stage and Script held their first
production of “Pots of Money” in
Howard Chapel at 8:15 last night.
The production will be repeated to
night at the same time.
The director, Mr. Cecil Willis, has
been working in New York with dif
ferent theatrical groups. He has
brought with him many “New York”
ideas and has put them to fine use
ii3 this production.
The .setting is a blend of the
French “stage” and a more modem
“.suggestive” setting. There are five
different scene changes. Each one is
completely different. Act I, scene 1,
is a provincial living room in the
village of Endives-Under-Glass;
scene 2 is in a large and elegant
restaurant in Paris. Act II scene 1,
is a waitmg room in a police sta
tion, scene 2 is in a marriage salon
also in Paris. Act III, scene 1, is on
a Paris street.
The costumes for the play are
under the supervision of Aileen
Clark. Costumes from a profession
al theatrical house have been or-

Turkey stuffed with truffles? The
fat woman at the fair? Or Paris
ivith police stations, marriage brok
ers, hidden zeros on the pricelists,
and ludicrous excitement for a group
of French provincials loose on the
town?
Last night Stage and Script and its
new director, Mr. WiUis, provided
a good antidote to our recent ten
sion in their production of Pots Of
Money. Farce is a very old form of
comedy, its purpose to entertain by
making us laugh at ridiculous and
involved complications of plot. Usual
ly it does not depend upon subtle
ties of characterization; but in the
play last evening several of the
actors created vividly individualized
human portraits. Most memorable,
perhaps, were James Burroughs,
who brought to life a pompous, blun
dering ass who managed to get eve-
i^body into trouble, and Robert
Royall, who presided over the mar
riage salon with suave deftness. If
a hat could be said to steal a show,
Arthur Pritchard’s almost did just
that, as it added to the hilarity of
its owner’s senile shenanigans. Note
worthy were the less demanding but
very well executed portrayals of the
police-officer by a talented newcom
er, George Farr; the cow-tending
young adventurer Felix by Zeb
Jones; the slickly dishonest waiter
dered to supplement the costumes
now in the Stage and Script ward
robe.
Mary Lu Webb, chairman of the
scenery committee, has been helped
by Joyce Watts, Arthur Pritchard,
James Barbour, Darrow Clark,
Cherylyn Arnold, Cecil Davis, Paul
Wilson, June Burwell, Sandra Freed
man, George Farr, Rebecca Brant
ley, Jenny Spelhnan, Bill Bardin,
Tony Brewer and Zeb Jones.
Makeup is being handled by Bobby
Royall, Darrow Clark, and Roberta
Pritchard, of the Fike High School
faculty.
Paul Wilson and Cecil Davis are
acting in the play as well as being
technical assistants for Mr. Willis.
The lighting is worked by Charles
Wheless and the sound by B. H,
Marshall.
For this play, original music has
been composed by Mr. James V.
Cobb, Chairman of the Department
of Music.
by Darrow Clark; the belching,
loudmouthed, smelly suitor Corden
by Fred Barber; the young lovers
by Barbara Llewellyn and James
Barbour, who bids fair to become
Romantic Hero Number One of our
campus drama. Quite small but
sharply delineated bits were well
played by Paul Wilson, Bill Israel,
Cecil Davis, and Sandra Freedman.
Special mention should be made of
oui’ exchange student from Sweden,
Eva Holmberg, who cavorted on the
stage with all the aplomb of a sea
soned trouper. Miss Holmberg’s Eng
lish was impressively clear and easy
to understand; and her facial ex
pressions and bodily movements in
dicated that she is a natural come
dienne.
The play moved with a brisk pace
against well-designed sets and to the
accompaniment, at times, of approp
riately light music. One innovation,
added to the script by Mr. Willis
and involving the French national
anthem played at a crucial mo
ment, came close to being the fun-
iest episode of the evening.
There are always excessively seri
ous people who claim that there is
“No Time for Comedy”. Actually
laughter is one of the unique and
pric6less joys of huirian GxpcriGncG.
Last night we all had fun. The club
and Mr. Willis are off to a good be
ginning.

Mrs. Michael Busby, senior English

hunk record player to pipe music
into the dining hall. It also discussed
the petition submitted last week re
questing ci student vote on an IFC-
CO-op dance and considered ap
pointment of a committee for the

Peace Corps
Visits ACC
If you are a volunteer, possess ini
tiative and imagination, desire an
inexpensive education, are patriotic,
and want to respond to a definite
need you are in demand in the Unit
ed States Peace Corp.
Field Representative Mary Walsh,
who addressed the Atlantic Chris
tian student body during Tuesday
Chapel called for volunteers who feel
they fit in the above category. Miss
Walsh complemented Atlantic Chris
tian for the contribution of three
Corp members. She stated that it
was unusual for a school of this
size and in contrast she cited
North Carolina State which has giv
en six Crop members.
Atlantic Christian alumni in the
Peace Corp are Rex Jerrell, who is
located in Sierra Leone, Africa; Re
becca Skinner, located in Pakistan;
and, Larry F. Thorne, assigned to
Bolivia.
After luncheon at the Cherry Hotel
the Miss Walsh received interested
students in the Barton W, Stone
Room at the C, L. Hardy Library.
During this session three specific
goals of the Peace Corp were cov
ered. First, the desire to help the
people of host countries meet their
needs for trained manpower; sec
ondly, to help promote a better un-
dermstanding of the American peo
ple on the part of peoples served;
and, third to promote a better un
derstanding of other people on the
part of American people.
A documentary film taken from
actual Peace Corp assignments
throughout the world was shown in
Harper Hall on Tuesday evening at
7 o’clock. Miss Hall answered ques-
quested, and received, permission to
use the record player and ampli
fier located in the Bohunk to feed
music into tlie dining hall during
meals. The request, which was quick
ly granted, pointed out that the
equipment is receiving little employ
ment at present.
There was further discussion by
the board concerning the petition
submitted to it last week asking for
a vote by the student body to decide
whether to hold an IFC-Co-op dance
during the year. Miss Sandra Freed
man stated that, since there are no
funds albtted for such a dance,
either the budget must be modified,
or advance tickets sold, in order to
provide money for a band. The mini
mum sum necessary for the affair
has been estinvated to be approxi
mately $1000. This matter will be
decided by the students at a com
ing meeting of the Cooperative .Asso
ciation.
The board considered appointment
of a Publications Committee for the
North State Student Government As
sociation. The Atlantic Christian
SCA representatives who attended
the recent state conference reported
that this school was asked to form
a Publications Committee to com-
