"The Pudding Show's name is "Who's Who"
No one knows what it means but do you?
It's a movie, perchance,
Or a Spanish romance,
But whatever it is, it is new."
Out of over 50 answers submitted in the Freshman Limerick Competition, the last two lines above have been judged the best. The first prize of two tickets to the undergraduate performance on Friday night was mailed last, night to their author, Shiras Morris Jr. '27 of Hartford, Conn. The second prize of one ticket was awarded to James Richard Bunker '27 of South Bend, Ind., for the following last lines:
"Or it may be a dance,
But just come and you'll see what they do."
The arrival of costumes and scenery from New York at last enabled the Hasty Pudding cast to begin dress rehearsals. All day yesterday was spent in fixing up the sets and the lighting apparatus so that all will be in readiness for the dress rehearsal tonight.
The contrast between the different scenic effects in the two acts of "Who's Who" is one of the most startling imaginable. While that in the second act is most gorgeous and elaborate, the first act is played on an undecorated stage. The comedy skit "Antony and Cleopatra" is the high spot of the first act and yet the colored comedians perform as if in rehearsal, on the bare boards.
When a wandering troubadour sings "Monterey", the song-hit of the show, at the beginning of the second act, the costumes, scenery and lighting effects begin to grow more startling and when E. N. Carson '24, as Francesca, sings "I'm a Lonely Senorita", the play reaches the climax of its Spanish atmosphere.
