Women Invade Police Station, 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. By DE]BSHARVEY 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.
