    Cast of'Hamlet’ Will Include
All Players of Guild Theatre
The cast of "Hamlet,” which is
to be given on the campus April
29 and 39, will include all the Guild
Hall players. The title role, played
by Gene Love, is so dominant
throughout the play that one can
hardly point out a feminine lead,
says Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt in com
menting upon the selection. In a
sense, both Ophelia and Queen
Gertrude play “opposite” Hamlet.
These parts will be taken respect
ively by Marian Camp, whose de
lightful “Dulcy” opened the Guild
theatre season, and by Inez Si
mons, who recently achieved dis
tinction in the role of Andromache
in “Trojan Women.”
Jack Stipe, who has played sev
eral important roles each year,
most recently the terrorized Hib
bert in "Journey’s End,” will play
the plotting King Claudius. Harvey
Welch, whose gushing scenario
writer was a high spot in "Dulcy,”
will be Rosencrantz with Eldon
Woodin as his co-plotter, Guilden
stem.
The doddering Polonius is Wil
[ bur Walker, who, as Sergeant Ma
son rn “Journey's End," gave re
lief to a grimly relentless situation.
Chuck Shumaker, appearing as
Hamlet’s constant friend, Horatio,
was the sergeant-major of the war
play; and Warren Gram, who will
be remembered as P^ileigh, will
play Laertes, brother to Ohelia.
Two newcomers, A1 Culverwell
and William Anderson, will play
the comic grave diggers. Bob Fer
guson, Leopard Dart, and Ethan
Newman appear as Francisco, Mar
cellus, and Reynaldo. Wilbur Thi
bault is the Player King and Louise
Marvin the Player Queen. Ladies
and gentlemen of the court, mes
sengers, and other characters in
clude Louise Webber, Ann Powell,
Beth Hurst, Betty Buffington,
Dorothy Esch, Howard Steib,
Ethan Newman, Russell Clarke,
Bob Loomis, Hagan Moore, Roland
Boles, Martin Geary, Russell Tink
ham, and Howard Ragan.
‘O.K.’ MEYERS 'GREAT
MAN, CAMPUS LEARNS
(Continued from Page One)
Not once. But he exuded person
ality. And he isn’t conceited.
"Oh, no, of course my campaign
wasn’t serious. I didn’t know any
thing about it until one morning
they called me from the Seattle
Times and said ‘I hear you're run
ning for mayor.’ ”
Vic Meyers’ campaign was the
brain-child of the news room of
the Seattle Times. They were look
ing for something new to publish.
They found it. They said they
would give him a top head if he
would go down and file his candi
dacy for mayor. Cost: only $75.
As far as his platform was con
cerned, Vic remarked: "Oh, I’d get
a gag; somebody else would get a
gag; everybody got a gag. We got
Laura La Plante to come up from
Hollywood to act as my campaign
manager.”
"Was she awfully clever?” I
asked.
"Oh, no,” Vic answered, "but the
type. A beautiful blond. You
know.”
Vic got out a huge scrap book,
chock-full of clippings, and showed
it to us.
"I’m on my way south now to
make a picture, “The Jazz Mayor”
for R. K. O. We'll make Home elec
trical transcriptions, too.”
“Did Seattle take your campaign
very seriously?” asked Duniway.
“Oh, no, but I got f>,000 votes.”
(and that is easy to understand,
having met the man.)
Vic comes originally from Port;
land. He used to play at the Mult
nomah hotel and at Seaside.
“Did you go to college?” we
asked.
“No, and I certainly envy you
youngsters who get to go to col
lege. I’m going to give my young
sters every opportunity.”
“How many children have you?”
“Two, a boy and a girl,” and
with the economy of movement
which seems characteristic of the
man, Vic walked over to his scrap
book and began turning the pages.
“Here’s a picture of the girl. She
was only 11 hours old when this
was taken. The papers said it was
just a publicity stunt.”
Besides his scrap book, Vic has
a box literally overflowing with
clippings. “I subscribed to one of
those clipping bureaus. You know.
I ran up a bill of some $f>(>0, five
cents a clipping.”
Vic didn’t say that with pride.
Rather it amused him, made him
wonder. He’s a perfect showman.

Demos Say House
Will Vote on Bonus
WASHINGTON, April 14—fAP)
—A House vote on cashing the two
billion dollar soldiers’ bonus virtu
ally was conceded today by Demo
cratic leaders.
After another Ways and Means
committee hearing — held under
police guard because of disorders
created by a Communist group—
Representative Rainey, Democra
tic leader, said:
“A House vote seems assured.
Advocates claim enough votes to
pass the bill. Maybe they have
them, but I believe the opponents
are making headway.”
Even then, Eugene Meyer, gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve
board, and chairman of the Recon
struction Finance corporation, was
assailing the plan for issuing new
currency to pay the bonus as
"dangerous.”
From Indianapolis came a state
ment by Henry L. Stevens, na
tional commander of the American
Legion, reiterating his view that
the Detroit convention delivered
"a clear and unmistakable” man
date against the bonus.
"It authorizes no action but
clearly restrains the American
Legion from asking for the imme
diate payment of the adjusted ser
vice certificates,” Stevens said.
Both Democratic and Republican
spokesmen made clear every ef
fort still is being made, to stop the
bonus.

Faculty Show
We realize that we’re no# movie
reviewer, and that our opinion is
probably not worth that, but in
spite of these facts we wish to
pronounce “Viennese Nights,” the
Faculty club picture shown yes
terday afternoon at the Colonial,
the finest picture from all stand
points that we’ve ever seen, and
we’ve been an ardent fan for five
years.
From every angle this picture
seemed pure beauty; beauty of
story, music, photography, direc
tion, acting, color, anything you
like. The story is old—that of a
broken romance—but it is novel in
that it follows the romance
through the lives of the principals.
From youth through old age and
to death, one experiences the joys
and troubles of these people so
terribly in love, yet drawn away
from one another. It wrings your
heart mercilessly, but you like it
because it’s drama and life and
romance. We just had to mention
! it.
* * *
Today “Private Lives,” with Nor
ma Shearer and Robert Montgom
ery, opens at the Colonial. It is
the story of a divorced couple who
marry others and honeymoon at
the same hotel—yea, and even
I take suites which face on the same
I balcony. They meet again and
\ make up the quarrel which has
parted them. Then they quarrel
again. It’s a farce on the trials
and tribulations of married life.
The exquisite beauty of
our wedding rings is
rivalled only by their
smart style! Iii plati

diamonds of the first

The Ape Man
Johnny Weissmuller, the Adonis

swinging through the branches of
the McDonald theatre jungle to
day, and will continue to make
, love by means of a bath of love in
the crystal clear jungle pool
through tomorrow night.
There’s a little moek in this
show who rivals his human con
temporaries for acting ability, but
Maurene O’Sullivan, Neil Hamil

ahead of him. All Weissmuller
has to do is stand up and look
pretty. And does he look pretty?

Lindbergh, Wife
Urge Necessity of
Silence Secrecyj
Police Officials Refuse To
Answer Questions on
New Contacts
HOPEWELL, N. April 14—|
(AP>—The veil of secrecy which
was lifted a hit recently to dis
close portions of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh's unsuccessful ransom
negotiations, was suddenly and
perhaps significantly, reimposed
late today.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
state police superintendent, said
he had been requested not to an
swer questions about “contacts
established or re-established” with
the kidnapers because publication
of such facts “would probably in
terfere with negotiations.”
Today's reference to the "re
establishment of contacts” was in
terpreted as referring to the at
tempt of Dr. John F. Condon, 72
year-old educator, to get in com
munication again with the man to
whom he paid the $50,000 ransom
April 2 in the shadow of a Bronx
cemetery.
Dr. Condon was asked if he
thought the kidnapers local men
because they seemed so familiar
with that section of New York
and he replied:
“I can’t answer yes or no, but I
want to tell you we are fighting
the shrewdest band ever organ
ized in the United States.”
Colonel Henry Breckenridge,
Lindbergh’s attorney, appeared to
consider the discovery of one of
the ransom bills in New York last
week so important a clue he held
a long conference with New York
police.
Police Commissioner Mulrooney
announced that at the lawyer’s
request, detectives would attempt

^Red
Flannels
and Bed Warmers
have gone . . .
TIME WAS when the winter season brought out the old
red flannels, the bed warmers — and a switch fron'
fresh, crisp foods to hot, heavy dishes.
We’ve said good-bye to flannels and warming pans —
thanks to modern steam-heated homes, closed cars and
well-heated schools. However, a lot of folks still think
that cool weather makes it necessary to eat heavy foods.
• But a change is taking place here too. More people
every day are enjoying crisp, ready-to-serve cereals like
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. And what a delightful difference
it makes! Meals as crisp as summer itself! Delicious
and healthful.
Try Kellogg’s tomorrow for
breakfast. Enjoy tliem with milk
or eream ami sliced bananas. Splen
did for a bedtime snack. These
crunchy flakes are so easy to di
gest they encourage restful sleep.
Get your favorite eating place to
brighten the menu with Kellogg's.
