Drama Is Not
Single Art Form
Says Dr. Lembke
"To my mind there is not just
a form which is comedy, a form
which is tragedy, a form which is,
indeed, a play," stated Dr. Russell
W. Lembke, associate professor of
speech, last Wednesday afternoon
to a large and enthusiastic audience in his discussion of plays that
have appeared on Broadway in the
past year.
He stated that of the plays
which have recently appeared on
Broadway;, just about every variety is represented; some that
are serious and others that are
gay and farcical.
Among the latter mentioned were
Born    Yesterday    and  Brigadoon,
"which tend to 'round qut' the elements, to achieve *an harmonic
completeness at* the end of each
story." Also included in this category were the musical comedies.
Among the serious plays were
Medea, Command Decision, and A
Street-car Called Desire which
"search out the ugliness of life and
leave life still ugly when the play
ends."
"Discordant features in art
have always had an appeal," according to Professor Lembke, "and
many believe they give a clearer
insight into actuality, and ' add
the exhilaration of conflict—always elements of aesthetic valuation/**
Dr. Lembke believes that in a
democracy, we should encourage
pioneering in art.
"For one thing it may serve to
counteract the arbitrary attempt
to squeeze all plays into a tight
little mould. Throwing 'comedies'

Cost is Named
for Royal Family
The cast for the summer play,
"The Royal Family," has been announced by Assoc. Prof. Fred R.
Bush, dramatics coach.
The play's plot and humor revolve around the struggles encountered by a family of actors torn by
an intense loyalty to their profession and, at the same time, a desire
to forsake it. The action of the
play takes place in the family's
New York City duplex apartment.
The cast which will portray members of the family,- their friends
and servants are as follows:
Delia      Joan Ellis
Jo      George Nesbitt
A hallboy    Orville Emery
McDermott   Dan Reed
Herbert Dean     Wells Cook
Kitty Dean   Joan Bowne
Gwen    .■    Martha Foltz
Perry Stewart   Charles Harrow
Fanny Cavendish   Joan Bush
Oscar Wolfe .. Randall Robertson
Julie Cavendish   Meegan Kelly
Anthony Cavendish .. John Gregory
Another hallboy     Bill Figg
Gilbert Marshall William Doehring
Gunga   Allen Robertson
Miss Peake   Jean SUtter
Chauffeur  Robert Hoxie
Although the authors, George
Kaufman and Edna Ferber, strongly deny it, many people who have
seen the Broadway presentation of
"The Royal Family" insist that the
theater's "First Family," the Barry-
mores, John, Ethel and Diana, is
the subject of the presentation.
