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

Posies Tour in
Working in "Tovarich" has its
happier side, however. Trudy
Harland’s dressing room was
filled -with flowers last night, and
Dorothy Durkee received her sec
