Theatre to Give
Play by O'Neill
"Desire Under the Elms," Eu
gene O’Neill play, will be pre
sented by the University Theatre
Keb. 22. 23, 27, 28, and March
1 and 2.
The play Is a tragedy dealing
with the power of passions, the
impressiveness of the characters,
and the tlmelessness of the in
r.er struggle between a son and
a father.
As an emotionalist, O'Neill is
concerned not with the sciences
that man must master with his
mind but with the crude elements
of nature that man must battle
with his arms. His subject deals
entirely with grim forces.
Mow does a play of this type
benefit the audience? Robert D.
Horn, professor of English feels
"the audience can be grateful to
Mr. Hinze and his able cast for
bringing back one of the best
plays of America's most power
ful dramatist. Produced in the
frenetic Twenties, "Desire Un
der tlie Elms" reflects the quali
ties of its era of lunging confu
sion."
The elms have receded to a
symbol; but desire is an earthly
urge that dominates both the
author and his creatures. We
can take one of two attitudes:
view the play as a specimen of
our dramatic coming-of-age, or
consider it as of the present, for
its pertinence, or even univer
sality.
"We feel the intensity of a
suffering that is of oui own rock
and soil and tough elmwood. And
from that tragic suffering we are
again made aware that character
is fate.”
Tickets are on sale at the U.T.
box office daily from 1. to 5 p.m.
or by calling ext. 401. All tickets
sell for $1.

after Fielding discovered them
at a private party.
The organizer of the group
was Gene Purling. He brought
Clark Burroughs, Bob Strasen
and Bob Morse together and in
their first year of singing the
group earned approximately
$5,000, Now their estimated an
nual income from night club
shows, personal appearances and
records is estimated' to be about
*75,000.
The quartet is famous for its
novelty arrangements. Often
they feature Clark Burroughs,
who can hit high G above mid

of the normal human voice.
The Hi-Lo’s have appeared at
Packs' in San Francisco, and
the Sahara Hotel in Fas Vegas.
