men are actively engaged in promot-
ing the Cabaret.

Local Homes For Properties
Set-Up Of General Store
Is Scene Of New Play
By MAYA GRUHZIT
A door slammed. There was a
stricken silence within as the sound
of a starting car was heard through
the rattle of wind. Finally the motor
caught and, through shots of thun-
der, the sound of the powerful motor
was heard receding in the distance.
The audience of children stared
breathlessly; but backstage at the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre no one
had time to waste on holding one's)
breath. The property girls on the1
play were having minor hysterics of1
their'own. Wind machines, recordsj
of cars starting, tin cansburliap bags1
and more tin cans-mild hysterics, in-
deed.
Play Production Haunted
j For weeks, in preparation of set-
ting up a general store in a small
town for the play, "Thanksgiving at
Buckram's Corners," written by Rich-s
ard McKelvey, Grad., director ofJ
Children's Theatre, the women on
the properties committee have been
haunting Play Production, the local
police department, and every drug
store and grocery store in town. By-1
standers in the League lobby have1
been astounded at the sight of young1
women carrying armloads full of-
empty tin cans, .fully labelled, up'
from. the kitchen.)s
Local housewives in Ann Arbor havel
been having nightmares about theirI
kitchens being practically empty af-
ter the onslaught of Leaguers. The"
University storehouse and Building,
and Grounds offices are also going.
batty trying to decide which of thep
two should undertakes to pick up
barrels and packing case, and old
tires and more barrels.
"Prop-er's Paradise"
In fact, this play is a Prop-er's.
Paradise. Ten shelves, each eight
feet long, have to be filled with
canned goods, cigar boxes, all kinds
of display advertising, candy, horse
whips, boots, incubators, and stacks
of potatoes. In fact, if you have
ever seen a general store about 300
miles north of Ann Arbor, about 10
or 20 miles out from even the smallest
kind of a town; you can get the most.
perfect idea of this store. It con-
tains things from the year 1800, any-
thing that could be used during the
four seasons of the year, and all those
things which no one could ever use
anytime.
Anq, of course, sound effects al-
ways enter at this point. The gang-t
sters are all set to make their 'get
away,' but if someone misplaces that1
record or even dares * to drop it,
calamity falls and one would never
know if they got away or not.r
Properties Are Essential
If the snows refuses to fall
scraps of paper to the uninitiated
. or if the wind machine or the
thunder sheet fail to react properly
to'- an inspired weather man, then
the actors could carry rain coats and
umbrellas and the audience still
would never know 'if it were raining
outside:
Cue, there. More snow . . . in two
lines the thunder. And a door
slammed. There was stricken silence
within as the sound of a starting car
was heard through the rattle of wind.
Just the properties committee on a
rampage.

Misplaced a floor mop lately? Been
wondering where your hatchet went?
Room 2, University Hall is the place
to look for them, for these are only
two of a hetergeneous collection of
articles which have accumulated in
the Lost and Found Department
'there.
Estimated at more than $200 in
value, and including almost every
imaginable possession of a college
student, the collection fills a closet,
a shelf and six large drawers. Each
article bears a neat white tag iden-
tifying it and giving the name and
address of its finder and the time
and place where it was found.
Gloves are the most easily mis-
placed possession of the college stu-
dent, for a survey indicates that 40,
pairs have been found as well as 15
assorted mateless gloves. Books run
a close second, the Lost and Found
boasting 36 of them with a spread of
14 different departments of study.
It is significant that all but one of.
the departments represented are in
the literary college, substantiating
the old claim that the literary col-
lege is the 'pipe' school of the Uni-
versity.
Tops in unpopularity among text
books is an English book named.
"Essays of Three Decades." It is
suspected that students are deliber-
ately mislaying this volume, for four
copies, all in good condition, have
been turned in recently, and to date
not a single inquiry has been made
about them.
Dance Date Is Postponed
The League House women's tea
dance which was to have been held
today in conjunction with WAA has
been postponed until after Christmas
vacation, Laya Wainger, 41, presi-
dent of the League Houses, an-
nounced. The date will be set later
and the dance will be field in the,
League ballroom.
