Drama Club
Presents Comedy
To a representative audience
of three hundred, the Brevard
Drama Club fascinatingly pre
sented Oscar Wilde's famous play
‘The Importance of Being Ear
nest” in thecollega auditorium last
Saturday night.
At seven-thirty students, teach
ers, and visitors began to fill the
seats to witness the winter pro
duction of the Drama Club, which
was in preparatiorj for three
weeks under the direction of Miss
Smith.
At eleven minutes psst eight
o’clock the curtains parted on the
opening scene of the dramatic
comedy that began amusingly in
Algernon Moncrieff’s moms in
Half Moon Street, between Alger
non Moncrieff (Russell Andrews)
and his butler Lane (Pierce Cole).
John Worthing (Jack Armstrong)
next entered the stage in the role
of Algernon’s friend. Also ap
pearing in the initial act were
Lady Bracynell (Jean Mangum)
and Gwendoline Fpirfax, her
daughter (Doris Thorne).
In Act Two- -in the garden at
the Manor Hius3, Woolton-Miss
Prism (Ellen Waddell), Cecily
Gardew, John Worthing’s ward
(Doris Mayhew"), the Reverend
Canon Chasuble (Griffin Camp
bell) and Merriman, butler of Mr.
Biology Lab
Gets ivlodel
Santa Claus visited Mr. Dendy
early to bring the biology depart
ment a “great big doll,” but it
will not be extremely fascinating
to the girls taking this. It is a
large model of the human body.
This model stands about three
feet high, and it it made of plas
ter pans. Certain parts of the
body can be removed to study
the underlying parts. All the
various organs of the body are
numbered in order to systematize
the study of the functions of the
body.
Mr. Dendy calls this a very sub
stantial addition to the depart
ment. It will be used in the gen
eral biology courses.
Worthing (Creston Taylor) came
into the action and complicated the
play, which did not escape from
this restraint until the closing
moment.
The leading roles in the play,
taken by Jack Armstrong, Doris
Thorne, Russell Andrews, Doris
Mayhew, and Jean Mangum,
were done in all cases with mark
ed histrionic ability.
Miss Thorne proved a command
ing ability on the stage by the
calmness and naturalness of her
acting. Mr. Armstrong was
distinctive in the role that he
played with ease. Miss Mayhew
proved that it takes ability to
play the part of a ward, and she
did it well. Mr. Andrews, who
has appeared on the Brevard
stage in many plays, again made
it known that he can play almost
any role. Miss Mangum made
an appealing debut in her sophis
ticated role.
The minor parts were played
effectively and showed indivi
dual ability, regardless of the fact
that the players were not on the
stage a great deal during the
night.
It was an eager, keen, thrilled,
and joyful audience that wit
nessed a play for which they
would pay the same price to see
again, produced by the same cast.
