VOLUME XLIX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE FRIDAY. MARCH 5, 1948 NUMBER 100 ---—--—-—-—-—-— 'Dover Road' Offers Humor, Pleasant Diversion By LeJEUNE GRIFFIFTH A pleasant diversion for exam harrassed students opened its six night run on the guild stage Thurs day night. “The Dover Road,” un der the direction of Ottilie T. Sey bolt, is a gay comedy concerning the efforts of a philanthropic mil lionaire with a bitter memory of an unhappy family life to help oth ers avoid the troubles brought on by hasty marirages. Mr. Latimer (Bob Over) was a delightful, sometimes pixie-like, old man who shows Leonard (Dick Rayburn) and Anne (Grace Hoff man) that it is one thing to elope romantically and quite another thing to face the other at break fast. Rayburn was excellent as the stuffy, blustering Leonard, and Miss Hoffman's Anne was charm ing. Their first two lines as they entered were so British as to be almost unintelligible. During the m first act Anne's accent faded until, only the broad ‘'A”s remained, while Leonard's accent fluctuated throughout. The “H" was missing in the pronunciation of “hotel,” which is generally a Cockney rath er than high-born English manner. Don Smith as the cool, imper turbable Dominic, was a pleasure to watch. Special mention of the maids (Doreen Pitcher and Jean' ' Anderson ) is due for their unob trusive, careful handling of the ser ing. Act two introduced the complica tion of Eustacia (Nina Sue Fer nimen), Leonard's wife, and her sweetheart Nicolas (Gerald Lun dy), who arc also heading for Do ver and hence to France. Eustacia, the fussing, baby-talk ing wife, was admirably interpret ed by Miss Fernimen. Her crying scene had the audience roaring. Lundy as Nicolas was a little woof!-’ en in his first major role on the University stage. Unlike the other actors, Lundy’s accent increased as the play progressed. The play was a trifle slow at times, but not uncomfortably so. Latimer’s mimicry of Leonard at breakfast was extremely pleasant comedy. Attention to details were noticeable throughout the play, as (Please turn to page three) Student Congress Convenes PNCC Delegates Hear Paus-Grunt At First Session College students should be given a thorough knowledge of the work ing of the United Nations, Prof essor Olav Ftaus-Grunt of Norway told delegates to the Pacific Northwest College congress Wed[ nesday.
