This year has been a produc tive one in the play writing course, English 31. Already this season sixteen, original plays lave been produced, which were written by twelve authors from states ranging from California io Alabama! Folk-plays, society plays, Negro tragedy, domestic tragedy, domestic comedy, ex pressionistic drama, college comedy and satire have been among the types of plays pro duced. The present bill presents four new playwrights and offers considerable variety in the themes of the productions. Ever' Snitch by Irene Fussier is a comedy of the Carolina fisher-folk. The story deals with the interesting characters liv ing among the dunes of the coast line, with the fisher-folk and old seamen who still cherish -the customs and speech of the first English settlers. Mr. Theodore Herman of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has given in his The Blue Remember ed Hills a sympathetic study of college youth. He reminds us that adolescence is like spring happy enough if all the condi tions be favorable, but only too likely to be full of rain and chill "winds. Especially is this true if the adolescent is a sensitive person. The chillness of . the winds depends to a great extent upon the sensitivity of the in dividual. By the simple expedient of taking a few sharply sensitive, painfully self-conscious young college students and showing tkm in their dormitory room and fraternity houses, under . conditions which tend to induce a certain mood, the author has attempted to allow them to Tverk out their own salvation according to their own psycholo gical patterns. A Very Pale Pink Angel is a "whimsical satire (which might Re called A Tragedy of Heaven) ith ultimate promise of a iappy ending. The author is Ellen Stewart' of Camden South Carolina, and this is her first Play. She holds that if it be true that the spirit world is or our own making, we may just well conceive an attractive The thing is to believe in implicitly. "After all," she says, "who ants a sanctified heaven the monotony of flapping wings and holy expressions even on eek days?" The author of Always A Bet Man comes from Hagers ton, Maryland. This little comedy, Tom Loy's first play, w&s so well received when it was. Presented as a studio production last month that it is being in ched in this list of plays.

And here- after, the course, will be known as English 22. This class has been meeting for some time, but it was thought that no credit could be allowed for the course.

Clumsy and un natural sets have done as much to ruin plays through their sheer ugliness as they have the re tarding action. Likewise the costumes of the production are devised for harmony as well as for splendor in soft, well-direct e(j lights. The Greet players, led by Sir Philip Ben Greet, for many years one 0f the ; most famous pro ducers and actors of Shakes- pearean plays, are on tour in America and ; will - appear in Chapel Hill under the auspices of the Carolina Playmakers on April 14.

Dance Committees A special meeting of the I dance committees of the Junior Prom and Senior Ball is called for this afternoon at five o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. building to discuss important matters re garding plans for the Junior- Senior Ball. take place in the new Memorial hall. Ben Greet, as he has been known on the stage, was knight ed by the British government on the King's birthday in 1929 as a recognition of his contribution to Shakespearean interpreta tion. Being of advanced age and achievement, he could have re tired and have enjoyed the re wards of his long career; but the trouper's blood is still in his veins, ana ne is asram under taking the strenuous activity of traveling from one American city to another, ' presenting the staff gathering before the pro classic plays in which he has ram ls completed. Charlie Rose appeared so often. The Philadelphia Evening ttuiietin said oi tne company upon their American appearance ip Ben Greet and his band of English players paid another i of their welcome visits to Phila delphia yesterday, returning af ter a year's absence. A large audience warmly appreciated the actor-manager whose fifty years' service to the stage and efforts to restore Elizabethan simplicity to Shakespearean drama earned him a knighthood bestowed in 1929. "The Ben Greet Players de- velop their roles with remark- able smoothness and deliver their lines with a nicety of die- tion that is unfamiliar to Ameri- can theatregoers. The staging a. m. in room 104, Alumni build follows that of the sixteenth in- With the. graduation of century, and eliminates the ex- tensive changing of elaborate settings characterizing modern productions." .
