ff POTPOURRI PROVIDES VARIETY The Quadrivial Potpourri, four one act plays, was staged March 12 to 15. The Potpourri, a new innovation for Cal Westerns Fine Arts Department, was warmly received by all. The plays rang- ed from tragedy to light comedy, each carrying a special message. The divers- ity was interesting and enjoyable. HOPE IS A THING WITH FEATHERS A story of hope and despair, the actors brought forth the trials of a group of bums in a New York park. THE WONDER HAT This one act revolved around the plot of o coquette and her ad- mirers. The lass v ore magic shoes to entrap her men; her true lover, determined not to get caught, made himself invisible by wearing a wonder hat. THE STRONGER who is really the strongest: the wife or the silent mistress? is the plot of this play. Sheila Duffy, as the wife, and Leonna Rayenzahn, the now- reiected one, compete in a battle of wits. The wife talks, the mistress merely facially shows her reactions. It was a moving play with subtle tragedy. A SUNNY MORNING The story of two lovers, meeting for the first time in thirty-odd years made a ve;y enjoyable play.
