<■ Ike. eute»uzk Review of The Heiress'
(Continued from page hvo)
enchanting woman who does hex- best to see
that Miss de Havilland, a drab little heiress,
finds love and happiness.
Clift, a fortune hunter, woes and almost
wins the heiress by showing her affection
which she had never before received from a
man. But a suspicious father threatens to cut
the inheritance, and Clift leaves the disillu
sioixed girl after he learns she won’t have
nearly the money he had planned on getting.
The father dies, the girl receives her full
inheritance, and several years after an unsuc
cessful venture in California, Clift comes
back. But this time it is the hen-ess who de
cides to do the jilting.
While this story may sound rather depres
sing, the film is far from a discouraging trag
edy. It is too full of life to be only dismal or
only sad or only gay or only pleasant. It has
everything—humor and despair, kindness
and cruelty.
With a good story, a good cast to the point
of having the maid played by Vanessa Brown
and featured players including Selena Royal,
and fine direction this picture could hardly
miss.
It simply is thoroughly enjoyable.
'Thunder Rock' Cast
To Begin Rehearsals
“Thunder Rock,” Robert Ard
rey’s drama of a lonely lighthouse
keeper who resurrects the dead to
keep him company, goes into re
hearsal this week, the second pro
duction of the University Theater
1949-50 season.
The three-act drama will be pre
sented Feb. 3, 4, 8, 9, and 10.
In the role of the lighthouse
keeper, Charleston, is Don Van
Boskirk. Charleston finds that the
staff of the lighthouse, played by
Harold Smith and Bob Peterson,
isn’t companionable enough for
him so he reaches into the past and
brings to life in his own mind, the
people who lost their lives in the
sinking of a ship in Lake Michi
gan some years earlier.
It’s only when Charleston finds
that he is to leave his lighthouse,
Thunder Rock, and return to the
mainland, that the situation gets
out of hand. The “resurrected”
people want to go with him and
only Captain Joshua, played by
Ken Neal, realizes that this is not
possible.
Supporting Van Boskirk in the
production, directed by Ottilie T.
Seybolt, professor of speech, are
Bob Morton as Briggs, Faber De
Ghaine as Dr. Kurtz, Grace Hoff
man as Melanie, Louise Clouston
as Miss Kirby, Joan Landman as
Anne Marie, and Don Doak as
Cassidy.
William E. Schlosser, technical
director, has completed a model of
the set for the show and the scene
and shop crews will begin con
struction soon. The three-act dra
ma will make use of but one set,
which will be the interior of the
lighthouse.

Stage Production
Needs Amazons
According to mythology, there
was once a race of women who
were masters of a land which
might be called Amazonia.
These women were reported to
have been very beautiful, very
shapely and very tall, and had all
the characteristics which modern
day women want, perhaps should
have.
The days of the Amazon women
are long past, but for just a short
while, the University Theater
would like to recreate the scene in
its production of “The Warrior’s
Husband.”
There may be more beautiful,
taller, and more shapely women on
the campus than those who have
shown up so far for “The Warrior’s
Husband” tryouts, but the Uni
versity Theater has to be shown.
Last chance for roles in the
production is 7:30 Thursday night,
in room 104 Villard when Director
Horace W. Robinson will make the
final casting for the Amazon com
edy.

Baldwin Back
From Korea Trip
E. M. Baldwin, assistant profes
sor of geology, has returned to the
University from a five-month stay
in. Korea.
While in Korea, Dr. Baldwin
studied coal fields and the prob
lem of electric power. He is inter
ested mainly in the economic re
covery of Korea.
Coal fields had to be developed
in order to have steam generating
plants in the southern part of the
country. When Korea was recently
divided, power was shut off in the
southern section. There is an abun
dance of electrical power in north
Korea.
Dr. Baldwin reported that some
factories are now producing, and
that power out-put has risen, but
not to the desired amount.
The work was done in connec
tion with the economic coopera
tion administration, which has
taken over from the military gov
ernment in Korea.
Film Club Offers

the film medium; and “Entr’acte”
by Rene Clair and Francis Picabia.
