Fete Mothers
New Heads
Appointed
Shimshak, Foster
Named Chairmen
Of New Committees
Jack Shimshak, business ad
ministration junior, was named
promotion head, and Norman
Foster, journalism sophomore,
hospitality chairman of Mothers’
Weekend, May 10-12, by Majeane
Glover, general chairman of the
affair.
The hospitality committee is a
last minute innovation due to the
necessity of arranging a campus
tour for the mothers. Present
plans for the weekend call for
this tour to take place Saturday
afternoon, May 11. The tentative
program has been arranged by
the committee and will be an
nounced as soon as all arrange
ments have been made.
Marge MacLean, in charge of
the banquet, announced that only
550 tickets will be issued, and
that when these are gone no more
may be obtained. This is neces
sary because of the limited seat
ing capacity of the men’s dormi
tory dining room, scene of the
banquet.

Guild Hall Players Score
Hit in 'Idiot’s Delight’ as
Helene Parsons, Smith Star
God sat “up there” playing solitaire (idiot’s delight). And down
below nations were being bombed- and Irene (Helene Parsons) and
Harry Van (Gerry Smith) sang “Onward Christian Soldiers” while
debris fell about them.
Thus did Robert Sherwood end his biting denouncement of war,
“Idiot’s Deliaht.” Dresented to a first nieht audience last nierht.
Rather slow starting because of
the many characters to introduce,
the Pulitzer prize play comes to
a stunning climax in a period of
dead silence following the fiery
outburst of Quillery (Jerry Lake
fish) denouncing the Italians for
bombing Paris. Apropos to the
times is this play for, as one
member of the audience put it, it
is almost what is happening
today.
While the play revolves around
the romance of Irene and Harry,
much of the background and
thought behind the course of the
plot came from the little Com
munist (Jerry Lakefish) whose
determination to put into words
what the rest of the characters
were thinking led him to his
death.
Interjected at just the right
times to relieve that “sunk” feel
ing one gets at moments (such
as early this week) when wars
are declared and cities are being
devastated was the comedy relief
of chorines. Tops in this depart
ment was the “Korn-Fed Katie
From Kokomo” routine with Pat
Taylor in the “starring” role and
Gerry Smith, Trudy Harland, and
Donna Row. This was written by
Wilfred Roadman and Gerry
Smith. Trudi also sang another
catch tune written by Roadman.
Other comedy relief was furnished
by Adrian Martin as the nervous
Pittaluga.
So realistic were the sound ef
fects that at first the air raid
warnings gave rise to specula
tion as to where the accident or
fire might be. Coming unexpect
edly, the actual raid found many
slightly upset for a minute.
Regardless of whether or not
the last bit of paint was dry when
the curtain went up, the pains
taking care Horace Robinson and
members of the drama depart
ment took with the set in deep
blues and reds and white drew
appreciative reactions from the
audience.
Others in the cast include: Jiro
Davidson, Jim Bronson, David
Manning, Adrian Martin, Ray
Dickson, Parker McNeil, Dick
Clark, Bettie Jane Quigley, Ger
ald T. Smith, Trudy Harland,
Donna Row, Jeanette Harbert,
Betty Fiksdal, Pat Taylor, Ken
neth Boyle, Ed Row, Jeiry Lake
fish, Helene Parsons, James Par
sons.
