NCC Thespians will celebrate
George Bernard Shaw’s cen-
tenial on March 14th with a
production of “Pygmalion.”
Carlyle Mason, a graduate

Professor Higgins. Eliza Doo

Pickering, Bernard Tate as Mr.

Geraldine Ormond as Mrs. and
Miss Ejmsford-Hill, Theodore

Pygmalion Higgins, a profes
sor of phonetics, proves that
speech is an index to upbringing
by using a new system of pho
netics to correct the speech of a
Cockney girl, Eliza Doolittle..
He works on a theory that con
versation of polite society is no
more edifying than that of the
lower classes.
