Burlesque Christened at Last! U.D.S. presents "BOMB HAPPY" On May 6th and 7th you will thrill to the new Dramatic

Society Burlesque, "Bomb Happy," the second "all-Varsity" Burlesque to be produced.

Written by two of the authors of 194rs "St. Lucia Blues," which broke all Burlesque records by playing a third demand performance, this new, bright, super production tops their pre­vious effort as Everest tops Mount Cootha,

These two men rejoice in the names of Jim Dunn and Bill Alderman. Jim, only lately returned from the Middle East with the Ninth Division, imparts a touch of realism (?) to the battle scenes, and Bills script and choreography combine all the art of Shaw and Ma.ssine.

Bill Leece, the third collaborator in the script, has many radio plays to his credit, and his experience welds the two

. mediums of sound and sight into a new sensation that is "Bomb Happy."

When they had obtained, after much straining of the genius, a

: script; two of the authors set to work with rugged determination to mould some thirty lumps of gross human clay into the sublime airy mixture of gossamer, fairy floss, ambrosia and—er "BuU's-down," that is "Bomb Happy."

Distraught and worry-worn, weary with the labour of infinite shaping, i moulding, recasting, and retouching in trying to kindle the spark of fire and life into the dormant words of the script, at last the authors turned to producer Mat McDougall, of wide experience with Brisbane Amateur Theatres, saying:

"See, we fling you the torch of life for you' to carry into these people, make them, we pray you, stars, incandescent and scintillating, that through them the light of our magnificent words may shine like the beam of a million candle-power searchlight." ; As a man of spirit and aesthetic

sensibility, Mat McDougall under­took the task. Now he wanders forth, his face twisted with the pain of, the damned, shattered In body and weak-legged.

By the frequent application of a "Well developed sense of humour to ihe originally rough-hewn cast he has, to date, only lost three stone, all his hair and teeth, but to balance has acquired laryngitis and a palsy.

However, he swears the results havci been well worth it.

-As a result of the enomious amount of energy piit into writing, producing and organising of the bur­lesque—(Note, an eminent, engineer has worked out that if all the energy

• tisedin this burlesque were used to light Brisbane, he'd be very much sufprised)-4there is to be produced

HERE ARE THE STARS CTJTHBERT TELLS OF TALENT.

This year the Burlesque is to have a true all-star cast, every member is now, after the capable tutoring of the producer, an accomplished actor, and every part offers ample scope to the player, so that the result has been such an array of e.xcellence that it is hard to pick on anyone to feature as the star of the show. Among those who v/ill be remem­bered in previous University shows is Union President Whyte, whose portrayal of the wise but somewhat hen-pecked King Solomon, is liven­ed by an enormous variety of facial contortions which have proved far too much for JIU Dowzer, as the young and beautiful W.A.A.F,, Joy Pottski. Mick's hot words of love breathed into her shell-like ear arouse not passion, . but girlish giggles from the Arts blonde bomb­shell.

Jean Hack, another old hand, pro­duces a most convincing Boadicea, complete with bearskin gown and Grade Fields accent. Her arch­enemy is Greaser Geoff Cossins, whose Juhus Caesar carefuUy avoids any reference to the fall of Rome or the doubtful character of his. romantic interludes, and harps on' his conquest of Britain.

Cleopatra, glamour girl and sophisticate, is played by Sheila ^hedden, who roles Veronica Lake, Hedy La Marr and Ann Sheridan all into one.

Len Culpan, on special leave granted by General Macarthur—or someone—is both suitably sinister and amusing as General Toejam, chief of the Japanese forces, and specialist in teaching the art of hara kiri by numbers; a most unusual and diverting sight, you will admit. Mary MacLellasid and Coolie Streeten spend quite a lot of time together as Lady Macbeth and Will Shakespeare. Hoots mon—they do like their wee doch and doris ye ken,

TRAILER

A Scene from "Birth of. the Burlesque."

From now on its success depends on you, our public. If you will treat yourself to some pure farce from the pens of three accomplished play­wrights with keenly' developed senses of humour, we will have the biggest show on record.

Remember, that the Biiirlesque is one of the few features of Varsity life that has survived war-time re­strictions.

Remember, too,. that all proceeds go to the Red .Cross,, the worth of

.,,._. , ^ . iv - which cause need not be elaborateid. lihBrlsbaheashow w ^ worthy of a i i h e play makes no claim to be in

masterpiece of English drama, but you who see it will remember for a long time to come that side-splitting eruption of 1943, "Bomb Happy," an eruption that will make history.

THE STORY STARTS HERE. "Semper's" "Cuthbert" has given

you the general idea, but to relieve the tensed nerves of. those who would know more We show you more details. ' , ", ' , .

However, tlie birth of the Bur­lesque w?k not painless. Let us take a glimpse of the authors at work.

In the premises of that patron saint of all students, Mrs. Black, sit three fonns nibbling hashish, and taking occasional s vigs at the absolute alcohol.'

A: "How about a Pacific Islah paradise with beautiful girls, pair trees, golden sands, beautiful girl! native dancers, beautiful native girl

." Here Mrs. Black bears hit away in a coma.

B: "How about. a ...Bachinalia Revel, with real beer, real run plonk, skee and ——.". Here th beauty of his thoughts becomes to much for him and he swoons away

C, at this point started to ha\ D.T.'s and wrote the first act, an with a few helpfuU suggestions froi Mrs. Black, A and B wrote" Acts I and III.

Their labour was not over. Tl other day three mournful figure could be seen outside a Professor office biting their fingernails'ai occasionally beating the Universi' cat to ease their feelings. The reast —the censor had the Burlesque! 1 {

but Coolie is somewhat hampered by his camouflage. After all, romance in a coconut palm would have to be somewhat restricted,

A fine performance is turned in by Paul Roisenberg, who as Schmidt, the shpy, enjoys a rather hectic ex­istence inv^tigating the Women's Services, and always on the alert to acquire a French postcard with the use of the Sunflower secret camera.

Fifth-year Med. does not deter Bill Alderman from appearing once again with the U.D.S., and he is very suit­ably cast as Noah, who is always on the lookout for a capsy moppet to coddle—a most horrid old man.

MAVIS HINKLEY —• Lucree.

Those are merely the old hands, and talent scout, Cuthbert, by use of hypnotism, mesmerism, magnetism, and a wild gleam in his eye suitably terrorised innocent young men and maids into accepting parts in the show. The result—a gigantic galaxy of gorgeous girls, headed by Physio fresherette, Jean Waddell, as the Bombshell from Bishop Island, Car­men Veranda. Mavis Hinckley has deserted molars for melody," and ap­pears as Lucrece, whose beautiful voice and subtle wiles lure Jim Green far off the straight and nar­row, as Flash Gordon.

Among the other members of the cast are scientific Betty Baird, beau­tiful but baleful Dorothy Bremner, artist and a good girl—in the play, anyway.

Another tooth-tugger is Peggy Clarke, whose Florence Nightingale, a disapproving Victorian lady of the piece, is one of the high­lights. Other studes in the show

We*ve given you some idea of the show, withholding, of course, the subtle side issues and the startling conclusion, hut if you. want to see the higgest, brightest and best of Commiem. functions, come to the Burlesque. SEE the Vance of the Seven Austerity Veils, see the yassionate love story of Lucrece and Flash Gordon, see the stirringf exploits of the first A.W.A,S., Joan of Arc, and the base doings of the beautiful spy, Madame Pottski. HEAR the rousing battle chorus of the Allies, the melodic beauty of the love songs. Carmen Veranda's song for Victory, and the JiotcJia music of "I Came, I Saw, I Conga'd" played by rhythm master, Frank Kendall and his orchestra. FEEL the constant de­sire to laugh; in fact, you'll find it hard to stop laughing from beginning to end. Already enthusiasts have started hooking at Paling's. Go thou and do likewise.

NOTE.—Owing to war-time restrictions unreserved tickets will be available only at the doors of the Albert Hall at 7.30. Overture starts on the tick of 7.50.

include Alan Reeve, sinister as Genghis Khan; Spencer Scott, who provides a good deal of local colour to Professor Pottski; Eric Brier, majestic as the Mikado; "Freddie" Noon, as artful Albert; Trevor Whalley, as the Poonah General;

Joan Dunn and John Nye, fifth-year Meds. both, as Joan of Arc and Napoleon; and science stude, Rose­mary Lloyd, in seven austerity veils as Salome, not to mention thousands of extras for milling crowd scenes, furious battle clashes, etc.

THEN THE MUSIC These are the pinnacle of magnificence of the show. When the drama is at its highest and you shiver in a fever

of suspense there comes stealing softly through the scene a glorious melody, specially composed and with the lilt in it that will keep them on your lips till jacarandas still all song.

Sprinkled all through are ballets and songs of beauty—they provide a welcome breath anyway—laughing for two and a half hours continuously is most exhausting.

Bill Leece, musical genius and composer of the "Rhapsody in Rum" and the "Cocaine Concerto," rattled off some new songs for the show, including "Tu es mon seul Amour" and "A Man to Love/' the last a torch number with words by Peg Clark, both to be sung by Mavis Hinckley, and which do credit to her

she has given all her grace of line and beauty of motion to our ballets so that, by proxy, another star will be revealed to you.

You'll scream when you see the burlesque version of the Ballet Russe featuring the Mikado, Toe-jam and the Three Furies. The Furies, incidentally, are the mystery girls of the show—^who are these three beautiful masked maidens, with their rich, husky voices and glorious figures?

Stage management and decorations are by Tanglefoot Adair, "Semper" Editor and well-known fourth-year Engineer. Leading ladies—usher­ettes to those who may misunder­stand—are required for both nights, and offers for these will be grate­fully aclaiowledged by Peg Clarke (Dentistry), Jill Dowzer (Arts), and Jean Waddell (Physiotherapy).

PROFESSOR POTTSia RECALLS SPIRITS

TO LIFE (By Penny Peeper's Special Snoop.)

In a small laboratory "Somewhere in Queensland" 1 saw Professor Pottski, eminent scientist, famous for his discovery of his wife, materialize spirits of the past, whose experience will materially assist the war effort

Due to a slight hitch in proceed­ings (caused by an erratic member. Qua Hospich) the spirits material­ised were of varying periods back to Noah. This supposedly venerable old man, who should have confined his attentions to naval problems, behaved like one of those gentle­men about whom you have been warned, and looks very like that eminent playwright. Bill Alderman.

All the people who trap young students of Junior Public Examina­tion history appear, Caesar, Boadi­cea, Joan of Arc, Solomon, Flo. Nightingale, and others, all doing their best for the war effort, and Cleopatra, Salome, Lucrece and Carmen Verandah, for the Enter­tainments and Comforts Corps.

The villainous Mikado plants his foul fifth column, but is effectively — no! that would be telling.

For the rest—May 6th and 7th at the Albert Theatre.

AUSTERITY ?

WHAT PEACE DO YOH WANT?

The perspicacity of our politicians is continually amazing to simple people like'ourselves.

Time and time again, out of the depths of their vast intellect, they bring forth, with the unassuming smile of a conjuror, red herrings and wild geese.

Dimly, lately, they have begun to realise that something is wrong in the State of Queensland. A necessary article is unobtainable, a workman goes to work without trousers, or a baby to bed without its nappy.

Angry letters are written and all these emanate from (Queensland,

Never has a greater disregard for the obvious been shown by those whose business it is to see the obvious.

To those who only see Brisbane and have no outside stan­dard of judgment, Queensland's standard of living has dropped in parallel with other States as required by the war.

To politicians, with frequent trips to other States, it should be easy to judge that Queensland's living standard has dropped more than any other Eastern State.

To the.Queehslanders who travelled to Sydney or Melbourne last vacation the change in living standards was a revelation.

Compare Melbourne with Brisbane. Cafes there are open till 11,30 of midnight to cater for after theatre crowds.

Dance halls, cabarets, night clubs open till 2 a,m,, while friendly lurching all-night trams take weary dancers home.

Bottled beer is' available to the drinker who is prepared to look hard for it, and diners in cafes and hotels order their bottles of wine with confidence.

Camera films could be bought with a little trouble. Seekers after fountain pens made their appointments with the jeweller and got them.

Pleasantly the time slips by. Workers in engineering indus­tries, by the diligent use of strikes, have boosted their wages so that the Commonwealth Government has been forced to increase taxes to keep their spending capacity down (neglecting the Queenslander who, on the average, is earning approximately the same wage as in pre-war days).

Secondary industries, allowed only to manufacture a quota of goods for civilians, pour this quota out on the surrounding districts and no longer support outside areas like ourselves who are employed chiefly on primary industries.

So they live in comparative plenty, while we live in •' austerity.

And after about a year of that our politicians are just begin­ning to realise it.

And yet, in the face of its "State-mindedness," the Com­monwealth Government is trying to obtain power over all States for reconstruction after the war. A reconstruction that will embrace New South Wales and Victoria at the expense of other States.

In no way has the Commonwealth Government shown its '' capacity to govern the whole of Australia efficiently for its ad­

vancement ;.• It is up to our State Parliament to deny to the Common­wealth any right to administer us for the good of the already

/w-ellrdeyeloped-Southern States. i : ;;!:Vi : i^d it is up to.us tb demand that they do deny the Com->:?indriweal&this right. • -, • • : , ';, , . , ...

At a public meeting to be held at the Brisbane Women's Club, Tatter-sail's Arcade, corner of Queen and Edward Streets, at 8 p.m. Friday, April 30th, the following resolution will be introduced by Mr. R. J. F. Boyer, M.A,, of the Australian Broadcasting Commission:—

That Australia should whole­heartedly associate itself with the rest of the British Empire and the other United Nations, including at least the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub­lics, and the Republic of China, in the formation of a world organisa­tion, controlling an international army and policing force, for the establishment of world peace, justice and order. Further, that the world organisation should be so constituted as to allow ultimately the inclusion of all nations among its members.

The motion will be seconded by Archbishop Wand, supported by Mr. Wheller, President of the Council of Churches, and will be open to dis­cussion by the meeting, to which all members of the League of Nations Union and others interested in the re-establishment of world order are invited.

Tlie league is anxious to give the public an opportunity to consider the question whether we, as Aus­tralians, should seek, after the war, to influence the course of inter­national affairs through our political representatives, or whether we should leave them to choose their own policy, or to be influenced by others more clear-minded and deter­mined than we are.

In the future world order, we must rely for the preservation of peace and order either on the free compliance of all Governments with international law, or on an inter­national force, ultimately to be con­trolled and maintained by all, or on the formation of a limited circle of dominant Powers.

If we organise an international force, the question arises whether it will be controlled by the League of Nations or a new body. The para­mount importance of the issue is obvious, and it is hoped that the meeting will lead to practical and profitable discussion,

This year the students have de­cided to renew this custom, the Pro­fessors" have smiled benignly, facil­ities in the Departments of Biol., Chem., Eng., Geol., and Physiol, have been lined up. • And so the works are oiled for this

Sir,—Let us offer up a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving that there are no more Commem. Pracs. this year. Another effort like the last, and the fair -name • of Commem. Prac. would be blackened forever. To be quite candid, the music stank. In saying that, I know 1 am support­ed by the great majority of those present. The music consisted en­tirely of American swing muck, and those other nameless masterpieces which are a horrible heterogeneous collection of shrielcs and groans. I defy anyone in the world to dance to them.

This year all the playing of re­cords was done by a small bigoted clique, largely influenced by out­siders to the University, who cared not a damn what the mob wanted.

Next year we should have an appointed player of records, and a representative committee of students to decide what the ma­jority want and see that it is played. Yours, etc.,

The record meeting of this year's Union Councillors saw the Classics Room filled as seldom before with fair women and brave men who ar­rived, as usual, almost on time. Without ado, President Whyte de­clared the meeting open, and your noble councillors settled down to business.

First came the ratification ot new delegates to the Council, These are: Misses J. Park (Ev, and E. Stu­dents), A. Darvall (Arts), B, Cherry (Ag. Science), J. Maher (Phys. Ed.), Messrs. B. Anderson, O. Kindewater (Sc. and Eng.), D. McAlpine (Law), J. Cormor (Conunerce),

Highlight of the evening was the friendly vendetta between the Secretary of the Med. Students and the Men's Club President. The abovementioned fair women and brave men held their breath at the rapier thrusts of with (?) that char­acterised the speeches of both parties. It seems that the Men's Club monies, mentioned at last Union general meeting have not yet been forgotten, and the rather tactless meiition on money spent on "general jollification" is still a red rag (or a bull) to some delegates.

It was proposed that steps be taken through the N.U.A.U.S. to in­stitute an exchange between Chinese and Australian students. The matter was left in the hands of the local secretary of the N.U.A.U.S.

In place of Mr. Mahoney, Mr. N. Palethorpe was appointed Turbot. Street reresentative on the Council. Before the meeting concluded it was decided, to promote better Inter-Faculty feelings, to hold the next Union General Meeting and the next Union Council Meeting at Herston.

NOT .MHCIl M m SPILT QUIET SEVEN-A-SIpE

The Seven-a-Side Hockey Car­nival held on Wednesday, 21st ^ AprU, was an absolute success. * There was a good attendance, the fair sex was. present in large numbers, and the chocolates were delicious. Most of the would-be players wore'

at Victoria Park at 2 o'clock, and after the preliminary identification of players for the respective teams was completed, the 12 teams com­peting in the first round took the field.

Many unseasoned players (not for­getting the seasoned members also) were tired and sore at the close of play, but no one denied the fact that the hockey provided a delightful afternoon's entertainment. The only casualty was President Traves, who in a desperate attempt to score, was met by a head-on charge from one of the opposing team and suffered a split lip as a result of this "tete-a-tete."

The winners of the carnival was the team captained by G. Cossins, which defeated Ted Troedson's team in the final.

The large attendance was very gratifying to the Hockey executive, which is to be congratulated on its organisation and enthusiasm in mak­ing possible such a fine social func­tion.
