...Box Seats presents the struggle of a lady with a shady past to keep her daughter out 01 the shade. After a fine first act in which the lady in question, well played by Joan Storm, fights with the man who has been keeping her and takes a job in a traveling burlesque show, Author Edward Massey gets so many ideas that he has no more time for true writing. He turns for help to a theatrical cliché-the daughter (Patricia Barclay) falls in love with a man who has been her mother's lover. But even...

Coach F. G. Mitchell plans to give F. B. Cutts '28 a much-needed workout on the mound.

...pudding of the theatre, containing not even a raison d'etre. Such was what some of the critics who attended its initial performance discovered it to be: not quite sure whether the play had been successful in its attempt to understand them, they wrote scornful words which the box-office at least could not fail to find intelligible.
