VINSEL NAMED WELFARE DIRECTOR
PLAYERS PRESENT
“IVORY DOOR” ON
CAMPUS TONITE
Thirty-Six Characters, Forty-Six
Costumes In A. A. Milne
Production
MISS EDWARDS HAS LEAD
The curtain rings up tonight on
A. A. Milne’s fanciful comedy,
“The Ivory Door,” the second
offering of the University of Lou-isville
Players. In this lavish and
artistic production, thirty-six ac-tors
are to appear, including vari-ous
attendants, guards, pages, and
ladies-in-waiting of the medieval
court, where the scene is laid. This
unusually large cast will require
forty-six complete costumes. The
rich, rustling brocades of court
ladies of the early fifteenth cen-tury
will be topped by elaborate
wigs and intricate head-dresses,
and the men will stride about in
the silken doublet and hose of that
period. The settings will further
carry out the allegorical and sym-bolistic
nature of this play by pre-senting
a sincere reproduction of
Medieval court life.
Of the thirty-six members of
the cast, twenty-four are making
their initial bow over the foot-lights.
Important among the no-vices
are Henry Merritt in the
leading role of Prince Perivale,
and Anne Durham, playing
Thora.
Helen Edwards, the Princess
Lilia of the play, will be remem-bered
for her performance in
“The Cradle Song” of last year.
William Black, who is appearing
as King Hilary, took the part of
Vicar in “The Crime at Blos-soms,”
the play in which Gilbert
Adams, as Carlo, and Emily Doup,
as Anna, also had parts. Tom Van
Arsdel, playing Brand, has ap-peared
in “June Moon,” “We’ve
Got to Have Money,” and “When
Knighthood Was in Flower.”
Louis Lusky, the Mummer, had
parts in “Secrets,” and “The Wis-dom
Tooth,” and Leroy Cooper,
the Captain of the Guards, still
carries the name “Benny” from
his portrayal of that character in
“June Moon.” The “voice-off-stage”
in “Cradle Song” belonged
to William Kanzinger, who is An-ton
in “The Ivory Door.”
Another one of Milne’s plays,
“The Perfect Alibi” will be pre-sented
by The Little Theatre
Company on December 14, 15,
and 16.
Chem. Club Hears
Of Paper Making
Mr. Gordon Miller of the Miller
Paper Company spoke on “The
Chemistry of Paper Manufactur-ing”
at the regular luncheon meet-ing
of the Chemistry Club.
Mr. Miller explained the me-chanical
and chemical processes in-volved
in the making of paper.
If a University of Washington
student is so unfortunate as to
flunk a course, he is denied the
use of the library.

Wendell Carnahan, chair-man,
Perry B. Miller, Jerry Stites,
and Richard P. Deitzman, has
been appointed to act as a govern-ing
board for the Universi .y of
Louisville Law School since the
resignation of Dean Neville Mil-ler
to become Mayor of Louis-ville.

succeeded Miss Josephine Warner
as secretary of the school.
SOKOLSKY FIRST
IN FORUM SERIES
Many Economists And Political
Speakers Are Scheduled
On List
FILMS ARE LAST FEATURE
The Louisville Public Forum
will open its 1933-34 season next
Sunday, December 3, at 8:15
o’clock at the Woman’s Club with
George Sokolsky, author and
journalist, as guest speaker. Mr.
Sokolsky, who addressed the For-um
two years ago, will discuss
“America as a World Power.”
This topic is considered by the
officers of the Forum as particular-ly
timely at a moment when the
world is faced by greater prob-lems,
both national and interna-tional
than ever before since the
close of the World War.
The Reverend John H. Holmes
who opposed Tammany very bit-terly
in the past election, will
speak the following Sunday on
“Municipal Corruption.”
On January 7, Henry Kitteridge
Norton, economist and newspaper
columnist, will address the Forum
on “The Hitch In Recovery.”
S. K. Ratcliffe, an authority on
the international relations of Ger-many,
will talk on “Hitler and the
New Germany,” January 14.
Those who attend the Forum
last year will recall the much dis-cussed
lecture given by Dr.
Charles Obermeyer of the Dutch
University of South Africa. The
subject of Dr. Obermeyer’s ad-dress
this year is to be “America
Reaches for a New Philosophy.”
Murray Seasongood, president
of the National Municipal League
will speak on January 28, and
Carlos Davila, revolutionary lead-er
and twice president of Chile,
on February 4.
The long-awaited appearance of
Louis Untermeyer will be on Feb-urary
11 when he will discuss “A
Critic’s Half-Holiday.’’
The program will be concluded
with a lecture by Julien Bryant on
“Russia As It Is,” illustrated with
15,000 feet of films. This program
will be held on February 18.
Mr. Grover Sales is president of
the Forum again this year.
If one wished to attain a Bache-lor
of Arts degree in Harvard
University, in the days when Har-vard
was still young, he had to
translate the Bible from the orig-inal
into Latin.

And Geodetic Survey
TO BE MARKED BY PLAQUE
Those of the University’s stu-dents
who have been wondering
about the purpose of the tower
recently erected on the circle of
ground before the Adminstration
Building will doubtlessly be pleas-ed
to learn its function.
This 110 foot structure is a
temporary observation tower con-structed
by the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey of the

SPEED FROSH,
SOPHS TO WAGE
ANNUAL BATTLE
Traditional Gridiron Contest To
Be Staged On Campus
Tomorrow
TEST SET FOR 10 A. M.
(By TOM MILLER)
The game of games!—the most
spectacular event of the football
season will be unfolded before the
eyes of all who desire to see. The
traditional battle between the
vicious freshmen and the blood-thirsty
sophomores of the Speed
Scientific School will take the
form of a gridiron contest tomor-row,
Saturday, December 2, at
10:00 a.m. on Belknap Campus.
In bygone days the purpose of
the game was to decide whether
the freshmen should wear their
hats until Christmas or take them
off immediately. Since these icon-oclasts
have ceased to wear their
hats this quarter, the original pur-pose
has been lost and only a mu-tual
dislike carries it on.
The probable starting line-up
will be:
Freshmen Sophomores
Senior L.E. Kennedy
Magee L.T. Bennett
ISJyatt T.G. Scott
Rice C. Stinger
Barnes R.G. Taddonio
Graves R.T. Allen
Herin R.E. Groth
Van Arsdale Q. Hatter
Arehart L.H. Solley
King R.H. Zinsmeister
Taylor F. Corcran
It seems quite unusual that the
Sophomores have not included
Bob Wilder in their starting line-up.
Bob is one of the most potent
gridiron warriors in the whole
school, and it is probable that
there are a few tricks up the
Sophs’ sleeves.
May the best team win!
