In the year 1610, Ben Jonson wrote and produced a raucous and rowdy play depicting the daily life of London during the reign of James I. Its story centered around three rogues who, by adopting the science of the day—alchemy—duped members of all levels of society from cleric to bumpkin.
Ben Jonson would have loved it.
Last night, at the University Theatre, 350 years later, "The Alchemist" was presented once again.
Ben Jonson would have loved it. It was hilarious as a farcical thieves carnival. The hilarity came not from the lines of the play however, but from the actions and nearpantomime movements of the individual players.
AS A MATTER of fact, it was exactly like watching a foreign movie without subtitles. The audience and actors were both hampered by the Jonson vernacular—it was difficult for the cast to deliver and hard for the audience to understand.
But, contrary to the first principle of the theater, it really didn't matter. Enough of the plot was discerned to follow what was happening, and other aspects of the play more than made up for the sporadic comprehensibility.
The mainstays of the cast. Larry Sneeegas, Sidney Berger and Joyce Malicky, did an admirable job of holding the plot together and carrying the load. But the entertainment of the evening came from the supporting cast who constantly paraded their talents in amazing fashion.
SOME WERE so good it is hard to imagine their parts ever having been performed better. To single out a few would be to slight the others who did equally well, but attention should be called to the performances of John Welz as the fanatical deacon; Arly Allen as Kastril, the student brawler; Terry Kovac as Abel Drugger, the socially offensive tobacco dealer, and Kay Carroll as the plastic-moralled Dame Pliant.
Even the walk-ons drew attention.
ISTANBUL — (UPI) Anti-government students battled police in the streets of Turkey's major cities for the second day today and Premier Adnan Menderes promised "swift punishment" for those responsible.
Student Riot Hits Istanbul
Fourteen persons have been reported killed in two days.
The heaviest fighting was reported in the Turkish capital of Ankara. Three students were reported killed there today when police fired into their midst in a wild melee outside Ankara University that resumed the anti-government riots in Korea.
Menderes, Turkish strongman, issued a statement promising swift punishment for the small group of "certain partisans" he said caused the two days of rioting.
Menderes did not identify the "partisans." But shortly before he spoke the ministry of interior issued a statement blaming the riots on the opposition Peoples Republican Party led by former premier and president Ismet Inoua, a hero of Turkish independence.
The ministry statement said an investigative committee had issued orders forbidding all public gatherings. It was creation of the all-powerful legislative investigative commissions which inflamed the students into action.
"Those partisans will soon understand what it is to go against the power of the state," he said.
GENEVA — (UPI)— The 10-nation disarmament conference recessed today unable to agree even on an interim communique. Western delegates expressed hope that next month's Big Four Summit Meeting will break the deadlock.
Geneva Meetings Recess
The individual performances ranged from good to excellent but collectively they were magnificent.
The eye-catching costumes, designed by Herbert L. Camburn, and excellent settings, designed by Dick Borgen, complemented the professional quality of the production. The make-up by Bob Moberly and crew also added its part perfectly.
SOUTHWEST TEACHERS
AND LASTLY, the director, Lewin Goff, is to be congratulated for the staging which so effectively melded the large cast into the smoothly moving production it was.
To sum it all up, the play was fun, the cast was terrific and the production was grand. One admotion; if you want to know what's going on, read the play before going. Otherwise, just sit back and relax.

Cuban Police Smash Anti-Castro Plot
HAVANA, Cuba—(UPI)—Secret police announced today they had smashed a plot against the Fidel Castro government with the arrest of five persons, including a former deputy chief of the government's suer-secret intelligence agency.
The secret police said they had seized a large supply of arms, plus ammunition, uniforms, a United States flag, two radio transmitters
and a supply of subversive proclamations.
The announcement said police underground agents trapped the conspirators by pretending tisssatisfaction with the Castro government and expressing agreement with President Eisenhower's charge that the revolutionary government was betraying the principles which brought it to power.
"Here's the way we figure. Some day we may need to borrow some money. If we are loyal to our bank and build up our credit rating we feel that the bank will be loyal to us and take care of our needs without delay "For us, it's our bank first for money matters... every time!"
