Mr. and Mrs. M. A., Beltaire, Jr., of

Miss Morley is a graduate of Kings-
wood, and attended Connecticut Col-1
lege for W6men and the University.
She is a member of Collegiate Sor-
osis. The wedding is planned for'
September.
An event of Aug. 3 will be the wed-
Play Production threw one of its much talked of traditional picnics
Friday night after the show. A self-appointed committee NOT given
powers by any Department, Board in Control, Summer School Office, or
any other power there-of planned the whole affair. Hot dogs and other
nourishing things of liquid form which make any gathering more friendly
but which cannot be mentioned explicitly in
this column were generously distributed. All
in all it was a howling success. Speaking of
howling, Ed Pascoe was rendering selections
to the whole bunch in his lovely (?) tenor
voice. Peg Wiseman, Art Klein, Isa Itkin, Bill
Kinzer, Mary Jordan, and, oh yes, Johnny
Schwarzwalder were some of the enthralled
listeners. Evidence of the generosity of the
portions of hot dogs (with all the trimmings,
etc.) was made clear the next day by such
remarks as, "You know, I don't feel so hot today . . . that picnic last

night ... !
Crowds Cater I
To Cut " ...
Less hardy souls who didn't feel up to picnicking in the wilds of Loch
Alpine in the winter weather Friday night or who weren't in the select
bunch asked to attend, satisfied their appetites with watermelon at the
much-heralded watermelon cut. Though it was kinda cold for that sort
of feast, mobs of people turned out and ate the juicy fruits (or are they
vegetables?) with relish. Tom Todd did the cuttin' honors in great style
and sort of spread around that Southern
hospitality we hear so much about way
up here in the North. He called out
states and we found that Dave Cox, Lo-
wel Perkins and Don Thomas were all
from Virginia, Dick Lyons from Tennes-
see, and Jane Williams and Jake Evar s
from Kentucky. As we wove around th crowd saying "Honey chile and
yo-all" we noticed that we weren't the only fakers . . . but it was all in
good fun and we think it's a wonderful idea.
Southern night followed in the League Ballroom after the cut. Dancing
to soft music and giving all the pretty gals a big rush were Bill Leeder and
Jim Martin. We also saw Peg Whitker and Pete Antonelli talking over
something serious. Saturday night, to sort of balance things up, a new
custom was started with a "Yankee Night" which also drew a big crowd
and will probably be repeated next year. Patricia Holmes and Jim Atwood
seemed to be enjoying the whole idea.
Picnics 'n Parties
Even though dancing has its charms picnicking and swimming seem
S to be the most popular summer pastimes for most
r everybody. Jane Carey Cristoe, Bill Harrison, Ginny
Drury and Jack Engel were seen cooling off in icy
water. And Sunday out at Waterloo Park we sneaked
up and saw Hazel Jensen, Paul Nielsen, Doug Miller,
Bob and Fee Wurstee swimming, playing baseball,
and, if you can believe it, "Puss in the Corner" too.
Second childhood, we guess!
There's always a party of some sort down at one
of our favorite taverns. Flautz (adv.) Wednesday
night, over our beer mug, we saw one composed of two charming ladies and
four handsome men (we certainly hope we get an A out of this!) The party
was composed of Jack Weimer, Bill Halstead, Nancy Bowman, Jack O'Neill,
Joe Conlin and Mrs. Conlin (the lovely Mary Pray), who all seemed to be
having a swell time. Not to show favoritism to any of the downtown haunts
we might mjention that there are always parties at the Pretzel Bell (adv.)
too. Saturday night Peg Schiller, Bob Rittenour, Marion Conde and Kip
King were seen making merry.
We almost forgot to mention the Tea Dance this week, which would be
an awful error because it was lots of fun. The general theme was autograph
hunting and the idea was to get the autographs of as many people as you
could. Several dancers seemed very adept at obtaining signatures, and the
final honors went to Lila Foster for the gals and John Por for the fellows.
Even though they didn't win, Jeanne Crump and Walter
Johnson were standing around looking very happy about
something. Helen Zimmerman, Ruth Streelman, who had "'
charge of the dance, and Mary Ellen Wheeler were buzzing . .
around dancing with lots of the handsome stags.
At Sportsman Park Friday night Norm Schorr was
seen chatting with Jack Dempsey (those Daily men really'
know the right people). In the same party were Barb
DeFries, Jo Ann Clement, Allan Kornfeld, and Peter
Condliffe, all taking in the fights.

This chic ensemble is just the
thing to wear on the beach. In it
you will feel cool and carefree and
ready to participate in all the

quarter length sleeves on this
smart cardigan jacket add the
final touch of sophistication when
worn over full white shorts.
"How soon will man find wisdom
in his heart and build everlasting
shelter against his fears?"; this ques-
tion introduces "The Mortal Storm"
in which man finds himself today.
James Stewart powerfully portrays
Martin Breitner, a man who stands
for freedom and liberty and has the
courage to uphold his own convic-
tions against overwhelming odds of
Naziism. Margaret Sullavan is cast
as Fraya, the daughter of an eminent
physiologist, Frank Morgan. She
too symbolizes ideals which conflict
with those of the German high-
power.
The setting is a small village at the
foot of the Alps and the year is 1933.
A soft, complacent voice speaking
through a haze of feathery clouds sets
the mood of the play in revealing the
lack of freedom ix thought and action
which exists in many countries to-
day.
At a dinner celebrating an anni-
versary of the professor, the news
that Hitler has been granted dicta-
torial powers interrupts the congen-
iality of the members of the party
and the audience is immediately con-
scious of a developing tension which
will eventually bring about family
strife. Fraya's two brothers and her
fiance, Fritz, (Robert Young) join
the Nazi faction and antagonism
springs up between them and Mar-
tin.
The professor writes a treatise in
physiology which the Nazis condemn
as seditious. Therefore he is im-
prisoned in a concentration camp,
finally dying there a victim of in-
justice. Martin after aiding a fugitive
over the border into the Austria, re-
turns home only long enough to res-
cue Fraya. They attempt to reach
the Austrian boundary by skiing over
an arduous mountain pass. A Ger-
man Patrol, led by Fritz, follows
them, killing Fraya but allowing Mar-
tin to escape. The final dramatic
scene shows one of Fraya's brothers
in an overwrought state becauseof
the death of his sister and permits
the theatre-goers to determine whe-
ther he remains true to the Nazi
cause or forsakes them for Martin's
ideals.
Three excellent features of "The
Mortal Storm" are the beautiful set-
tings, the meaningful flashbacks and
the use of a haunting voice to open
and close the play. The cast was
well chosen " with the exception of
Robert Young who did not seem to
be as deeply in character as the oth-
ers. Maria Ouspenskaya as Hilda
Breitner turns out her usual capable
performance and we feel that she
was the only one for this part. It is
a stirring, emotional drama. It
truthfully portrays German life un-
der Nazi oppression.
