A German Band, Green
Shorts Bring Genuine
Tyrolean Effect
By BETTY BINGRAM
Hold on to your caps, seniors, you're
in danger of losing your dignity to-
night when "Feather in His Cap"
opens for its first performance.
When the feathers start flying and
the German Band begins tootling
around and those bright green shorts
flash before your eyes you'll wish you
were in the Tyrolean Alps, gulping
beer and singing ditties. And instead,
you'll be balancing those be-tasselled
boards on your heads and bearing the
cares of the world on your shoulders.
But it's practically certain that be-
fore the plump Budel and his buxom
frau, Emma, find their troubles spir-
ited away in the last act, and the
curtain falls on the bevies of sing-
ing villagers and dancing legs, you'll
feel as carefree and light hearted as
any of the barimaid, or even the po-
licemen when they at last discovered
a crime to punish in the peaceful vil-
lage of Schlitz-am-Rye.
Not So Easy As It Looks '
But don't thing, in the thrill of
the moment that this smooth per-
formance is all done with mirrors or
any such mistaken belief. Sally Pierce
could tell a different story. And so
could Marie Sawyer and Hope Hart-
wig and Ruth Bertsch, who have all
been in a chronic state of hair tear-
ing for the past two weeks.
Take for instance the problems of
certain members of the discontented
band of policemen, who find life
much too tame, they complain to the
audience. In reality they are shud-
dering at the thought of having to
dash from the stage, erase from their
noses the tell-tale marks of the beer
they are forced to drink to drown
their sorrows, and change from beard-
ed gentlemen into beautiful young
sylphs. Even Dr. Jekyll might be
forgiven for turning pale at such a
feat.
Knees Present Problem.
And the make-up department has
spent many a sleepless night over the
vital problem of the perfect blend of
rouge for the scores of bare knees
that must be exposed to the brutal
glare of the stage lights. And one
begins to wonder, before the first
scene comes to a close, if a number of
outraged members of the poultry tribe
aren't sneaking about their respective
barnyards minus their tail feathers.
The whole effect, however, is a mass
of bright, moving colors, rollicking
music and robust humor. There is
something definitely. inebriating
about the cocky, Tyrolean bonnets
and flashing green and red shorts
and suspenders. The members of
the cast seem to have caught the
spirit and go into their parts with
much zest and good will, like true.
Tyroleans, "of the blood."
Here Comes The law
High points in the play include the
moment when Captain Allington.
looms up from behind the garden wall
and leads on her band of stalwart
and bloodthirsty officers of the law
with Sergeant Ayers a perfect ob-
struction to the military precision of
these worthy gentlemen. If you can
find an officer behind the array of
bristling mustaches, topping a row
of sturdy bare legs which is the po-
lice force of Schlitz-am-Rye, you can
cancel that appointment with your
eye doctor immediately.
Wall Scaling Is Easy
And don't have an attack of nerves
when Fritz scales the garden wall
in search of the fair Katinka. Shirl
Crossman has added this practice to
her other accomplishments and by]
now has the matter well in hand, let
it be hoped.
A few laurels may also be cast at
the feet of the remarkable steed who
conducts the coach of the would-be
elopers onto the scene. The beast is
of undetermined origin, but note the
dancing feet.
Last but not least, the author, Dor-
othy Gies, who won't be on hand to
see her masterpiece go into produc-
tion, deserves a long cheer and don't
forget Sally Pierce, whose seemingly
unquenchable spirit has been the
chief force in tiding over the darker
hours.
BOX OFFICE HOURS CHANGED

The initial step after buying your
spring wardrobe is to have your mon-
og ams inscribed on it.
The new tailored blouses have your
initials tucked neatly up in one cor-
ner, embroidered in some contrast-
ing color and in any of various kinds
of writing. If you are inclined to
favor the Oriental way of doing
things, you may have Chinese letters;
or if you're the very ultra modern,
you may obtain your letters in the
new stream-line manner.
No longer will it be possible for the
roommate to continually borrow your
sweater. Monograms are the best
protective insurance there is, and
they also will keep the absent-minded
boy friend from calling you Betty,
when the bold letter "J," standing
for Jane, is before him.
