Short Stage Run For 'Long Shadow'
The curtain will fall with a heavy finality after tonight's reading of "The Long Shadow," winning script in a University of Kansas-judged original play contest.
The play, originally scheduled to be run Monday through tomorrow nights in the Experimental Theatre, had its Saturday performance cancelled when officials decided the audiences were not big enough.
"Nobody's coming," he said. "They all have other things to do at this time of the year."
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, said it was too late in the year to put on a successful play at the University.
Holders of tickets for tomorrow night's performance may use them tonight. If not used their purchase prices will be refunded.
"The Long Shadow" was written by Miriam Roffman for a contest

Painters Splash Red On Green Statue
Persons unknown hurled containers of paint at the statue. Most of the paint landed on the sidewalk. Some red paint, however, gave a splotchy finish to the statue's bronze clothing.

WHO SAID IT FIRST?
A column of incidental intelligence by Jockey brand
"THE MORNING AFTER"
This horrible time was first im-
mortalized by George Ade in
"The Sultan of Sulu." Here's
the way he put it:
"But, R-E-M-O-R-S-E!
The water-wagon is the
place for me;
It is no time for mirth and
laughter,
The cold, gray dawn of the
morning after!"
"GENTLEMAN AND SCHOLAR"
High praise, indeed, for any man! But did you know that the description comes from Robert Burns—who said it first about a dog? Here's the quote:
"His locked, lettered, braw brass collar
Showed him the gentleman and scholar."
You'll find the couplet in Burns' "The Twa Dogs."
"THE MORNING AFTER"
"MAN BITES DOG"
"MAN BITES DOG"
That's everybody's definition of news, and we're all indebted to John B. Bogart, city editor of the old New York Sun (1873-90) who first said:
"When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news!"

What's true about expressions is also true about styles. Somebody always got there first. Take Jockey brand underwear. Jockey brand is made only by Coopers. Coopers invented Jockey underwear—and no copy can compare with Jockey brand for quality, comfort and fit.
