PARDON US, CUPflr DEPICTS ROMANCES IN ODD FASHION Local Talent Performs in > Original Production for Theatre Fund After a week of ori-stage ex> ercise, Stetson Lotharios seem, in fine shape to portray tomor|pw, evening at the Stover Lj|#e Theatre some touching scenes of real and imagined love wfleti the curtain goes up on Th£& Alpha Phi's all-star revue "Par* don Us, Cupid." During the week a new demonstration of the old adage "True love never runs smooth," was given when Lord Essex, Diomed, and George Gibbs (alias Jack Caus* ier, John Kurtz, and Gadi Law* ton) succumbed briefly to .the measels. However at the fast count, true love has triumphed. This original dramatic revue, the handiwork of Howard Bate* son and Lydia Theurer, gave some outstanding examples 6f amatory technique through the years, and then proceeds to translate them into a more ,fa* miliar idiom, and it is there that Cupid's indulgence is besought, for little remains sacred. The cast of the revue is taken from the ranks of Theta Alpha Phi and veteran Stetson actors and includes.. Helen Doris McCor* mick, Huber - Griffin, John Kurtz, William Lovelace, Ed Dail, Alfred West, Hilda Sweat, John Causier, Flonnie Anders, Fred Kiehle, Mary Bradford, Nell Lynn, Blanche McCord, Winston McQuiddy, Marzee McDonald, John Lewis, Lela Mae Jennings, Harvey Klein, Pat Sweet, and Gadi Lawton. In addition, the talent of Le* roy New's Stetson Mad Hatters has been secured for the musical effects, and some entr'act music in the solid-sending style is promised. The performance Thursday evening is sponsored by the dra* matic fraternity for the benefit of the Little Theatre fund, and proceeds will be used to pur* chase drapes for the theatre lobby.
