IN LAST YEAR'S GUILD THEATRICAL TONIGHT The curtain on the University theater’s activity for 1940-41 will fall tonight, as the production, “Tovarich,” ends tonight. Appearing in prominent roles are these three student actresses. They are, from left, Bettie Jane Quigley, who plays the parts of Olga and 31. Van Hemert; Dorothy Durkee, Louise; and Jeanette Harbert, Helene Dupont. Czarists Sip Saskouska 'Tovarich5 Ends Run By JOANNE NICHOLS Between playing cards behind stage and attempting to keep an adequate supply of ‘‘saskouska’’ (Russian for gumdrops) to use in the cocktails scene, the stage crew of “Tovarich” is rather busy these last days of the play’s run. “Tovarich” will close tonight at 8 o’clock in the University theater under the direction of Mrs. Ot tilie T. Seybolt. Another of the stage crew’s worries is to get enough thumb tacks to pin up the ceiling in the garret and kitchen scenes. The drama division is now out of thumbtacks. Some Slips Members of the cast have their troubles, too. Betty Fiksdal’s dress is too long and she is afraid she will trip and fall down stairs. The padding Dorothy Durkee wears for her role as Louise, the cook, sometimes slips in a most embarrassing way. Jim Parsons, who played Gorot chenko in last week's perform ances and is playing Prince Mikail this week, had difficulty with the scar he wore on his cheek. The scar was held on with embalmer’s wax, which contains a very strong acid. The acid so irritated Parson's skin that after three days of rehearsal he was forced to shift the scar to the opposite cheek. Real Scars Parsons still has two scars on his cheeks, not artificial ones, but real ones induced by the irritat ing acid. Directions for applying the em balmer’s wrax read as follows: “First cut out the mangled tissue.” Parker McNeil, who plays So viet Commissar Gorotchenko this week, needs nearly two hours to apply his makeup, including the scar worn last week by Parsons. Incidentally, the drama division is running short of cold cream and Kleenex needed to remove the heavy makeup used in “To varich.” The men in the cast have to dodge and duck at the end of Act I when Prince Mikail and the Grand Duchess Tatiana drink a Russian toast and break the glasses by throwing them down YOU TOO— CAN TURN OUT PAPERS ‘ THAT THEY LIKE TO READ SURE, YOUR PROFS, AND, IF YOU TYPE THEM— RENT A TYPEWRITER—PUT IT TO WORK OFFICE MACHINERY & SUPPLY CO. 30 East 11th * • Phone 148 stairs into the men’s dressing room.
