'School for Scandal' Outlet for Frustrated Gossipers; Play's Characters Scheme to Ruin Reputations By Barbara Hollands A must for everyone who likes good comedy is what Don Smith terms “School for Scandal,” the University theater’s forthcoming production which will open two weeks’ run. “The title is very appropriate,” commented Don, who will play one of the masculine leads in the play. “Scandal is definitely the keynote of the plot, and since every human being has indulged in gossip, the members of the audience will be able to associate themselves with the actors. The exaggerated situa tions and humorous lines give the play great audience appeal.” Don, a member of the Campbell club, and a sophomore enrolled in a pre-journalism course, in in a position to judge audience appeal. He appeared in four University theater productions last year, play ing roles in ‘‘Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Adding Machine,” “Dover Road,” and “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” He was active in the Little Theater group at Frank lin high school in Portland, and was also associated with the Jun ior Civic theater there. In 1946 Don attended the National High school Institute of Speech at Northwestern university, Evans ton, Illinois. “There are many unique charac terizations in ‘School for Scandal',” Don contnued “and the amusing names of the various characters add to their humor.” Don himself plays a straight part—that of Charles Surface, a gay, carefree, and rather wild young man. Not having heard of inflation, ap parently, the Treasury estimates the life of a dollar bill at nine to ton months.
