Taking It Back
"Dear Sir: About three weeks ago
I wrote to you about the pitiful
coudition and way the sports pa?e
was handled. I take it all back.
The way it was handled in Friday's
Kernel makes me take it back . . .
I guess I am a sports fanatic but
I hate to see good stones wasted
on a messy page. Give my congrais
to Joe Creason on his fine column
on the Rose Bowl selection. It is
the first comment I have seen that
combines reason and humor. Keep
up the good work." A. R.
We can't always be sure of Tuesday's paper because it is usually
pretty crowded, but well do our
best to make a cood display in
Friday's issue.

Beautiful costuming, novel stage
effects, and excellent characterization combined to make the Guignol's
presentation of Sheridan's "The
Rivals." which opened last night for
a week's run, one of the best plays
seen on the boards of the Little
Theatre for several seasons.
At the beginning of the play, the
characters, in dancing costumes,
were posed as a framed picture of
a garden scene in Bath. England.
The famous comedy of stolen interviews, numerous suitors, and unreasonable jealousies, is almost entirely a farce, with the minor plot
of Falkland and Julia a sop to the
love addicts.
Mrs. Mala prop, who offers the
greatest possibilities for humorous
character delineation, is played to
periectioii by Dorothy Dyer Rhodes.
The character's "nice derangement

of epitaphs" were delivered in the
actress's excellent stage voice and
the malapropi.sh "parts of speech"
received just the correct emphasis.
Attractive Barbara Smith as Lydia
Languish, that strange combination
of extravagance and simplicity who
thought elopement a prerequisite to
successful marriage, was the quintessence of feminine loveliness.
Choleric generous Sir Anthony
AbtoluLc was well characterized by
Robert Hobgood. but the part of his
son. Captain Jack Absolute, played
by Clarence Geiger. lacked finesse
and impiessiveness.
