PAGE SIX “Squaring The Cire Uproarious Comedy On Marriage Tonight there is a dress re- hearsal of “Squaring the Circle” which is to be presented tomor- row night at the Harris School at 8:15 o'clock, by the Key West Players. “Squaring the Circle” Toarius comedy on problems in Soviet Russia. is up- marriage cess everywhere.

The play opens when Vasya, a confirmed bachelor, brings his bride, Ludmila back to his apart- ment; and tri to conceal the fact that he shares it with room mates, Abraham and Emiliah, poct of the masses.

Four is the wrong !calculation, however, because at |this point enters Emilian, wild, childish poet, to claim his share | of the room. So we have the newly weds; privacy is afforded by a chalk line, and Emilian sleeps on a bench in front. Tempers are frayed, the chalk line is clan-! destinely violated, and the Rus- sians are wildly distraught in what seems to them an_insolv- able dilemma, when Novikov, the | commissar, pays them a_ visit. He solves their dilemma after the Russians have exhausted them-| selves in unrestrained outbursts of traditional Russian temper- ment. i The comedy is one of character as well as situation, and the plot is an interesting departure from the usual triangle. For here we have four instead of three. “Squaring the Circle’ is new, in-| teresting and gloriously funny. | confysion SHORT SHORT-STORIES “Do you find, judge, that most | of those who appear before you with for divorce are people who married in haste?” “Well, I don’t know as I can that they are; but there’s one thing I do know”. “What's that?” ‘Most of them marry in haste the divorces ar petitions say as granted”. soon as 4,000 GODFATHERS—Most of us atisfied with a godfather or two but a littke German prin- cess was blessed with an e a- ordinary number of godfathers— about 4,000 of — the in fact.

The British Parliament gave him two million dollars and the grateful Britains bought him a magnificent estate valued at more than a million dollars. In addition, he was granted an an- nual pension of $25,000 but the Pension was only to run for three generations. When the third duke died in the year 1900, the pension ceased, and the fourth generation of the name came to his title very, very hard up, loaded down with titles but with little in the WHEN AMERICA WAS YOUNG Our — Revolutionary forefathers had little time or in- clination for art and the artist's lot was a hard one in those days.
