LONG ARM OF KEN PLUMB — In his familiar role as a policeman, Plumb makes an arrest in "Pity Poor Pearl." Here he apprehends the villainess, Jane Quaid, Norman, Okla., graduate student
Chances Of Being The 'Cop' Are Slim With Him Around
Fellow theater members claim his honest face is the reason Ken Plumb, Sunflower graduate student, almost inevitably has been cast as a policeman.

Army ROTC Plans Hospital Show
The Army ROTC will present a variety show March 12 at Winter General Hospital in Topeka.
The program is being planned by Carl Anderson, Kansas City, Kan. and William Littell, Rolla, both seniors. Littell is the director of the ROTC band which will play in the show.
The program will include a drill exhibition by members of Pershing Rifles; a 1-man magic show featuring Claude. Kean, Olathe junior; ballads sung by Dolan Ellis, Topeka sophomore; and a skating act by 12-year-old Stephanie J. Armstrong and 11-year-old Linda M. Rye, both of Lawrence.
Players' production, "Pity Poor Pearl," has played the role of a policeman in six of ten plays within the past 2/3 years. "Pity Poor Pearl" starts at 8 p. m. Wednesday in Green Theater.
Plumb, a 1956 journalism graduate, first appeared with the University Theater his junior year when he played a soldier in "A Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar Lee Masters.
Since then he has been cast as a policeman in "No Mother to Guide Her" and "Drunkard; melodramas; "Great Catherine" by George Bernard Shaw; Oscar Hammerstein's "Carousel," and "Darkness at Noon" by Sydney Kingsey.
Someday he said he would like to play the role of Caligula, the Roman emperor, or Stanley Kowalski of "Streetcar Named Desire."
Next summer he will direct the melodrama "Davy Crockett." "There is no policeman in this script," Plumb said, "so I'll think I will write one in. Every good melodrama should have a cop."

Melodrama Keynotes Tears, Hisses, Boos
The music of an upright piano and an old-fashioned roll curtain will unveil the stage for the University Players' production of "Pity Poor Pearl" at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday in Green Theater. Student ID cards do not admit.
The melodrama is directed by Ted' Teichgraeber, Emporia junior, and is the sixth annual player production. It is unique in that the audience participates actively by booing and hissing the villain and cheering the hero.
Only after she disappears is it discovered that a mistake has been made and she is not an outcast. The hero, Harper Barnes, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, goes to her rescue and saves her from the ruthlessness of the villain.
The story takes place in New York in 1860, Laura, a young lady of good social standing, is played by Joyce Elliot, Independence, Mo., sophomore. She is discovered to be the daughter of the villain, George Edwards, Kansas City, Kan., senior, and villainess, Lois Quaid, Norman, Okla., graduate student. Laura is rejected immediately by all her friends.
Other members of the cast are Paul Culp, Overland Park and Marvin Carlson, Wichita, seniors;
Michigan's highest point, one of the peaks of the Porcupine Mountains in Ontanogan County, is only a few miles away from the state's lowest point.
