Gam bit Rescheduled
For Next Week End
Three performances of" Royal
Gambit" by the Belknap Players
were among the casualties of the
big snow last Saturday. The per­formances
have been rescheduled
for this Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday at 8:30 p.m. and at 3:00
p.m. Sunday.
The theatergoers who missed
the play are fortunate that they
will have a chance to see it next
week. "Royal Gambit" is one of
the best performances of the
year.
_ The Hermann Gressieker play
1s n~t especially powerful drama,
but 1t is entertaining throughout
with its humorous and intelligent
dialogue.
john Seitz showed understand~
ing of the play and its humor in
fashioning an unstereotyped
Henry VIII.
In the play Henry romps
through six marriages, each of
which shows a stage in the evo­lution
from Medieval man to
Modern emancipated individuals.
Henry controls the situation
and his wives until old age and
the later emancipated wives ham~
string him. He is throughout a
selfish, calculating buffoon obliv~
ious to the insults of his wives.
Henry is proud of his reason­ing
and of his belonging to the
new order, but he illustrates
perfectly Hume's observation
that the intellect is the slave of
the passions.
Gressieker questions the value
of where man's confidence in
his own reason has led him, but
does not seek to turn back the
clock. He does make it clear
that man must find something
new in order to save himself.

SHORT ORDERS
Eight Negro Students lead
Demonstration In Two Groups,
Plan To Continue All Week
By Nelson Dawson
An anti-segregation demon­stration
against the Cardinal Inn
and Loop Hole restaurants began
Wednesday at noon: eight Negro
students at the University of Louisville Jed the
demonstration. Jane Clay, one of the demonstra~
tors, told 'Cardinal' reporters, "Since nothing
has been accomplished with negotiations, this was
our only recourse .' '
The eig~t students divided into two groups , four
picketing the Cardinal Inn and four picketing the
Loophole. The group picketing the Loop Hole on­sisted
of Brenda Henderson, Edna Bland, Harriet
Miller, and Robbie Yancy. Miss Henderson stated
that the group planned to picket from 12:00 o'clock
until 12:50 each day of the week.
The picketing was orderly, although three police
crosier s were on hand. The signs which the pick­e
ters carried had quotations from.Emerson
Thoreau, Lincoln, and jefferson. '
The group picketing the Cardinal Inn consisted
of Sandra Breckenridge, Emma Walter, Viola Mil­ler,
and Jane Clay. Four additional demonstrators
joined the group at the Cardinal Inn.
. "W. e. hope that all the students of the University
Wlll JOln us until these businesses drop their
policy of racial discrimination," said Miss Clay.
Donald Muir, an instructor in the sociology de­partment
of the University joined the demons.tfa­tors
ten minutes before they returned to the campus
for clas s es . Muir told reporters, "I took part in
the demonstrations because I am a private citizen
who believes that public discrimination is not
part of democracy."
The owners of the Cardinal Inn did not wish to
make a comment to 'Cardinal' reporters concern­ing
the picketing. The manager of the Loop l-iole
was not available for comment to reporters~
Miss Bland, a member of the group picketing
the Loophole s tated, "I think the owners of these
businesses will make some concessions."

For Mayor, Says Crimmins

1n a speech to the University of Louisville Young Democrat's
Club February 28, said that Charles Farnsley's unfortunate de­cision
to drop out of the race for Mayor of Louis ville necessitated
the choice of W. S. Milburn as the party candidate. "Next to Charley,
we felt Milburn would be the best man.'' said Crimmins.
