con nelly's dream fantasy beggar on horseback was given excellent treatment friday evening in drown hall by the mustard and cheese and faculty dramatic clubs before one of the largest audiences that has witnessed a dramatic presentation in the university in many a year neil mcßae the young composer losing sleep making little money living in a general atmosphere of poverty and in love with cynthia mason is tempted to marry wealth — wealth that is newly gained hence rather dangerous just as he has promised to marry gladys cady — over the telephone — he falls asleep and has a rather convincing night mare — principally about widgets and the cadys upon awakening he decides he wants cynthia mcßae's dream is the hilarious part of the play he marries gla dys night-club parties and friends of the family are inflicted upon him he takes part in a business confer ence and is presented with several million dollars by this time a gen eral feeling of disgust pervades the young composer he kills the whole family he is tried found guilty and sentenced to write popular songs for the remainder of his life and so continues the fantasy messrs kaufman and connely have the necessary technique to make the satire of the dream predominate plot and settings are inconsequen tial joel rothenberg as mr cady typifies the american business man he is particularly adapted to the part and certainly no one had

as anything i have seen lately armed with a conspicuous pair of horn rimmed spectacles and a monstrous hand-bag every move that she makes is well timed she has cer tainly mastered the technique of stage business satire is expressionistic the dream idea in effecting sa tire called — by common concensus of opinion — expressionism is a bit more acid than any oth er method of satire the play was inspired by hans sonnentoesser's hohlenfahrt a short play by paul apel produced in germany some ten or twelve years ago the auth ors did not follow the original very closely but applied the idea in an american atmosphere messrs kaufman and connelly have achieved some potent satire direct ed towards everything american including radios mass production politics and the general american tendency to do everything in a big way it is a play writes one crit is written in distaste than can be inspired by the viewpoint the com placency and the very idiom of ro tarian america sub-freshmen visit campu oil
