Play'DistractinglyCrude'
By DICK COWDEN
Virtually everyone who attended *Lisatristra* 'Friday night knew they were in for a lawwy evening of entertainment aimed at them. "We watched liberated viewers, however, walked out half way through the plot and they didn't look like they were so sleepy to watch a minute longer."
Blanket judgments of "lysistrata" are simply no good at all. Whether or not the viewer can enjoy it depends strictly on how much obscurity he can find outting them to playing its intent.
"isystratia" was written by Aristophanes in 411 B.C. The Athenian and Spartan women to end the war between the two countries by refusing their power to fight them in the defense of the fighting Needleess to say, the ladies prove their power and force the men to surrender.

The audience ceases to laugh and begins to whirl about the play's take liberties with this 2,400-year-old script. One character finds herself playing on two lines. The play ends with a campy take-on on "Hair." Unfortunately, much of the audience enjoys the comedic marveling at KU's daring play's father than appreciating the timelessness of this ancient play.
"Ilysstratula's" entire crew of nymphs and 'horny' males have all the same performances. The dialogue comes with crispness and at a lively pace. If the cast doesn't show it, nobody really had anybody fooled. The girls are cute and fetching and loving, yellow their sufferings herocally.
Pat Relph, Fredonia junior, is a statueque and a striking athlete. She lustfully about the set, blasting the males with her campaign
Bill Russell, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, and Mary Pat Green, Pratice Village, sophomore, members of the older set. The pair come across as two of the most likable dirty old people. Russell and Miss Green have shown and play them to the fullest.
