Involved in Plot
“God pity the seamen.” Xo! This
is not the exclamation a sea-sick
land shark made when his feet were
safely returned on dry land; this is
the exclamation made by a husband
when he found a few of his elite
society friends giving a benefit play
for aid in the erection of a Seaman’s
institute.
If you were a young business hus
band returning unexpectedly home
from a long trip, planning on a quiet
evening with your wife—and found
her completely wrapped up in a ben
efit play—what would you do or
say? Smile and acquiesce? Yes.
But when you found that the last
rehearsal was to takt place in your
home that very night, what would
happen?
When the bland, dapper director,
the effusive young gentleman, the
sophisticated young woman, the
widow flirt, who had had only four
husbands and was looking for a
fifth, the hard boiled director—and
others burst in upon your home
sanctity to" the delight of your wife
—what would you do?
Why gaze a moment in astonish
ment and then become the perfect
host. Oh! to be sure they are called
the elite of the neighborhood, plenty
of money and all that—oh yes to
be sure—but at present they are
thoroughly lost in the fate of poor
seamen. All very well! Very char
itable of course!
The play starts. It is true. Which
of the two do you prefer, young
man? Death from shock outright,
or just to drift into unconsciousness,
with dreams of a play for—seamen
—with your wife in the leading
part. What a part—enough to make
one man die, and the other faint.
Why? That’s the secret that only
the “Torchbearers” can reveal to
you. “Torchbearers” will be pre
sented at the Guild theater March
3 and 4 as the second production of
the term, under the direction of Miss
Florence E. Wilbur, dramatic coach.

Many Letters From Alaska to Iowa
Received by Drama DepartmentHead !>
Eighth Grade Graduating Class of Alaska Indians j
Decide to Give Play Like White Friends
Questions ar.d more questions!
From near and far eome letters!
First there is the young man in
Iowa with a bachelor’s degree, who
wishes to take graduate work in
drama. Not much of an actor per
haps, but willing to be made one.
Again, Alaska may be a cold place,
and quite distant, but its people
too like drama. In Ilydaburg tms
year there will be an eighth grade
graduating class consisting of three
girls and three boys, all of whom are
around twenty years of age. There
are only three white people in the
whole community, no library, and
of a certainty no place to buy a
play. Wishing to do things the way
white folks do, these Alaska Indian
students are going to present a play,
and have written to Miss Florence
E. Wilbur to have her select them a
suitable one.
This may be all right, it's war
ranted, but what’s a director to do
when a woman in our northwest
sends in a request for information
on drop curtains, especially when
they want to know suitable colors,
materials, prices, widths, lengths,
and where everything is obtainable.
Directing drama at a State Uni
versity is not confined to the in
struction of drama students, to the
staging and producing of plays, to
managing and supervising, of to
planning a drama tournament. Miss
Wilbur’s tasks at present are many
and varied. Answering letters,
showing people from all over Ore
gon the stage and lighting systems,
rehearsing the “Torch Bearers,”
which is to be produced within a

“Like scores of others
whose everything is
their voice and a
clear throat, I, when
I smoke, prefer the
toasted cigarette—
Lucky Strike.”
I MiabJun. N.Y.
The Precious Voice of Ruffo
Why He Recommends Lucky Strikes
—Because "It’s Toasted”
TITTA RUFFO, famous baritone of the Metropolitan
and Chicago Operas, possesses a voice which al
ways brings a thrill to his audience, a voice which has
won international fame.
In smoking, he prefers Lucky Strikes because they
give the greatest enjoyment and throat protection.
Lucky Strikes are smooth and mellow—the finest
cigarettes you ever smoked. They are made of the
finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, properly aged
and blended with great skill, and there is an extra
process in treating the tobacco.
Smoke Lucky Strikes—you’ll like
them.
“It’s toasted”
Your Throat Protection
When in Nett'York you are cordi
ally invited to see hou Lucky Strikes
are made at our exhibit, corner
Broadway and 45th Street.
