    Spring Play
Will Present
New Actors
Guild Hall Group Will Also
Feature in Noted Drama,
‘Hotel Universe’
Doratlii Pierre Is Cast in
Leading Feminine Role
Of Ann Field
-- 1 *■ ‘
Several new actors, as well as
Some who have already shown
their abilities, will be presented
to the campus in the cast of “Ho
tel Universe,” by Phillip Barry,
spring production of the drama
division, according to an announce
ment made yesterday by Mrs. Ot
tilie Seybolt, director.
“The play is chosen primarily
for the Guild hall players, students
most advanced in acting experi
ence,” Mrs. Seybolt said last night,
“but since the play requires more
people than those in the regular
Guild hall group, additional actors
have been chosen from the course
in technique in acting or from the
campus at large.”
Players Announced
wuuu imu pia^cin wnu wm tanc
leading roles in the production are
Dorathi Pierre, Norma Jacobs,
Jean Williams, Addison Brockman,
and Carl Klippel. Ann Field,
whose story with that of Pat Far
ley makes up the central interest
of the play, will be played by Dor
athi Pierre. Mrs. Pierre, who is
the daughter of Professor R. W.
Bock, of the school of architec
ture, is known in the East as a
professional actress, and is now
registered on the University cam
pus.
She was leading lady for Julian
Eltinge, world famous female im
personator, for two years, appear
ing in “The Elusive Lady” and the
Revue. Mrs. Pierre also appeared
in “Up the Ladder,” produced by
William Brady, one of New York’s
leading producers, and was with
“Aphrodite,” produced by Morris
Geste in New York, for two years.
Mrs. Seybolt expressed the enthu
siasm of the Guild hall players
in having Mrs. Pierre as their
leading lady for this production.
Klippel in Cast
Carl Klippel will play Stephen
Field, Ann’s father. This is his
first venture into the realm of
older characters, and the director
expressed expectations that Carl’s
natural deliberateness and rich
voice would be particularly suited
to the part in which he has been
cast. Mr. Klippel will be remem
bered for the excellent piece of
work which he did as Johnny Case
in “Holiday” last fall.
The role of Pat Farley, a young
man, disillusioned and tragically
sunk in his own self pity, will be
played by Addison Brockman, who
has already given evidence of his
ability to handle such a role in
his performance of the brother,
Ned, in “Holiday.” Pat is really
I'
an enlargement of Mr. Barry's Ned
of "Holiday,” but fortunately, un
like Ned, Pat does eventually
"snap out of it.”
Norma Jacobs will play Lilly
Malone, a young actress and
dancer, one of the group of Amer
ican friends who are visiting Ann.
The part will again give Norma
a chance to play a "straight,”
though it involves more comedy
and less romance than her Olivia
interpretation in “Twelfth Night”
and so includes the qualities of
I some of her earlier roles in "Es
! cape” and "Women Folk,” accord
: ing to Mrs. Seybolt.
Jean Williams Has Role
Jean Williams, who played Su
san Potter in “Holiday,” and
Maria in "Twelfth Night,” will
play Alice Kendall, another of
Ann’s friends. Alice, as Barry’s
story goes, is very much in love
with Norman Rose. He loves her
in return, but his pride of race—
he is a Jew—coupled with the
dread of a refusal, deters him
from expressing his feelings. Nor
man will be played by Jack Stipe,
who appeared effectively this year
as the Devil in "The Devil Comes
to Alcarez,” and as the young hus
band and father in "A Single
Man.”
Tom Ames, Barry’s successful
American business man of middle
age, is a character still haunted
from time to time by his youthful
ardour for religion. The part of
Tom will be played by Walden
Boyle, who is practically a new
comer, as he has had only one
minor role.
Hope Ames will be played by
Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt. Mrs. Seybolt
expressed herself as disapproving
of a director participating in his
own production. "But at the same
time,” she said, "a director ought
to look across the footlights oc
casionally,” so she has selected
this minor role by which to get
into the same realm with her ac
tors. Hope is one character who
takes life for granted as it comes
and is not seriously at odds with
her own life.
The part of Felix, which is
spoken entirely in French, will be
played by Felix LeGrand, of the
romance language department. It
is through this character that the
author emphasizes the passage of
real time and adds to the suspense
of the play.
‘(’aligari’ Filin Wins
Praises at Preview
‘"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,”
sensational French mystery film,
which will be presented this Thurs
day afternoon at the Colonial by
the faculty club, was previewed
before a small group last night and
won high praise from all who saw
it.
Weird photographic effects, com
bined with one of the most unus
ual plots ever screened, and a ca
pable cast of actors who seem to
fit in with the picture, make a
spectacle that is certain to intrigue
the most sophisticated theatre
goer.
The picture will show three
times Thursday afternoon, starting
at 1:45, it is announced. It is ex
pected to be the most successful
screen presentation of the faculty
club series.

WHAT SHOW TONIGHT?|
Colonial—“Playboy of Paris,”
with Maurice Chevalier.
Heilig— “Father's Son,” with
Leon Janney and Lewis Stone.
M c D o n a 1 d—“A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's
Court,” with Will Rogers.
State—"Sweethearts on Pa
rade” and “Inside the Lines.”
Will Rogers-Twain Opus Today
At last arrives Will Rogers’ in
terpretation of Marjk Twain’s “A
Connecticut Yankee in King Ar
thur’s Court,” with the Rogers va
riety of wit adding to the hilarious
story of a modern American in a
medieval setting. The satirical
part is left out of the film by the
director, who wisely understood
the difficulty of putting such types
of humor over on the screen, and
he has relied on the use of anach
ronisms between that century and
modern times. A large cast, all
well known in local theaters’, adds
support to Rogers' best, and really
excellent efforts.
* » *
State Bill Has Marine Story
Two different types of stories,
though both concerning men who
protect a nation, are on display at
the State today in the last show
ing of their double bill. The first
is “Inside the Lines,” with Betty
Compson and Ralph Forbes, a
story of war and spies-. The sec
ond is a comedy based on the well
known legend of a sailor’s “wives
of the port.” Lloyd Hughes, Alice
White, and other known names
appear in the cast list.
Lewis Stone Has Fine Role
Lewis Stone does some of the
best work in his career as the
misunderstanding father in “Fa
ther’s Son,” a film adapted from
the story by Booth Tarkington,
and playing at the Heilig for the
last time today.
The son is played by Leon Jan
ney, previously distinguished in
his role as the illegitimate grand
son of George Arliss in “Old Eng
lish.”
The story deals with the mis
understandings of a father over
the healthy pranks of his young
“A Connecticut Yankee in King j
Arthur's Court”
son, and their final solution with
the resultant increased happiness
of both.
Chevalier at Colonial
Vastly better than his previous
efforts is the current film that
stars Maurice Chevalier, • ‘"The
Playboy of Paris,” now showing at
the Colonial theatre.
As a singer who receives the
toast of all Paris, one who rises
to fame and fortune, or as the
dangerous flirt, the menace that
every girl loves to have about her,
Chevalier excels in a way that no
American musicomedian has been
able to do.
