Be The Mar, Who
Came To Dinner

Arthur Noble will be following
such famous actors as Monty Wool
ley, Clifton Webb and Taylor Hol-
mes in the role of acid-tongued
Sheridan Whiteside when he plays
''The Man Who Came to Dinner"
in the production of George S.
Kaufman and Moss Hart's convuls-
ing comedy success to be given
here at the High School on Dec
ember / and by the Senior Class.
Originally written as an acting
part for the authors chum, the
late Alexander Woollcott, whose ar
senic and old lace DISPOSITION the
play lampoons, the character of
Sheridan Whiteside is full of the
carbolic acid of human kindness.
He is in turn suave, charming,
astringent, rude, and properly lack
ing in group consciousness.
Among the celebrities who help
the famous lecturer turn the home
OF q small-town Ohio family into
a madhouse are characters clearly
burlesquing, though not naming,
Mole Coward, Harop Marx and
famous actress which libel laws
prevent naming here.
The Noel Coward character, ac-
tually called in the play, Beverly
Carlton or DestinS's Tot, will be
played here by Dennis jolly while
the role of Banjo" who might be
a caricatune of Harpo or a COM
posite of all three of the zany
Marxes, has been assigned to Rob-
ert Delgado.
As Lorraine, the predatory ac-
tress, who is finally spirited off in
q mummy case as part of the hi
jinks in ''The Man Who Came To
Dinner" will be seen Gale Varela.
Other members Of the Senior
class who will play leading roles
In this sparkling comedy include
Joe Ann Atwell, as Maggie, White
sides spirited secretary; Jack Nc
Donough as Bert, Maggie's report
er boyfriend whom she almost
loses due to Whiteside's medd-
ling; and Joan Knowles as Miss
Preen, Whiteside's nurse, whom
he addresses contemporary as
Miss eBdpan."
Others in the cast win be Frank
Hood, Gail Simpson, Mary Harris,
Ray Perez, Milly Taylor, and Dean
ne Di Primo.
Hailed by many critics as the
funniest play the celebrated Kauf-
man and Hart have written, "The
Man Who Came To Dinner" is a
worthy companion to such others

'Mixup' Is Blamed
For Howard Choir's
Missing G. O.P. Fefe

The failure of Howard Uni
versity's choir to perform at the
Lincoln Day box supper in Uline
Arena was due to a mixup over
which door they should enter. a
university spokesman said today.
The fact that the choir was
scheduled to perform, but didn't.
came to light today when a
Negro woman reporter asked
President Eisenhower if he had
been informed that the Howard
choir had been barred from tax
ing part in the program.
The President said he could
not believe it happened for any
reason of race. If such a thing
had happened, he said, he would
be the first to apologize.
Otto McClarrin, Howard press
director, explained later that a
mixup was responsible. The choir
went to the armory. he said, but
was told by a policeman to go
to another door. They went to
the door indicated. but a police
man there sent them back to the
first entrance. When they again
were refused admission by that
door. they went back to the uni
VerSity.
