To Present 'Night Fall' In Fraser
"Night Must Fall," all-student play to be given May 4 in Fraser theater, has had several exceptional reviews written about it. In an excerpt from the New York American, the critic says, "Night Must Fall." It is a blood-curdler, wholesale in its horrors—with grateful bubbles of laughter between its deep quaffs of blood—I had a sufficiently good and horror-stricken time."
Harlan Cope, college sophomore directing the play, reports that this is not an understatement, and that the play is full of laughs and murder.
In The Theater, another reviewer reports, "Altogether, 'Night Must Fall,' by de-emphasizing the grisly and stressing the mental and psychological bases of the play, becomes an unusual and original crime melodrama."
George M. Cohan said, "The best thrill play I ever saw—and I've seen 'em all. It takes you by the throat and leaves you gasping."
The play is given by the dramatic workshop of the University, and is given entirely without help of the speech department teachers.
Alumni of Memphis Meet With Faculty
Twenty-eight former University students gathered Tuesday evening in Memphis, Temn., for a University of Kansas alumni luncheon. The meeting was held in connection with the national convention of the American Chemical Society which three members of the chemistry department attended.
Those from the University attending the meeting were: Dr. R.Q Brewster, professor of chemistry; I Glenn Stevenson, assistant custodian for the chemistry department; Ronald Pankratz, assistant instructor in chemistry; and Mrs. R. Q Brewster. They returned to Lawrence last night.
