Brigitte and Sophia on Exhibit at Varsity
By Bob Harwi
A good place to sop up some culture before the withering grind of final week is the Varsity Theatre.
Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren are on exhibition in two enticingly titled little comedies called "Mademoiselle Striptease" and "Scandal in Sorrento."
Brigitte is in "Mademoiselle" and Sophia belongs to "Scandal," if it makes any difference.
It may seem strange, but we found these pictures pretty good by just about any standard. In fact, they were a little reminiscent of some of the fast-paced comedies of
KU Male Again-He's Oversexed Toad, Cynic
By Martha Pearse
According to the parents, their daughter is going to leave the old Hill because she cannot bear the agony of association with the KU beasts (male), and obviously she does not intend to spend her weekends sitting home painting her toenails.
This one had a new twist. It was a lament by the frustrated parents of an even more frustrated freshman girl.
The Daily Kansan does not print anonymous letters—usually. But Friday we received in the mails a scathing expose of the life and loves of that poor mistreated creature, the KU male.
The parents want the answer, not only from The Kansan, but from

the Dean of Women, and the presidents of Associated Women Students and the student body. They sent letters to everyone.
Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, was asked what she plans to do about the letter.
These are situation pictures. The characters in each show are set up in conditions which become ensnarled and chaotic and which could lead to disaster, but end up with everybody happy and the customer going home pretty well pleased.
"Our regular procedure is to file all anonymous letters in the waste-basket," she calmly announced.
Campus Police Chief Joe Skillman said today that students should not report their new license plate numbers to the police department. This information will be taken from student enrollment cards.
Eleanor Youngberg. Lawrence senior and president of AWS, said, "We'll see if we can incorporate a Sadie Hawkins Day into our program."
Brigitte, believe it or not, is cast as a successful young author who has to enter a striptease to earn some money which will replace a valuable book she has mistakenly sold.
John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. junior and president of the student body, said, "Perhaps this is a new problem for student government to investigate."
Her sweetheart, played by Daniel Gelin, is confused by her dual role, for he does not know that the stripper and the author are the same person. There is a bombastic father, a fathead of a brother, a nitwit photographer and other assorted French types; male and female. Everything comes out all right in the end, of course.
The letter said that KU men-folk are "a bunch of squirrels, toads, squares—and the rich men's sons are the worst."
- The girl insists that all KU men are of this breed, for she has made the rounds and found their interests identical.
We suggest to the disillusioned young thing that she join a Lonely Hearts club, or else study for her Mrs. degree at some better-equipped institution.
It also said the stronger sex on Mt. Oread are alcoholics, oversexed, cynical, and they are all phonies.

Vittorio moves in with a spinister (a very attractive spinster, we might add) but keeps his eye on Sophia and a Swedish dish who keeps wandering in and out of the show with a ratty little hound. Thus Vittorio is torn between Sophia, the spinster and the Swede. How's that for a problem?
The pictures are helped no end by having American actors dub in the voices of all the speaking roles. This causes a certain lack of coordination in the movement of lips and the forming of words, but it did serve one important service. Just think what it would have been like if they had used subtitles and your eyeballs had to flit from Brigitte and Sophia to the writing at the bottom of the screen.
