Page Eight F. S. T, C. VOICE Three One Act Plays On the eve of Home-coming the l)rama Guild of Fayetteville State Jeacliers College entertained the College and the early guest witli three plays—“The ‘ Devil and Daniel Webster’ hy Stephen Vin cent Heiidet, “The Proposal” hy Anton Chekor and “The No Count Boy” by Paul Green. The series of plays presented three aspects of national life. “The Devil and Daniel Web.ster” portrayed early New Kngland and superstitious and folk beliefs. Clyde Bellamy took the role of the Devil and did a worthwhile piece of acting. The same can be said for the parts hy .Maurice Hayes, T. Morris Cameron and Delores McCown. Love and land ownership were the motivating force of the Rus sian comedy, “The Propo.sal.” Cornelius Williams and Cyrel Galbreath were the rival land owners and Pearlie Monroe was the heart-beat of an eccentric young man who never got around to proposing because of his hypo chondia. Galbreath played the part well. (Cornelius Williams was a lusty and loud Chubukor. He kept the audience in stitches for a considerable part of the play. In the “No Clount Boy,” Amer ican Negro life of the pre.sent day was depicted. The setting was rural and the dialogue was done intypical rural Negro dialed lilden McKoy made a splendid Enos and Elthel .Sutton was at home in her role as Pheelie. Paul spearman was the No Count Boy par excellence. He won his, way with Pheelie by his stories of adventure in far away xjlaces that fell when an old Negro woman, pla_\'ed by Hazel Thomas ran him from his new hideout at Pheelie’s home. At the end of the second play a corsage was presented to Aliss L. J. Taylor, Matron of Hodd Hall as a reward for the occu])ants of her dormitory turning in the larg est sum of money from the tick et campaign. A bouquet of flow ers was presented to Miss Cor delia Drew, president of the dorm itory association of Hood Hall. The alumni responded well and in return the first twenty-five were given corsages of white and pink carnations. Annie Little controlled the lights while Addie Blanks super vised the construction commit tee in changing the scenes very rapidly. 1 he Guild is now practicing and making plans for the presen tation of its fall production, “The Fool,” which is to be presented in' the college auditorium on the night of December 6, 1940.
