"funny papers" were portrayed in
typical situations. One of these de-
picted Tarzan, the Apeman, carry-
ing Mosher-Hall dormitory on his

Clifford Odets, last year an un-
known, today one of America's fore-
most young playwrights, is the author
of "Waiting for Lefty," one of the two
plays being produced March 18-214
in the Lydia Menaeissohn Theatre by'
Play Production.
Mr. Odets is a young American
playwright who does not believe in
art for art's sake, and instead uses

writing in which he aims to present

which he lives. Mr. Odets writes
