Patricia Lynch Spent Summer As 'Gay Nineties' Heroine
Patricia Lynch, College senior, held the leading feminine role in an old fashioned melodrama presented last summer in Cripple Creek, Colo., a boom town during Colorado's gold rush. Miss Lynch appeared in "Curse You, Villian," more commonly known as "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal, You!"
Many persons who saw Patricia's performance say that she looks like Lizabeth Scott, a Hollywood Paramount actress.
"No! No! A thousand times no!" were the words re-echoed by Patricia as she scorned the advances of a "dastardly villian." Avoiding the kisses of an evil man, saving mortgages, and escaping from sawmills was all in a day's work for this five foot, four inch, blue-eyed blond from Houston, Texas. She had the leading role of "Little Nelle," the heroine, in the play.
Paul "Buddy" Piper, Dodge City, and Beverley Presley, 46, are the co-owners of the Piper Players, who produced and directed the show. They said Patricia was the best actress they had seen play the part.
Pat, as she is more familiarly known, transferred to the University in February from Sam Houston college, Huntsville, Texas. She was a member of the Sam Houston Players dramatic group, and had leading parts in "The Little Foxes," "Angel Street," and "Claudia." She also directed "The Male Animal."
Last spring Patricia played in "The Strength of Ten." presented by the K.U. dramatics department. She is a member of the University Players at K.U.
