basement stairs and the musical tinkle of glass upon glass upon glass is the houseparty symphony then too brash bangs of hammers on wood and the rushing sputter of lehigh's nector from 34 taps can also be regarded as sheer music to over 4,000 ears the actors and actresses featured in the big hp play will be feted at pre-theater dinners friday night at fraternities and the university center cocktails are expected to whet many appetites before dinner at 9 the first-act curtain rises in the grace theater the stars will dance to dorsey mcclister and the kingsmen until 1 a.m after a short
