Dir- ector Bob Pollock stated that he {fully expected to be “batty” enough to take the job himself by |the time the stage sets are com- |pleted for the scheduled opening lon Thursday, February 12. The producers, however, just smile and go right ahead making a large but- j terfly net that is aes enough to catch a man... . they know what they’re doing! : | Meanwhile, Emily Goddard is slyly becoming so proficient at waving a gun so aimlessly that by opening night she will be able to draw a dead aim on the props girl Audrey Greenbaum, even if electrician Norman Street does turn out the lights off cue. Mrs. |Goddard is playing the most diffi- {cult par in the show as Cornelia Van Gotder, a spinster afflicted with “‘detectiveism”, which is what her maid, Lizzie, calls it. Lizzie, | incidentally, is played by Gertrude Splaine, who gets burned fore and ay so often she can neither walk {nor sit.

If The Players ever do Shakespeare, Burnham will have the opportunity to pull out all the stops, with which he is obviously very familiar. Speaking of Shakespeare, you plays the female love interest in “The Bat’. Recently she was on tour with a professional Shakes- pearian group, which, in this day and age of qualified amateur critics, réquires perfect perfor- mance. While she does not have tion, her experience in summer and winter stock enables her to get the most out of them. Young and pretty, many prophesie that Deb- Kew West Players finds of the year, David Huschle is Brooks, who is engaged to Dale Ogden (Debbie Brown) and turns in a very engag- ing performance in more than just the “being engaged’’ angle. Dave’s background will be described more fully in a later edition along with the rest of the cast. It is iinteresting to note that | “The Bat” is currently playing on Broadway, having opened there | January 22, 1953, and was very} well received by the public and critics.

S. to resume direct economic aid. Only two weeks ago, the Dutch had announced the recovery of suf- |ficient economic strength to re- nounce further ‘direct American jeconomic help this year. The storm striking from the North Sea drastically altered that forecast, however. Losses to prop- erty and crops and the immense cost of rebuilding the country’s torn dike system are estimated by jfome authorities at a billion dol- jlars. | Dutch Foreign Minister J. W. 'Beyen told newsmen shortly after |Dulles’ departure that “the Neth- ” | erlands government cannot gauge yet whether the flood damage and | its aftermath will interfere with its defense commitments.” Beyen strongly denied reports that government officials had told Dulles and Stassen Holland would not be able to meet its commit- ments to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization this year. Beyen said he could not predict what the situation might be a few months from now but declared, “I repeat, that at this moment it is impossible to survey the cost of | reconstruction involved.” Four members. of the French ‘Navy undergoing instruction at the Fleet All Weather Training Unit, Atlantic, are posed in front of a Grumman Hellcat at the |Naval Air Station, Key West.
