Selection of Beauties Begins

by cl,IIT ItOCKWKI.L
A New York police precinct
; station was the scene; through its
; portals passed the most unbeliev-
j able characters in the world. Sid-
ney Kingsley's play "Detective
j Story" caught the true picture in
j a net of biting dialogue.
Kingsley's dialogue and the com-
j plexity of his conflict patterns were
captured just as well by Robert
! Lindley's portrayal of Detective
j McLeod in the College Players'
I production of "Detective Story"
i Tuesday night in the Studio thea-
tre.
Through the entire play, Lind-
ley's booming voice carried the i
| action smoothly and effectively.!
Lindlcy was helped considerably by |
bis supporting cast. Although there
were a few cases of opening-night
to handle. The character had to
provide the moral of the play and
yet not be obvious or out of char-
acter. Collagan's performance did
I >ot h.
Dina Wallace, as the shoplifter,
almost stole the show with a falset-
to voice, her mannerisms, and sta>;u
presence. But every one of the 31
performers turned in more than
ailei|iiate performances. Sincerity
and realism were found in every
role.
Perhaps the poorest part of the
whole production was the attempt
at a musical background effect.
| it fell flat because of its length;
| it produced no effect at all.
Letters are being mailed this
week to all campus organizations

The Yucca staff requests that all

beauty nominations submit their
i selections to the Y ucca staff as

cluding sororities, fraternities, and

i Texas coed.
If more than one organization
i nominates the same girl, the one
j turning in the nomination first
I will be allowed to sponsor her,
