If &e actors of L'homme de 1ft Nuit
were able to sustain the sense of sus-
pense developed at the end of the
first act last night, the French Little
Theatre will have given an adequate
rendition of an inadequate play.
Such a play as Andre de Lorde's
horror tale of a mono-maniacal artist
who delights in dispelling graveyards
on stormy nights to secure the golden
tressef of departed females requires
that the moods move more swiftly,
without too much obvious effort.
The lagging of the beginning of the
second act took most of the horror out
of the horror story at the perform-
ance Tuesday night. Jt was all Andre
Bourgeous could do, with his repor-
toire of stage tricks and a flair for
playing a role for all it is worth to
keep file piny on its feet.
"Hie let-down was not the fault of
any particular performer. Several of
the minor characters portrayals were
well-handled, particularly those of
Guillaume Bataille as Barnard, the
burgling butler and Mary Jane Hale
as the flighty young friend of the
family. Though Bourgeois succeeded
in frightening several young ladies in
the first row, we strongly recommend
that he buy some fresh spirit gum for
fastening in his own hair and whisk-
ers, and while we're about it we also
suggest a bottle of liniment to repair
tihe damages garnered in his realistic
tumbles.
Leslie Bowling did not seem quite
tjo grasp the role of the hard-boiled
detective as well as he has sensed the
spirit of the characters that he has
enacted in the past, Ray Watkin will

SOUGHT-AFTER PLAGUE
Now that everything is over, we've
got a scoop for all youse readers.
There was an infantile plague of the
measles. The measles are spots accom-
panied with dark glasses. The spots
appear on the chest, and tummy . . .
speaking of tummy, that's a funny
word. No one ever thinks of saying
str.mach any more. Belly used to be
in good usage but to say belly, now
one thinks of that goofy story about
Jonah and the whale. Say, when one
every really comes down to it that
story of Jonah is plumb silly. I don't
know whether Jonah ever had the
measles but nine guys out here did.
What really happened is that a suite
of three rooms al West Hall, running
water, and waiter service was arranged
for the) boys. Doc Welch called by to
see the boys every day. Three times
a day a table was set up. Dinner for
nine, please, Tozzybelle. The boys are
all out now talking of the fun they
had and how to play monopoly.
In fact, the guys had so much fun
that every one around the dorms was
trying to find ways of getting the
measles. (Imagine the embarrassment
when some fo the girls got measles and
there was no girls' dorms.)
To make the gathering non-leprous,
the boys named it The West Hall
Bunch Of Boys That Were, Are, and
Will Be Confined For The Purpose Of
Furthering The Great Study of the
Game Called Monopoly and the
Measles That Go With It Club~"Pest
House" for short. The reason for this
nftiue Is because the boys did nothing
but Dlav monoDolv and wear dark
glasses and eat steaks and run to
fe, by the window and
gB§p ^
always say something silly to them
and go to sleep at night.
The trouble with such high living
is that the boys are going to have hell
settling down to the regular routine
of getting up in the morning and go-
ing after their1 own food and not hav-
ing it brought to them and being
awakened and having the stuff fed
them by guys paid especially for that
purpose. The service Was so good that
Hermann Hospital big shots tried to

to be sick to have such a good time.

other people because when they don't
have to go.

Letters To

DRAMATIC CLUB TO
PRESENT ONE ACT
PLAYS THIS MONTH
The men of this generation have
prided themselves on their moves to-
ward efficiency in production. They
have made pioneering changes to rid
their factories of the useless and the
cumbersome. But in their private
lives men, for decades, have practi-
cally wedded themselves to the same
styles of clothing.
Is it likely that women now have the
most practical clothing to be devised?
Men complain of the fickleness of wo-
men's fashions, yet use the same
rr.iithod-—that is, experimentation — to
determine the most efficient machines
or processes. Since custom decrees
that clothing is necessary, wearing
clothing should be made as little irk-
some as possible, and the much-hail-
ed freedom of thought of this age
.should be tolerant of all those who at-
tempt to experiment with styles to-
ward the ideal of comfort. Even the
simple change 10 shorts in hot weath-
er would be highly desirable, giving
greater freedom a'.d coolness, and such
a change is certainly not radical.
Only the most reactionary prude
could at'ack shorts on the grounds of
"modesty", and the only genuine ob-
jection would be the appearance of
men's legs.
Even this elevation would be of ad-
vantage. since without the mask of!
shapeless clothing to hide soft, skim-
milk legs, men would pay more at-
tention to their health, just as women '
have done. And shorts are only a
beginning; by investigating past styles,
originating new ones, and experiment-
ing, modes may be
would more nearly

a series of these plays as soon as pos-

PROPER AGING
Tobacco in its natural state is harsh
and strong. Though "cured" by the
grower before sale, it i;vunsuited (or
use without further aging. During
this aging period Q>vhich ranges in
the case of Lucky Strike from 1'2
to 3 years) important changes occur.
These "Nature" changes result in
the partial "smoothing out" of the
original harsh qualities of the leaf.
Our process of manufacture carries
these improvements many steps
further—as every Lucky Strike
Cigarette exemplifies: A Light
Smoke of rich, ripe-bodied tobacco.
