crimson and the Lampoon. I was invited to the Lampoon dance and the Crimson boys threw the tomatoes, I guess.”
