YEAR "Florida's Oldest College Newspaper" Number 3 Hatters Go For Win Number 4 Tomorrow Night rlea sen rs - ednes ay Little Theater'Talent Combined with Kaufman-Hart: Comedy Sure Success ] By DICK KALE When the Stover Theater curtain rises on the Kau'fman-Hart comedy, "George Washington Slept Here," Oct. 20, 21, and 22, Stetson theater goers will once again find themselves amusingly and highly entertained by the product of two of the theater's most outstanding playwrights. Any evening -that one might spend '—at- the theater viewing a play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart can be considered an evening more than just, well spent. For the Messrs. Kaufman and Hart have discovered that formula for successful playwriting which enables them to produce one laugh riot after the other. This is easily demonstrated right here at Stetson in that some of the most successful presentations by the little theater in the field of comedy have been Kaufman-Hart plays. "You Can't Take It With You," presented two seasons back, will be recalled by those who saw it as one of the most enjoyable offerings of the season. Likewise, local theatergoers will remember "The Man Who Came to Dinner" as one of last season's highly outstanding productions. Both authors have also achieved their own individual triumphs on the Broadway stage. Mr. Kaufman, in collaboration with Edna Ferber, wrote "The Royal Family," which also played to capacity audiences last season here at Stetson. Mr. Hart penned the Gertrude Lawrence success "Lady in the Dark" and also produced the Army Air Corps hit. "Winged Victory" during the war. His most recent triumph places him as director of the current Broadway hit musical, "Miss Liberty." Combining the talents of the Stetson Theater with a hit of Kaufman and Hart has proved a sure-fire success formula in past seasons and with the presentation of "George Washington Slept Here" sure-fire success will again be the order of the day. Remember, tickets go on sale Wednesday, October 19, from 3:00- 5:00 p.m.;'at the Stover Little Theater box office. Admission is by student activity ticket and tickets may be obtained on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday at the above mentioned time. To all of you, and especially you Freshmen, the best advice we can pass on is to tell you to get your ticckets early and avoid not being able to get any at all because you waited until too late.
