A Russian by birth and American by choice, Barer took out his

Futuristic Theme Of 'RUR'
Well Carried Out By Guignol
By JIM WOOLDRIDGE
Despite the fact that the
theme of Buck Rogers,
Brick Bradford, etc., appears regularly in magazines
and comic
strips, last night's Guignol production of Karel Capek's "RUR" was
so different in its treatment of this
same
idea that it
received a hearty ovation by an
enthusiastic audience at the little
theater on Euclid avenue.
The futuristic set, cleverly arranged by Clay Lancaster, gave the
play its desired modernistic effect
from the first curtain. Featuring
sliding Venetian blinds and a
machine, the "visaphone,"
the stage became the office of the
factory which manufactured the
robots.
In this office, Minna Bloomfield.
as Helena Glory makes her first
appearance.
Displaying wonderful
stage poise as well as delivering her
lines with professional alacrity, Mrs.
Bloomfield surpasses her previous
local appearance with a very finished performance.
pseudo-scientif-

ultra-scientif- ic

super-televisi-

near-hum-

ic

Playing opposite Mrs. Bloomfield
is Frank Johnson as Harry Domin,
general manager of the robot
manufacturing concern. Johnson is
close behind Mrs. Bloomfield with
a finished portrayal of the debonair
young blade of the next century.
Dick Swope as Dr. Gall and Grant
Lewis as the architect Alquist, also
turn in creditable performances.
The last act shows a final, dramatic effort of the only surviving
human to create more robots, even
after the formula for their manufacture has been lost. His voice
quaking with age in a beautiful
characterization. Robert Lundquist
does a polished scene. Also in this
scene are the robotess, Helena, Lucy
Simms, and the robot. Primus,
Howard Price, both of whom perform adequately.
The direction of Frank Fowler
and Sam NutkoLs enriches Capek's
play by clever arrangements and
sequences.
Considering
the fact
that the modernistic costumes had
to be made from scratch. Miss Gail
Kim did an exellent Job.

Out of the American Youth Congress, which
convened at Washington last week, have come
two im)ortant considerations.
First is that the group, by declining to denounce the Russian invasion of Finland, assumed the same attitude as the American Student Union. The other is that youth in general

Everv so often, we, noting an archaic aroma
amid the spirv scent of our column, feel a
tw inge of worry lest we be giving our readers too
many of the same jokes that panicked their

grandparents.

Before reading this editorial, please read the
Inters from W. P. Clark. Jr., and Professor Roy
Moreland, published on this page.
Another editorial, further explaining the work
of ho Community Chest had been written for
this spare, but upon receipt of the two letters
which rather make an "issue" of the drive, we
have- decided to trv to clear up a few notions.
In regard to Mr. Clark's letter. The Kfrm-i- .
makes no hones about leing All lor the Communis Chest. Until we received these letters,
we would have felt alout as foolish in giving
objections to the drive as we would in searching

a contribution would le put.
Both letters emphasize the fact that parents
contribute much ol students' school money, and
that students have no right to use it for the
Commiinitv Chest. In the first place, if a student
honcsilv can not afford a contribution, no one
will think less of him if he says so. But it is a
peculiar thing that those students and
who can least afford a donation are the
ones who seem to derive the greatest enjoyment
