Guild Show
Broadway Hit
The first play in the University
Guild series, ‘‘Three Cornered
Moon,” will introduce to Eugene
audiences the Rimplegars of
Brooklyn.
This is the eccentric and whim
sical family which rates with the
Vanderhoffs in ‘‘You Can’t Take
It With You" as the most amaz
ing group of characters to ap
pear the last few years.
Elizabeth Rimplegar, with her
mother, brothers, and two suit
ors captured the hearts of Broad
way play-goers and made its au
thor famous.
Now the University theater will
present Jean Person, Dorothy
Durkee, Robert Weston, Dave
Zilka, Alan Foster, Chuck Boice,
and Dick Turner in their inter
pretation of these mad-cap roles.
One change in the original cast
arrangement is to be made in the
Guild version. What formerly
took two women to do will be at
tempted by Pat Howard single
handed. She will play Jenny, the
Rimplegar’s foreign and none too
articulate maid, and also broth
er Kenneth’s touch and go fian
cee, Kitty.
Special privilege tickets are
still available at the drama divi
sion in Johnson hall for the per
formances which are scheduled
to follow Armistice day.
