Guild Players Open Season As its first offering in the sea son of Guild products, the Univer sity theater will present a hare brained comedy, “Three Cornered Moon,” by Gertrude Tonkonogy. Opening night will come imme diately following Armistice day. The play originally scheduled, James Thursber’s “The Male Ani mal,” was canceled because of its withdrawal from amateur re leases, according to Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, director of drama. "Three Cornered Moon” was greeted with lavish applause from the critics. Its first night show ing prompted the New York Her ald-Tribune to comment that it was “a frisky hop-skip and jump affair” leaping blithely from farce to comedy, from satire to sentiment. The play strikes a bright, gid dy note in the drab mood of to day, just as it did on its opening night several years ago.
