Show DRAMATICS To this year's Freshman Play, the only campus theatrical activity in which greenling thespians are allowed to participate, goes the signal honor of being Ihe crowning achievement of a truly outstanding class. The hilarious and fast-moving comedy was presented February 1st in Kingsbury Hall. The action for this remarkable drama centers around some comical intricacies of the eternal triangle. However, strangely enough, the recipient of the two leading ladies' affections is not a glorified human but a cunning little Pekingese called Cyclone. The many humorous situations produced by this singular combination, coupled with adroit interpretation of clever lines, provided an evening of matchless enjoyment. June Callister gave a fine interpretation in the heavy emotional role of Jessie Hurley, a nervous, high-strung newlywed, who is infatuated with the dog Cyclone. Ernest Stanger made the most of his boisterous part as the harassed, but captivated husband of Jessie. Paul McDonough gave an able characterization of the modern young business executive. The role as the sophisticated fiancee of Meadows, the aforementioned business man, was aptly filled by Catherine Christensen. However, to the supporting cast, composed of Wayne Tolman, Margy Anderson, Albert Spaulding, Ralph Mich-aelis, James Christensen, Rehon Koehler, Erwin Henderson, Gene Eardley, George Hickman, and Alberta Ross must go a great deal of credit. The smoothness and polish which they displayed in their respective parts predicts future success in dramatic productions. To Joseph Williams goes much applause for the excellent sets, and for the fine manner in which the production backstage was handled. As manager, Roy Simmons handled the production capably in every detail. Professor Joseph F. Smith must be highly praised for his effective and skillful directing, the effect of which could be seen throughout the entire production. Two Hundred Seventeen |
