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.
Other College Station clubs who
will announce meeting dates soon
are the College Women’s Social
Club, the American Association of
University Women, the MSC Mar
ried Couples Committee, the Ag
gie Wives Bridge Club, the Archi
tects Wives Society, the Dames
Club, and the American Veterinary
Medicine Association Auxiliary.
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.

car.
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.”

Girls who will be spending their

Troubles
“One of the five I take,” Pinky
went on, “will have to drive, but
it won’t cost any of them a' thing.
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? Heck,
I’ve been here for 50 years!”
