Trick with Time Provides
Comedy for 'Berkeley Square9
By Maxiae Bares
What happens when a man is set suddenly into the bosom of his
ancestor's home over a hundred years ago and falls in love with the
woman whom he simply could not have fallen in love -with, was the
plot of the play "Berkeley Square" presented by the Willamette
University Workshop Friday night at Salem High School auditorium.
The three-act Diay in which Robert Scott starred, will be re
peated at 8:15 tonight.
Even though we missed some
of the dialogue because of the
faintness of (all things) the men's
voices, interest was retained be
cause of the unique situation in
which the hero found himself.
Scott as Peter Standish did some
fine acting, especially in a scene
where he tells the 18th century
relatives what he thinks of Eng
land and its outmoded way of
life.
Barbara Burrier as Helen, the
girl of 1784 whom he could not
forget, was also excellently cast
as were John Kooy as the effemi
nate Mr. Throstle; Archie Schultz
as Thomas Pettigrew. Janie Ma
thers ar Kate Pettigrew and Mar
ion Sparks as Lady Pettigrew.
Other of the cast were Elea
nors Loveless, Harriet Ness, Joe
Power, Gloria Nandie, Marjorie
Guice, Lloyd Hanson, Addyse
Lane, Harry Ryan and Cart
Ritchie. Lloyd Jones directed the
play, Carl Ritchie designed and
produced the scenery.
Music was furnished by Betty
Kuhlmann, Geraldine Schmoker,
Catherine Schissler and Wallace
Bjorke.

GI Wecteran
Sweetheart
NEW YORK, Feb. lsp-Pfc.
William Patrick Cody was married
in New York tonight to the Iran
ian sweetheart he rejoined the
army to find.
A special parole from immigraX
tion authorities and a court waiver
of the 48-hour wait for a marriage
license made it possible for Cody,
29-year-old .Oregonian, to marry
Soghra Lavasani, 28, of Tehran.
Nearly three years ago Cody left
Iran, and when he got out of the
army he made arrangements to
bring Soghra here. Then he start
ed out looking for a "decent job.
He had got as far as California
when his mother, Mrs. Margaret
Ann Cody, of (312 A street. South)
Forest Grove, Ore., lost track of
him. Then she got a wire from
Soghra, who had arrived here De
cember 9 and was detained at El
lis Island.
Meanwhile Cody rejoined the
army, and then learned that his
fiancee was in this country.
He thought Soghra would have
to stay on Ellis Island until he
got $500 for her bond but an Im
migration social worker fixed it so
Soghra could get a parole, get
married and then enter the coun
try as a bride without bond.

Pleading Delayed
Richard Eoff. 48, was still un

time since he was discovered un
conscious in his cell on Monday
afternoon.
Eoff was scheduled to appear in
district court Friday afternoon for
entry of his plea on a charge of
assault with intent to kill, carrying
a deadly wapon, but the case was
postponed until next Friday pend
ing his recovery. His wife, who
was hospitalized the same day
from an over dose of the same
sleeping potion, was reported con
scious and "slightly improved" in
the same hospital.
