Small Crowd Applauds Studio Twin-Bill Show
A small but appreciative audience attended the Studio Theater's sixth production of the year, which consisted of Percival Wilde's "The Noble Lord," and "Two Heavenly Dialogues" "The Green Pastures," by Marc Connelly, and "Heavenly Discourse" by Charles Erskine Scott Wood.
"The Noble Lord" deals with the efforts of a girl, played by Kave Cummings, college freshman, to get a lord to fall in love with her by getting him to rescue her from drowning. The lord, played by Robert Damkroger, education senior, gave an excellent portrayal, demonstrating a fine English accent and good facial expression.
By DICK WALT and JANE PECINOVSKY
In "Two Heavenly Discourses" the actors sit on stools with their backs to the audience, turning only when speaking.
"The Green Pastures" deals with the experiences of God when he visited the earth to check on conditions. It included humorous dialogue between God, played by Ward Weldon, college junior, and Noah, played by Donald Johnston, business junior.
"Heavenly Discourse" was a scene in heaven which featured a discussion on the Theory of Evolution between Charles Darwin, played by David Conley, journalism senior; William Jennings Bryan, played by Paul Culp, college sophomore, and Noah, again played by Don Johnston, the outstanding performer on the program.
Richard Rundquist, assistant professor of education, has been elected president of the Kansas Guidance association. Dr. Rundquist was vice president of the association last year.

'Better' Calendar Shown in Movie
A calendar system described as "better than our own" was explained in the movie "The Maya Through the Ages" which was shown at the La Tertulia club meeting yesterday.
The Maya used a numerical system with a base number of 20. They developed the concept of the number zero at the same time the Hindus did.
The village life of the primitive and almost extinct Lacandone Indians was also shown in the film. They live in the jungles of southern Mexico and northern Guatemala.
