'Theatre’ Revives ’Ten Nights’ Epic By Shirley Anderson Opening a seven-night showing [ in the Very Little theater at the I fairgrounds Saturday is "Ten Rights in a Bar Room,” a revival of the'famous old melodrama. The play is under the direction of George Hebert, who had consid erable dramatic experience with the Portland Civic theater before coming to Eugene. Curtain-time is 8 p.m. for the moral drama, written in much the same vein as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” pointing out the curse of drink and the evil effects of over-indulgence. Written in a serious tone and played straight, the play is bound to receive varied interpretations. The plot of the play deals with the regeneration of a drunkard, while an enterprising innkeeper falls prey to the undermining in fluences surrounding him and yields to the temptations of drink. The costumes for the drama fol low the styles of the Gay Nineties | era, made authentic through per ' -pftal contributions and donations. 1 Brown. of the University fCo-op store, and Gretchen Parker are in charge of the costuming for the play and for the five olio acts which will be given as entertain ment between each scene. The songs and dances continuing the action between curtains are di rected by Gene Edwards. In keeping with the VLT tradi tion, coffee will be served free of charge at intermission. Tickets for the melodrama are on sale at the Willamette street market. Beer Well Regulated Dean Earl Declares The following quotations were given by the United Press Thurs day regarding the application for abegr license by the College Side IrfiTsVirgil D. Earl, dean of men, declared, “Just closing one place near the campus doesn’t solve the problem. We’ve got things regu lated fairly well. If- the person is of legal age the question is one for him to decide.” Officials in the police depart ment said, “It’s probably better if the students don't have beer near them, although there is no prob lem.” Paramount BAR BELLS and up Buy Direct From Factory Write for Free Catalogue and Price List INDEPENDENT IRON WORKS 2416-40 E. 23rd St. LOS ANGELES 11, CALIF.

Pilot Group Backs Seniority Protection The Oregon branch for dis charged military pilots has recent ly been formed and elected Calvin W. Sargent, former ATC lieuten ant, as its head. The Military Pilots association was established last November and is now banded throughout the country. Its pur pose is to establish and protect the seniority rights of discharged mili tary pilots. At present military pilots receive no rating for time spent in flying while in the service, according to Sargent. While both military and civilian pilots were doing the same jobs during the war, he declared, civilians were the only ones re ceiving credit towards seniority. Sargent, a Eugene resident, was discharged from the service last Saturday. He has been in the army since 1942 and with the airlines a year and a half. At present he is instructor for the Chenault Flying Club at the Eugene airport. This club has been established since June 1945. Sargent can be contacted at his home at 1825 Onyx street, tele phone 1953-M, or the Eugene air port, telephone 4067-M.
