The plot con cerns the lives of two brothers who are involved in an accident which is labeled murder. D. E. Hargis, instructor in speech and director of the players, said the play was one of the most difficult attempted thus far, this being true not only from the dra matic standpoint, but from the technical side of production which involves numerous sound effects. ^ These include wind and rain storms, a hunt scene in an English countryside, a ballroom scene, a drowning, gun shots, and a crack ling fire. The leading roles are portrayed by Dolph James, Freeman Patten, and Lillian Davis, the latter being a new addition to the radio theater group. The dramatic presentation will be followed by a quarter hour of music featuring Howard Jones, student cellist.

"The Arms and the Man” was not the first drama written by this rugged individualistic white-beard ed old gentleman. His three previous plays, how ever, were more or less social com j ments and it is doubtful whether [ they’ve ever been produced.
