Sex, Swine, Section Men Flit In Funster Follies

A fast moving review in nine scenes, "The Funster Follies of 1940" has been promised as part of the Dunster House Annual Christmas Party tonight. Following a formal dinner and the play, a dance from 10 to 2 will be open to the paying public.

The review includes everything from the sociology of sex to trained pigs and section men. In dress rehearsal the book, product of the combined wit of Charles H. Stern '41 and Grant Wiprud '41, was catchy and timely. Stern turned out a set of slook and sophisticated lyrics which Wiprud's molodies under the fingers of Wayne Anderson '41 at the piano color and bring out well.

Catchy Quips for Cast

The cast rises above its amateur limitations in its opening number, "Three Little Section Men," which features Lee A. Dimond '41, William D. Schall '41, and Stern as three fugitives from sex. To another catchy tune, Edwin G. Eklund '42, Thomas Eliot '41 and Julian Sobin '41, the "DeWolfe Street Debutantes" beg to be passed at, not by.

A scene set in the delivery room at Widener is the most complicated of the review, also the swiftest and most caustic. It rips and ribs "Harry's Club" for the hopeless book delivery and redtape-edged stack permits. The desk attendant bewails the competition from Boylston, and the mysterious building on the right, while a happy little fellow who appears frequently, and from nowhere, promises "Dancing in the Stacks Tonight" because it's reading period.

Other numbers are "I've Lost My Indifference Over You," "Let Me Tutor You in Love," and "If You Don't Volunteer, I'll Draft You." The last is rendered by lovely Lone Star Dietz '41, who, tired of being "No Man's Land," goes into a strip tease.

It was understood that two of the prettiest chorines from "All In Fun," selected by a competent, if unofficial, committee of two, were to be called in to smooth out some of the simple dance routines. The same committee, it was understood, would then escort the girls to dance to the music of Al Booris and his orchestra, later in the evening
