Blonde Actress Tickled With Role By Marge Scandling It’s really a dilly,” says blonde ttina Sue Fernimen in egard to her latest University thea ter role as Lady Teazle in “School for Scandal,’’ which opens its si performance run tonight at 8 in the University theater. Actresses since the 19th century have vied for this part, according to Nina Sue, who describes Lady Teazle as “just as teasing and co quettish as her name implies, but lovable just the same.” As the exuberant Lady Teazle, who before her marriage to the blustering Sir Peter Teazle was just a counry girl, Nina Sue will wear three 19th-century style cos tumes, complete with bustle and platinum-blonde wig. One of the dresses, a vivid yellow taffeta with a collar of pearls, gives Sir Peter ample cause to accuse his wife of being overly extravagant. The play’s settings are described by Nina Sue as “one of the finest jobs I’ve ever seen.” Over thirty complex and highly-painted flats make up the complete set. Before she began acting on the University theater stage, Nina Sue was in many grade and high school productions. “I’ve always liked act ing, and have taken part in every thing I could get my fingers into.” She recalls a play called “Drums of Death” in which she played a mulatto girl. The make-up depart ment had considerable difficulty in concerting her hair from blonde to black. After various dyes had failed, they resorted to covering her hair with a bright red bandan na, which she says she still can’t forget. NINA SUE FERNIMEN "School for Scandal” will be Nina Sue’s last performance for the University theater, since this is her last term at the University. She has acted in over half a dozen plays, including “Liliom,” “Green Tickets for "School for Scan dal” are on sale today in the John son hall box office from 10-12, 1-5 WESTGATE'S Super Value_ Dresses — $10.00 Just arrived!
