PAGE FOUR THE NEWS ARGUS OCTOBER, 1971 A Liberated Move There are those who have been advocating Women’s Liberation in the sense of freeing the mind, but progress has been very slow. However Miss Lydia Moore may have given progress a boost, and may very well be on the road to fame. Lydia is a twenty year old native of Mount Airy, N. C., and a junior here at Winston-Salem State University. Miss Moore has written a play entitled, THE ETERNAL COMBUS TION, which is being produced by the all black Delano Stuart and Bed-Stuy Company, of Brooklyn, New, York. This was the only company to which the play was submitted. When asked, what caused her to write this play, she replied, “it was a class project for this past spring semester,” under her in structor here at W.S.S.U., Mrs. Oubre. Miss Moore said that the one act play only took about three to four weeks to complete. Al though Miss Moore did not con sider the work a masterpiece, she consented to send the work to the Bed-Stuy Company after receiving advice and encouragement from Mrs. Oubre. Miss Moore considers the work a satire. However, she leaves the final classification up to the individ ual. The play consists of five charact ers, of which four are male and one female. The plot is centered on an angel who has died and re turned to tell his story. Miss Moore said that the play is expected to be in the Summer Street Series. She does not know where her play will go from there, but she is very happy that it was accepted and hopes that it will con tinue to be successful. Lydia also stated that the Bed-Stuy Com pany will be here February 2, 1972, as part of the lyceum series. Miss Moore is an English major with a minor in dramatic arts. She is a member of the English club, drama guild, and the Honors Colloquium program. Her aspi rations are to become a fashion co-ordinator, own a boutique shop, and eventually, to marry.
