Realism, Fantasy
Blended in 'Liliom'
By JEAN LAWRENCE
“Liliom,” Ferenc Molnar’s great
est dramatic work, reopens tonight
on -Guild hall stage after two highly
successful weekend performances.
Final performance, as now sched
^uled, will be Thursday, May 3.
A summary of the play shows
that it begins in a mood of stark
realism when Liliom, the carousel
barker, and Julie, the servant girl,
meet. It leads to the point where
Liliom, rather than go back to
work at the carousel, and faced
with the expectancy of Julie’s
child, attempts stealin gand pos
sible murder, to be caught and to
commit suicide rather than to fall
in the hands of the police.
After his death, the play be
comes sheer fantasy and takes
Liliom to a magistrate’s court in
heaven where he is sentenced to
15 years in the purging fire, after
which time he is allowed to return
-fed earth for one day to perform
just one good deed which will make
him worthy of attaining eternal
happiness.
Not a ‘Fleeting’ Play
It has been said that there is
more irony and more philosophy
and true human emotion in “Lil
iom” than can be found in the fleet
ing plays of the ordinary season.
Certainly it is true that “Liliom”
has greatly increased, rather than
diminished, in popularity since it
was written in 1908.
This University theater produc
tion is under the direction of
Horace W. Robinson. Giving vivid
dramatic potrayals of char
acter are Lewis Vogler, as Liliom;
and Phyllis Kiste and Mary Lee

spotlighted place in the window.
Beauty Doesn’t Count
“It isn’t the beauty, but the
number of bonds sold that will de
termine the winner of this con
test,” declared Margery Skordahl,
contest committee chairman, who
remarked that all girls who were
generous enough to loan their
cherished pictures will have the
photographs returned to them
promptly after the contest.

up boy because he keeps up my
morale,” the fololwing servicemen
have been chosen by the houses:

Freshman Pants to Paint Skinner 'O’

teams of freshmen and sophomores will battle to the finish in
a tug-of-war contest Saturday at 10 a.m. behind the music

building, instead of over the mill
race as in past years. The contest
will take place over a trench, three
feet deep and six feet wide. To
quote Chairman Hamilton, “It will
be filled with mud of a liquid va
riety, and the whole field will be
sprinkled generously all day Fri
day. Contestants may wear any
thing but tuxedos.”
All freshman boys whose names
appear In the Emerald either Tues
day, Wednesday, 'or Thursday for
violations of traditions are to meet
at the Side, Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

“In order to clarify the question
of ‘whether a veteran, who is em
ployed in outside employment while
pursuing a course of instruction in
an educational institution at which
his training is being received,
which employment has no bearing
on the course of education or train

II, Public Law No. 346, 78th Con

from a decision on the issue here
involved, rendered by the veterans
administration:
“ ‘Subsistence allowance is neith
er pension nor compensation. It is
a monetary allowance intended to
provide a person in receipt of edu

requiring the applicant to show

made to one who is gainfully em

will be applicable logically whether
