6 and 7. The themes of the plays ranged from psycholoRi-
cal tragedy to farce and provided varied entertainment, as
well as varied tests of dramatic talent.
The first play, He by Eugene O’Neill, struck the note
of tense tragedy as an inner drama of loneliness and mad
ness unfolded. Joe Hardegree and Betty Jean Parks show
ed genuine subtlety of interpretation and remarkable
dramatic force as they played the roles of the sea captain
and his suffering wife. Ably reinforcing them were Tom-

ing debut on the college-stage as a tobacco-chewing dirt-
farmer. This play was capably directed by Delton Glover,
president of Stage and Script. . . ,
The mo.st unusual feature of the evening s program
was the very old Japanese comedy, chosen by Stoge ana
Script to celebrate International Theater Month. This light,
highly .stylized farce, entitled Abstraction, was playecl
with grace and cliarm by Ralph Messick in the leading
role. His “furious” wife. Mary Alice Howard, and his con
niving friend, Roney Bunn, added humor and pictorial
appeal in their colorful Japane.se garb. The song sung by
Ralph Messick was compo.sed for the occasion by .’wr.
