STUCE TO JOIN ARMY
Bruce Stuart plans to enlist and has
already had his physical» He decided
that if he had gone to another school
he would have "done the same thing"
that he did here.
He will be stationed at Fort
Bragg in Fayetteville; following ba
sic training he will study litho
graphic plate-making. When I asked
what this will lead to, he repliedj
"Probably making 'Uncle Sam Wants
You’ posters."
I asked Bruce whether he had
joined for patriotic reasons. He
merely said, "You know me better
than that."
Apparently, the armed forces
don’t.

CAMINO IS SUCCESS
Tennessee Williams' Camino Real,
produced by the Drama Department of
NCSA under the direction of Dr. Os-
valdo Riofrancos, completed the first
part of its successful run on January
14. The performances were attended
by 2595 people from Winston-Salem
and near-by communities.
Indicative of the quality of
the reception of the play by audienc
es is the following excerpt from a
letter to Dr. Riofrancos from Dr.
Harry Davis, Chairman of the Depart
ment of Drama at UNC in Chapel Hill,
Director of the Carolina Playmakers,
and director of Unto These Hills:
Dear Mr. Riofrancos:
This is a belated note to thank you
for your kind personal invitation of
last November to see your production
Camino Real. Mrs. Davis and I
came over in early December, and were
highly impressed with the production.
The piece was excellent for your pur
poses, in providing so many good
roles for the company, and the matu
rity and the discipline with which
they were handled was noticeably su
perior. I congratulate yoia:. most
heartily on the fine training that
is evident in your school.
Sincerely yours,
Harry Davis
Director
