The By HUBBARD KEAVY For Bob Thomas HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 10—</P)— And now comes “The Drunkard,” after 20 years, in a musical version. And it ought to be around, the local critics agree, for another 20 years. Just to get an interesting statis tic out of the way, “The Drunkard” will give performance No. 7,517 to night, unless something happens to keep the curtain from going up. But the show never has failed to go on a single night since the old P. T. Barnum melodrama, which paints very broadly the evils of drink, started showing at the The ater Mart in July 1933. Musical Version The musical vei'sion has a new title, “The Wayward Way.” It is an innovation that will catch on with the tourist trade. The people who operate the show are sure of one thing: that about half of the audience will consist of out-of- towners who rate “The Drunkard” as a must-see like Catalina, the Farmers’ Market and any movie star, and the other half of resi dents like me who have seen it from 10 to 25 times. We regulars take proprietary in terest in the performance, know when to hiss the villain and cheer the hero and call the actors by their first names. Some of us al ways are looking for opportunities to prompt the players if they should go up in their lines. Other Regulars It seemed to many of us, before we saw the musical version which first meeting was September 10 at the home of the Regent, Mrs. R. E. Patterson.

In addition there are women’s clubs at many of the College Sta tion Churches. had its premiere the other night, that we wouldn’t like it. Ed Seabl- lert, Ed Ainsworth and Dave Bon- gard and many other regulars thought producer Mildred Use was doing something which couldn’t be done. But after the villain, Squire Cribbs, sang “He’s Not His Fa ther’s Son,” and the hero and heroine delivered a love song, “Its New to Some but Old to Me,” we rejoiced in Miss Use’s daring.

It’s a green four-door Dodge, license No. WB 3176, and “it’s really great,” according to Pinky. His old car, a white ’37 Ford coupe, had become famous through the years as he rode around the cam pus yelling “Gig ’um!” to his fel low Aggies. “The only trouble with it is the color,” says Pinky. “People don’t recognize it as my car and don’t speak to me anymore.” Worst Car The worst car he ever had, claims A&M’s official greeter, was a Cadillac. “Its radiator froze on me and cost me 80 dollars,” Pinky explained, “and a blowout cost me another 80 bucks. Finally, I walk ed down to the company and asked to see a Chevrolet.” “Anytime we have a corps trip, I can take five Aggies with me now,” Downs said. “I couldn’t do it with the old car because there wasn’t enough room.” ran, who has been visiting her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Griffith, 607 Hensel, is a member of Tri-Delta sorority.

I’ll even buy the hamburgers at the end of the trip, but they’ll have to buy their own steak dinners.” Pinky predicted the Aggies could not win the conference this year, but “we’ll win more games than we lose,” he said. A&M Graduate Downs was graduated from A&M in 1906 and has been connected with the college ever since. He has served on the A&M board of directors, in the athletic and col lege information departments, and is now the college’s official greet er. Few people on the campus are more widely known than Pinky, and there are none as loyal. New students will come to know him at yell practices and at many other college functions. While in the Memorial Student Center the other day, Pinky looked at the ‘I’m going to A&M’ inscrip tion on his briefcase and said, “What? Going to A&M?
