Campus Drama Players Give
Diverting and Skillful Comedy
	 <8>	
By GENE HACKETT
It is seldom that a college dramatic organization produces a play which a reviewer may indulge in superlatives over without fearing for the loss of his immortal soul. There is no doubt that the Marquette Players' presentation of A Character Intrudes, Wednesday night on the Marquette High school stage, was just such an occasion.
The old bromide, "It's the play!" went by the boards, for it was more the players than their vehicle which merited applause. Faced with the task of presenting to a college audience a comedy pure and simple, (often too simple) the cast as a whole, and Miss Ruth Klein the director, deserved the ovation accorded them by the audience.
Play is Fantastic Comedy
A Character Intrudes was rightly 'labeled as a fantastic comedy. Charles Costello, the author, who attended the showing by the way, chose as his setting a room in the old Bennett mansion, where Bradley Bennett wrote his highly successful plays. Bradley has been away from home for six months as the play opens, honeymooning in Europe with his society bud wife. In the old room, undisturbed since he left it, is the almost-finished manuscript of his latest play, and his four characters: Larkin, Marion, Jerry and Hebers, who have been awaiting the return of. "the Master" so that they might live again.
These characters, who are nothing more than embodiments of Bradley's imaginings, open the scene with a conversation intended to inform the audience as to just what is what concerning their place in the scheme. They speak unnaturally, move stiffly, and serve to create atmosphere. They are a clever touch by the author;-it was rather sad that someone who ,iad read on the program that the play was a comedy should choose to jiggle from curtain to curtain. Sic transit audiences, however.
Use Same Scene
Only one scene is used throughout the three acts, variations being accomplished through clever lighting effects. Accentuating the different parts of the room as occasion demanded served as a successful substitute as well as a novel one for the usual moving about of properties.
The plot deals with Bennett's re
turn to his old home, his desire to finish his play so that he may ward off financial disaster both for himself and Scheuyler, the old German grocer, and the various interruptions which almost frustrate his plans. It is these interruptions which provide the comedy, and also the tragedy, when Bradley Bennett's wife leaves him. Bradley eventually gets his work finished, of course, boots the (Continued on Page 8)
Propose New Dental Class
Pre-Junior Course to Begin Second Semester If Sufficient Number Registers
Provided a sufficient number of students apply and qualify for admission to the pre-junior class in the Dental school, a beginning class will be enrolled at the start of the second semester.
Applications for this proposed class will be accepted up to and including Wednesday, Jan. 25. A matriculation fee of $10 must be paid at the time of application and is not returnable if the course is offered. If, because of a lack of registrations, the course is not offered, the applicant will be notified promptly and his money refunded.
According to the plan of instruction, students enrolling in this proposed class will receive the regular first semester courses. During a 12 week summer session, beginning June 12 and ending Sept. 2, the student will complete all his second semester courses except Anatomy 3, which he will take during a six week summer session in 1934.
The student who begins his dental course at the next semester and attends these summer sessions, may qualify for graduation in June, 1935 instead of in 1936 as he would if he waited until September to enter the Dental school.
Students may register until Feb. 10, but all arrangements for registration, including the submission of the college record and payment of (Continued on Page 8)
Opposing Force Too Strong for Old Combine
Broderick is Winner by 162 to 143; Other Candidates Score Overwhelming Victories
King Broderick, Informal Chair-
man Finkbeiner, and All-University
Junior Class President Doyne-here
is one half of
Marquette university's 1933 Prom
royalty elected
Monday night at
the annual Junior
class elections.
In a balloting
that lacked the
closeness of a
year ago, the Big
Three- composed
of the Law and
Medical schools
and the College of
E n g i n e e ring-
went down to. a
crushing defeat,
and a consolidation of other departments of the
University combined with a dissenting faction in the Medical school
swept its entire ticket into office.
Tragic Losers
For the first time in years the Big Three and its traditional supporter, Kappa Beta Gamma sorority, will be without a place in the sun next February.
Marquette's 1933 informal Prom will be held Feb. 22 and the formal two days later. Committees in charge of the affairs will be announced in the near future. The informal is being revived this year after a year's absence from the University social calendar, the Union board having decided to reestablish the event at one of its meetings last fall.
The race for formal king between Edward Krumbiegel and Clifford Broderick, both of Milwaukee and both students in the Medical school, was the closest of the night, Broderick winning over the Big Three candidate, 162 to 143. There was a considerable switch in the rest of the voting which further weakened the coalition.
George L. Finkbeiner, Listowel, Ontario, Can., Dental student, rolled up the largest margin in winning the informal chairmanship from Donald Elliott, Milwaukee, the Law candidate. The vote was 173 to 126.
No Nominating Speeches
Almost as convincing was John Doyne's election as all-University class president, the Gary,. Ind., Business Administration student getting 167 votes to his opponent's, Earl Thomson, 122. Thomson, a native of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Can., was representing the Engineers.
An interesting note in the Monday election was the dispensing of nominating speeches. When Noel Fox, Muskegon, Mich., last year's all-University junior class president who was in charge of the meeting, announced that nominating speeches were in order, speakers on each side held back apparently waiting for their opponents to give the first talk. After a few moments, Fox ordered the ballots to be cast. According to a ruling of the Union board, names of candidates had been filed at the Union a week previous.
Franklins
Hold Oratorical Contest
The annual oratorical contest for members and apprentices of the Franklin club will be held at the next regular meeting in the School of Speech on Friday, Dec. 9, at 3 p.m.
Up to the present time 10 entries have been accepted and more are expected before Friday. Benjamin M. Holstein, sophomore in the College of Liberal Arts, was the winner last year.
Guest speakers have been secured for a banquet to be given at .the Union on Thursday, Dec. 15-
