A few weeks ago Miss Mozelle Causey, dramatics teacher, Polly Young and Prances Blake, who ai’e on the costume committee, went to Chapel Hill to select and ob tain the various costumes, which they received from the Costume Department , of the University. Costumes in the 1800’s style, in which the comedy is cast, are be ing altered, taken in and hemmed to fit each individual character’s size and figure. Some of the girls are even making their own ad ditional accessories such as hats, gloves and parasols. At the back of the room is an ironing board and an iron, plus needles, thread, pins, and other paraphernalia to make, mend, and refit the apparel. Serving on the costume committee are Frances Blake, chairman, Pol ly Young, Barbara Harris, Ann Darnell, and Lea and Bea Hardee, Tickets went on sale to the stu dent body starting last week by members of the Playmasters. Joe Matherly, business manager, heads the sale of tickets with assistants Joanne Horne and Ronnie Miu:- relle.

Members of the make-up com mittee are Judie Bittinger and Marie White, while Doris McCraw is the prompter. This last position is used only at rehearsals, for on the night of the play there will be no prompter.

The canvas for the flats first has to be stretched and tacked to the wooden frames and then glued. The color for the flats must be selected so as not to clash with the furniture, costxunes, or features of the persons in the play.
