Elements of 'Blithe Spirit9 Not Balanced, Says Stern By Dick Stern Good drawing-room comedy is played in somewhat the same manner as a good game of ten nis. A change of pace and -the speedy batting of the respec tive materials to unsuspected places are the main elements of success in both ventures. A good spicing of these ingredients would have made the Playmaker version of Noel Coward's comedy a far better production. As it was, "Blithe Spirit" had enough good lines to avert the fiasco that a rather unsubtle cast and an1 overworked plot predicted. The comedy itself is almost totally without the warm Ih. and concise characterization that are the distinguishing and lasting features of any good comedy. Only one character, the 1 1 " TUT 1 Dusmess-iiKe meaium iviaaame Arcati, played erratically, but usually amusingly by Marion Fitz-Simons, raises the play above the ordinary of this type CiLf In UNITED PRESS Four Day Arts Festival Scheduled for April 17-20 Affair to Follow Carolina Workshop Idea; Title and Theme to Be Selected by Group A four-day spring festival patterned after the old Carolina Workshop and combining the efforts of members of the depart ments of art, music, radio, journalism, dance, and drama in the University will be held on the campus from April 17-20, it was learned here yesterday. v Veterans Club Plans Parties Program of Events Scheduled in March A full program of social events has been planned for the first week of the spring term, according to the Vets social committee.

'BestLooking Man' Contest Entries To Be in Monday Any organization, . including sororities and women's dorms, may sponsor entries in the Caro lina Mag contest for the "Best Looking Man at Carolina", an nounces Connie Henren, Mag editor. Many entries have already been submitted to the committee. All nominations must be in by midnight Monday. Individual nominations will not be accept ed. The winner will be featured in the April Mag. The Carolina Theatre will give free tickets; the Porthole is donating two free meals; and Wootten-Moul-ton will make three 8 by 10 por traits of the most handsome man. The winner will also be awarded a gift from the Carolina Sport Shop. of fantastic comedy. Mrs. Fitz Simons was neither as enthusi astic nor as naive as the role demanded, though she, more than the rest of the cast seem ed to understand all her lines and situations. The director, Foster Fitz-Sim ons shot the players around the stage with almost enough speed, though neglected to squeeze as much burlesque out of the play as might be desirable : witness the frightening of Edith at the end of the second act, which might have been more successful if she had puzzledly turned off the phonograph one more time. The cast was on the whole less than adequate. LeRoy Love's enthusiasm for the role seemed to be beyond his capacity, while Lois Warnshuis' Ruth was only a good imitation of what Ruth ought to be, having all the man nerisms but .none of the feeling that the cast called for.

NEWS Work Shop Planned Hood Tapped Trustees Approve NUMBER 34 the fields will be brought here to highlight the festival and original productions in each of the departments represented will be presented. A title and theme for this spring festival has not been selected as yet but a council of students and faculty advisers are at work on an ap propriate title. A strictly student enterprise, the festival will follow closely the idea established in 1942 when a group of students founded the Carolina Workshop, an organi zation having as its purpose the promotion and encouragement of creative work among the stu dents on the campus and bring ing those students into closer contact with each other and with the other students in the Uni versity. This year's festival will be the fifth annual one and one of the most enterprising ones yet given. During the war years, modified programs were given to meet existing conditions, but plans call for the festival to re turn to its original high stan dards this spring. Included on the four-day pro gram will be a large banquet the opening night to the general public at which administrative and faculty leaders, guest speak ers, departmental heads, and students will be present to strike the theme of the festival. Although a final program of events has not as yet been work ed .out, tentative arrangements call for a complete set of Play- maker experimentals to be given one night, a radio show to be given by the University Radio studio, a dance program creat ed by the dance department, and an outdoor art exhibit of student works to be held in the Y court. The two noted speakers being sought to come here will probab ly appear during the evening programs. Climax of the festi val will be a Beaux Arts costume ball to be given Saturday night, April 20. A tea dance has also been tentatively planned to be given in the Y court in conjunc tion with the art exhibition. A student committee to direct the festival has been elected by a council of those most interest ed in the program which con sists of Charles Gaylord, chair man, Bill Workman, secretary, and Westy Fenhagen, publicity director. In addition to these three, the council is composed of Charlie Vance, president of the student body, Archie Hood, past delegata of the Grail, Helen Tiranoff, curator of the Person Hall gallery," Jane Grills, direc tor of University radio studio, Mrs. Billy Albright, director of the University dance group, Emily Porter, graduate assistant in the music department, Kai Jurgenson, assistant director of the Playmakers, and Jane Shi vell. Announcement of the panel of speakers and artists to ap pear at the festival will be made I at the begnnng of next term.
