MAY 1957 THE COLLEGIATE far* ThrM Stage And Scrip Begins “The Lark” Fun Featured Libby’s Corner Intramurals To Use New Method In Production Of Spring Play • The spring production of the Stage and Script Club of Atlantic Christian College will take a form rather different from their usual program. Jean Anouilh’s play, THE lark, will be given in the man ner in which John Brown'i Body was presented by a noted cast a few years ago. There will be some action and the portrayal of each character will be vivid and dis tinct. There will also be music, furnished by -the Chapel Choir of the college, under the direction of Lee Howard, and a suggestion of costume and setting. The parts of the play representing the trial of Joan of Arc in the Rouen court room, will be read by the actors. Hie method should give authenti city and a documentary style to the production. The adaptation by Lillian Heil man has been chosen as being closer to the American idiom than that of Christopher Fry which was used in England. 1116 hit produc tion in New York, featuring Julie Harris and Boris Karloff, used Miss Heilman’s version most satis factorily, as did the Television per formance. The play has only very recently been released for ama teur performance. The story of Joan of Arc has been told over and over, by writers of many nations, but particularly the French. M. Anoulilh has given us a moving Interpretation of this peasant girl who heard "Voic es” and was commanded by the saints to free France from the Eng lish. Bernard Shaw’s SAINT JOAN currently in the movies, gives us a somewhat different picture. As Walter Kerr said of the play: ‘‘It has remained for a woman dra matist to give us the first really toughminded Joan of Arc . . . I have a strong suspicion that a great deal of the biting briskness, the cleaver-sharp determination, the haughty and hard-headed can dor of this Joan coities from the pen of the lady who carved out and carved up “The Little Foxes” . . . Joan has been given a stimu lating new face.” Richard Watts said of the play ‘'CHE LARK stands on its own right as a drama of power, beau ty. t*‘nderness, humor, insight and compassion. Miss Heilman’s inci sively vigorous mind and emotions have complemented the vital qual ities of the French playwright and given us what is in effect a collab oration with a freshness and dist inction all its own." The play will be given in How ard Chapel on Thursday. May 16, at 8:15 p.m. ' Publication Editors, Business Managers Elected For 1957-58 At a recently held election this month the Atlantic Christian Col lege student body completed the final round of its student publica tions elections. Patsy Ferrell of Wilson was nam ed co^itor of the college news paper, the Collegiate, defeating Dorothy Taylor of Wilson. Patsy, a rising sophomore here at ACC, formerly served on the staff of her high school newspaper. TTie other editor, Joanne Riven- bark of Lexington, was elccted in the first balloting. Martha Saund ers. Wilmington, the fourth candi date for co-editor, was defeated in the first balloting. David Batts, Wilson, will hold the position of business manager of the Collegiate. David has been of vital assistance to this year’s business manager, Norman Wat son. Peggy Mitchell. Jackson Heights, N. Y., will serve as editor of the college yearbook, the Pine Knot. Peggy was unopposed for this of fice. She has assisted Ed Ward on the Pine Knot staff this year. Carolyn Miles. Dunn, was elect- ed assistant editor of the year book. She, too, has served On this year’s yearbook staff. Ray Taylor, Wilson, will serve as business man- Play Set For May 16, Stars Ellen Dennis; Cast Is Announced In the Stage and Script produc tion of Thr l^rk, to be given in Howard Chapel on May 16. at 8: IS p.m., Ellen Dennis of Greensboro will play the part of Joan, the Maid of Ork^ans. from the frist days of her call by Saint Michael in the field at Domremy, to her condemnation as a heretic and the burning at the stake, but the play has a timely quality, and the trag edy is tempered with the know ledge that we have of the after- math. T^ere is a mystery about Joan which has never been solved, and the greatest minds have re^ mained humble before her. Win ston Churchill in his first volume of the HISTORY OF THE ENG LISH SPEAKING PEOPLE has an exciting and romantic chapter on Joan of Arc. Supporting Miss Dennis is Tom my Willis playing the part of Bi»- hop Cauchon, the kindly questioner at the trial, trying to save Joan, but insistent that ttie position at the Church be upheld. Joe Har- degree plays Warwick, the Eng lish Earl, who has to see that the sentence is carried out, but who stands apart from the proceedings and comments to the audience on the significance of the action. It is he who says in the play: "TTie girl was a lark in the skies of France, high over the heads of her soldiers, singing a joyous, crazy song of courage. There she was. outlined against the sun. a target for everybody to shoot at. flying straight and happy into battle. To Frenchmen, she was the soul of France.” Delton Glover, president of Stage and Script, will play two roles in this play: first, as the stern fa ther of Joan, and second as La Hire, the jolly and earthy com mander of Joan’s forces. Joe Har ris is another realistic soldier with whom Joan deals cleverly. 5»an- ford Peele will give the humorous and true-to-history ihterpretations of the Dauphin. Charles, crowned King of France, through Joan’s ef-! forts. Doris Jenkins has dignity as' his mother-in-law, Yolsndc, and Anne Ball plays the little queen. Leamon Suggs, seen before on our stage, plays the stem Inquisitor, and Ralph Messlck the almost equally stern Promoter. There are life-like portrayals of many histor-i ic personages, as of the ArcW>ls-' hop by S. D. Bundy, Jr. and La ’Tremouile, by Billy Moore. Becky ^ Skinner and Roney Bunn play' Joan’s mother and brother, and Pete Moskos the terrifying Execu-1 tioner. Ted Hubert will be stage man ager and Martha Saunders will be assistant to Mrs. Holsnorth in the, production. j ager for the Pine Knot.

Just who belong to which pair of extremities has not yet been en tirely ferre^ out, but three view ers identified several of the owners and won prizes, which — while not amounting to $6400 — will at least furnish some means of sup port. Winners were Thurla Boa- well. Carol Austin, and Professor Lee Howard. After the shows the costumes were judged and prizes wore awarded. F^rst prize for the girls’ costumes went to the Three Little Kittens — Sharon Hazelrigg, Bev- ■rly Edwards, and Joanne Sasser.
