Last week the 43rd annual Triangle production, Spanish Blades, played another one-night stand at the Metropolitan. It is not as good as the best Triangle shows, but there is plenty of undergraduate funny business and a fake horse that turns around once to display a sign: I WILL SHARE. Young Marshall Dana learned during the summer how a ham Shakespearean trouper should act, and that is the way he plays Don Quixote, complete with suit of armor and greying spade beard. J. N.

Because of this, many ignorant people hate and fear the K. of C. as a subversive organization, believe implicitly in a famed, tingling "great and fake oath" which, they think, binds the Knights to battle Protestantism.
