At the first meeting the name was changed to the Elon Players, and the following officers were elected; Rebecca Smith, president: Dick Kimball, secretary; and th« three yearly performances Marcella Ackenhausen, treasurer. On November 22, the first of Her Husband’s W^ife”, a comedy by A. E. Thomas, was presented in the Whit'ley Auditorium with the following cast: Dorothy Kim ball, Leon Lasser, W. W. Kimball, Mary Lilley, L. E. Smith, Jr., and Elizabeth Nichols The second performance, a group of thtee one-act plays, was presented on March 21. “Thurs day Evening” by Christopher Morley was the first of the group. The last included Beatrice Wil kins, Hilda Heatwole, L. E. Smith, Jr., and Sue Galloway “The Val iant’’ by Hall and Middlemass was the second play. Taking part in this play were Robert Man, Vir ginia Coynes, W. W. Kimball, Jr. Bill Loy, and Clyde Rudd. The group was completed by "Sup pressed Desires’’ by Susan Glas- pell. The characters were por trayed by Emma Woodson, Re becca Smith, and Daniel B. Jones. For the Commencement play, given on May 25, the Players chose “The Late Christopher Y Bean,” Sidney’s Howard’s famous comedy. The cast was composed of Mrs. C. M. Cannon, Rob.ert Man, Mary Lilley, Aurelia Fut- rell, Sara Virgnia Hook, Daniel Jones, Bill Loy, Dan Watts, and Hatcher Story. This performance completed a very successful year. On October 15, 1935, the Elon Players, again under the direction of Miss Childs, met for the first time of the school year. Daniel Jones was elected president; Hat cher Story, vice-pres4ent; Aurelja Futrell, secretary; and Joseph llilgreen, treasurer. For the first of the yearly group the Players have chosen Ibsen’s play, “A Doll’s House.” In the cast will be Sara Virginia Hook, Hilda Heatwole, Robert Hinton, Fred Dow, Bill Loy, Lily Lyons, and Kathleen Carter. Many have expressed their giiatlfication of the fact that there is now on the campus a ijreference for the def initely serious drama which “A Doll's Hou-3e” represents. Besides bringing together a group interesting in acting, the Elon Players have engaged in various phases of stage craft. Miss Floyd Childs, head of the dramatic department, deserves commendation for her capable direction of the affairs of the club. In the past several years the organization has justified its ex istence by the very definite need for self-expression which it has fulfilled.
