Auntie Marne To Be Shown
Tonight At 10 p. m. In Dunham
Patrick Dennis’ prize - win
ning novel, “Auntie Mame,”
was on best - seller lists for 112
weeks. With such unprecedent
ed popularity, it was no won
der that Broadway audiences
kept the stageshow running for
two years and Hollywood was
quick to tap its rich characters
and period for a big - scale mo
tion picture. The movie will be
shown tonight at 10 p. m. in
Dunharn Auditorium. Morton
DaCosta was asked to recreate
his Broadway role of director
and he promptly suggested the
only screen star he felt could
best suit the exuberant and non
conformist attitude of Mame—
Rosalind Russell.
To be sure, Miss Russell was
(and still is) a great comedien
ne, whose success stemmed
from the fact that she always
turned out to be more realistic
than the men in her films. She
had a sharper sense of right
and wrong, was a better student
of tactics, and a master of man
nish wisecracks. In a film world
yhere women had been either
innocents or exotics, Rosalind
Russell created the Screwball, a
lew and refreshingly down-to-
earth character. And, of course,
“Antie Mame” was the great
est screwball of them all.
There are many reasons for
placing “Auntie Mame” in the
classic groove . . . the film
endures for the brilliance of
Miss Russell’s portrayal, the
accomplishments of a large
supporting cast (including Peg
gy Cass as the funniest preg
nant lady on stage or film),
and an honest reflection of the
Depression twenties and mad
cap thirties. In fact, the atten
tion to the costiunes of the day
almost makes “Auntie Mame”
the fashionably “in” film of the
’70’s.
Above all, when a succcess-
ful book inspires a successful
play which inspires a success
ful film which, with music ad
ded, becomes a current success
on Broadway, and a movie musi
cal yet to come . . . you know
“Auntie Mame” has the stamp
of greatness because of that
timeless quality of making you
feel so good.
The showing is sponsored by
the Social Board, and admission
is 10 cents.

Mr. Miller Returns The Student Handbook
From USF Symposium Committee Is Hard At Work
BuaJVB MM'
Mr. Harvey Miller returned
Sunday from the University of
South Florida Symposium of
Contemporary Choral Music,
where his composition. Five
Mountain Scenes, was perfonrt-
ed by a Largo High School cho
ral group. The symposium, at
tended by composers from the
eastern United States, is an an
nual event.
“Uplands in May,” "Smoke
and Blue,” and “Between Two
Hills” were selected from Five
Mountain Scenes to be perform
ed at the symposium. These
three Carl Sandburg poems
were set to music two years ago
by Mr. Miller because he was
“looking for poems about the
mountains of North Carolina.”
Mr. Miller said he was pleas
ed with the interpretation of
his music and described the di
rector, James Johnston, as be
ing “sensitive to contemporary
music.”
The Student Handbook Com
mittee has been hard at work
tor the past few weeks. The
committee headed by Mike
Thorpe, Beam representative, is
in charge of making revisions
in the current handbook. Along
with the necessary changes that
have to be made each year, the
Handbook Committee has dis
cussed a variety of changes
which it hopes will improve
the publication.
Fortunately, the committee
is blessed with hard working
members. Fred Dean. Freshman
President, has been making
rounds on the campus while
planning and writing about the
buildings and social aspects of
Brevard College. Steve Daven
port, Freshman Representative,
an idealistic worker, has con
tributed much to the progress
of the committee. Steve and
Fred both show great leadership
potential and one of them will
probably head next year’s hand
book committee. The backbone
of any committee is, of course,
the secretary. In Joyce Gibson
the Student Handbook has one
of the best secretaries available.
Joyce is the only veteran on
this year’s, committee, as she
was actively involved in last
year’s committee.
Tentatively scheduled for
this semester are weekly work-
shopsv student - faculty dis
cussions, and consistent meet
ings with the Dean of Studente.
Upon completion by the Stud
ent Committee, the handbook
will travel to the Public Rela
tions Office where Mr. Allred
will co-ordinate a July 1, 1971
publications deadline.
