Other excellent performances

actions were ill disguise as a girl

gave the best performance of the
entire play. From tho beginning
when he said to the audience.
"Ninety-nine per cent of us are
fools, and tho rest are In danger
of contagion." to the final curtain
ho stood out from the rest of the
cast.
Davidson proved to those who
saw him In last year's production
"Look Homeward, Angel" that a
good actor can be convincing ln
both dramatic and comedy roles.
Unfortunately, some parts were
not aa good. For example, al¬
though talks to the audience were
usually very effective, a perfectly
good ending was ruined by one of
these contrived conversation a.

One had the feeling through¬
out   the   play   that   Robert   Ellis
wished he was back playing Eu¬
gene In "Look Homeward, Ant-el."
Whatever the reason, ho was not
very convincing in the part of boy
friend. Another cast member,
Helen West, gave a mediocre per¬
formance as Ellis' fiancee.
Maybe the problem arose In the
fact   they   weren't   given   funny

Dateline—Paris
By SHAROff FISH
Collegian Correspondent
Paris, Franco
Oar plane was three minutes
outside or Paris and the French
officer aboard came lo me with
A tragic expression and said "Je
regrette Mademoiselle" and a
flow of words I did not under¬
stand. He continued down the
plane giving this message of re¬
gret, whatever It was, to all tbe
passengers. From his very sad
expression I was certain the plane
was going to crash so I said a
prayer and braced myself. Then
the English speaking steward
came by and told me the captain
regretted to tell mo that It la
snowing In Paris and they all felt
so badly that a newcomer must
see beautiful Paris bidden under
a blanket of snow. I unbraced
myself, uncrossed my fingers and
said that Paris would look beau¬
tiful to me If lt were covered
with mud.
Typically French
Rut hla attitude la typically
French ... a fierce desire for all
tourists to see Paris at Its best
and to appreciate to the fullest
the many beauties here.
French custom officers tip their
hats, shrug their shoulders and
wavo passengers through quite
unconcerned with luggage or its
contents. Remembering the fer¬
vid scrambling I saw luggage go
through at the Los Angeles air¬
port, this nonchslance was a wel¬
come relief.
I asked a Frenchman If pedes¬
trians bad any right-of-way.
"Onl, Mademoiselle. Ton most
walk between the white lines,"
he said. "The care will hit you If
they can."
Be waa right. It'a an adventure
here every day Just to cross the
street The thing to do Is to start
serosa and as the cars -tome at
you, shake your finger at them
and hope they stop. Sometimes
they do. Other times It Is like a
game or dodge ball with you the
target. Small wonder the French
people stay young.
Clutched Arm
No one can be prepared for
their first glimpse of the Eiffel
Tower. I've seen pictures and pic¬
tures or it, yet was totally amated
at what I aaw. I saw It first while
riding In the airlines bus from
the terminal to the center of
town. I could do nothing but gasp
and grab the arm of an English
hoy that happened to sit next to
me. I didn't—stilt don't—know
him. But It wss so very beautiful
. . . the proud French call It the
"stairway to infinity."
I sat clutching the bey's arm
until the tower was onl ot sight,
only then realising he wss a
stranger. He. although a little
surprised, said nothing. He's seen
the tower a thousand times and
understood.
It was the first moment I
really believed I wss ln Paris.

HAIL TO THE DEAN!
Today let us examine that much maligned, widely n
stood, grossly overworked, wholly dedicated campus figure—
the dean.
The dean (from tbe latin Deonere—to expel) is not, aa many
think, primarily a disciplinary officer. He is a counselor and
guide, a haven and refuge for the troubled student The dean
(from the Greek Deonot—to skewer) is characterised chiefly hy
sympathy, wisdom, patience, forbearance, and a rondneea for
homely plea-jura like community ringing, farina, spelldowns,
and Marlboro Cigarettes. The dean (from the German Deange-
macht ■ to poop a party) ia fond of Marlboro* lor the same
reason that all men of good will are fond of Mar I bo ros—because
Marlboro is an Konett cigarette. Those good Marlboro tobaccos
are honestly good, honestly aged to the peak of perfection, hon¬
estly blended for the beet of all possible flavors.   Marlboro
honestly comes in two different containers —a soft pack which	
is honestly soft-and a Flip-Top box which honestly flips. Yon
too will flip when next you try an honest Marlboro, which, one
honestly hopes, will be soon.
iw il Udirfeyein yfyb
But I dlgres. We were learning how a dean balpe poor,
troubled undergraduate*. To illustrate, let us take a typical
esse from the files of Dean 8 of the University of Y	
(Oh, why be 00 myiterioosT Tbe dean's name is Sigafoos aad
the University is Yutah.)
Wise, kindly Dean Sigafoos wss visited one day by a 'renJr-r-
man named Walter Aguincourt who came to ask permission to
marry one BBHB> Blenheim, his dormitory laundress. To the
dean the marriage seemed ill-advised, for Walter was only 18
yean old snd Emma waa 91. Walter agreed with tbe dean, bat
■aid ha felt obligated to go through with it because Emma had
invested her Life savings in a transparent; rsinhood to protect
her from the mist at Niagara Falls, where they planned to spend
their honeymoon. If Walter called off the wedding, what vme
would tbe poor woman possibly have for a rsinhood in Yutshf
The wise, kindly dean pondered briefly and came up with a
brilliant answer: let Walter punch holes in the back of Emma's
steam iron. With steam billowing back at the old lady, she
would find a lainhood very useful-poeaibly even emtmtisl.
Whimpering with gratitude, Walter kissed the dean's Phi
Beta Kappa key and hastened away tn follow his advice—and
the m-ults, I am pleased to report, were madly ■ucB—rnlt
Today Emma is a happy wotMa-ainging lustily, wesrins;
her reinbood, eating -eft-center ohoeolates. and ironing clothe.
-twice as happy, to bo candid, than if she had married Walter
.. . And what of WalterT He is happy too. Freed from hia un¬
wanted liaison with BMM, be mimed n giri much nearer his
own age—Agnes Yucca, 73. Walter is sow the pnod father—
4-pfather, to bo perfectly accurate—oi three fine, healthy
boys from Agnes's first marriage—Ererett, 38; Wunetm, 43;
and Irving, 55—and when Wei ter puts ths boys on a lend and
takes them for a stroll in the park on Sunday afternoon, you
may be sure there jp not a dry eye in Yu tah.
And Dean Sigafoos! He too is happy—happy to spend long,
tiring hours in his little ofBoe, giving oounsel without stint and
without complaint, doing his bit to set the young, nwsrtaia
feet ol his charges on the path to a brighter tomanow.
