Dramatic Council Gives "The Man from Home" Paper Does Not Appear in April \ For reasons financial and moral— our advertising is regulated by moral rather than financial considerations —the Guilfordian will not be in your box two weeks hence or two weeks thence; this is the last issue until May. This is also the last issue to be put out by the present staff, elections of new editors and managers being held before the next paper is print ed. This paper, therefore, sings the swan song of Clara Belle Welch as editor, Ernest White as managing editor, Charlie MacKenzie as sports editor, and concludes the struggles of Horace Stimson as business man ager ant Earle Kuykendall as circu lation manager. GEORGE PARKER NEW HEAD OF MARSHALS Takes Place of George Silver Who Now Has Senior Standing. FOUR CHANGES ARE MADE Tlh new head marshal at Guilford is George Parker, it wns announced by tlie faculty last week. At the samel time four new marshals were chosen to replace the four who automatically re signed by acquiring senior standing at mid-term. Parker replaces George Silver as chief marshal, having been one of the' junior marshals from the start. Newly selected junior marshals are Mamie Hose McGinnis, Gladys Bryan, Horace Stitnson and Charles MacKen zie. They take the vacated places of Julia Blair Hodgin. Bill Edgerton, Pris j cilia White, and George Silver. Mar tha Taylor and George Parker are the two on the original list who remain. The junior marshals are chosen on the basis of scholarship and other con siderations. Selection as a marshal by the faculty is considered one of the highest honors that can be given to a junior. They act as marshals at all formal college functions. The faculty took into consideration the fact that Misses Wllite and Hodgin, and Silver and Edgerton would serve only one semester, in making their orig inal selections, it being their intention to honor outstanding students in the junior class and thus tender the recog nition to ten rather than merely to .six as would have been the case if the present six had been chosen at the first of the year. HISTORICAL PICTURE TO BE SHOWN AT CAROLINA A picture of historical interest is to be played on the screen at the Caro lina theatre the first three days of next week, "The Private Life of King Henry vnr." Costumes of the period, modeled after the paintings of Holbein, are reported to be very elaborate and to have cost the producers considerable money and trouble, particularly the furs and hats worn by the men. Charles Laugliton plays the part of the mucli-married king. All Eyes Turned Toward Coming Spring NUMBER 10 SILVER HAS LEAD "Marked Money," Play Written by Prof. Furnas, to be Presented Also. DATE SET FOR APRIL 21 Former Stars Appear in These Produc tions; Also a Few That Are New to the Stage. "The Man From Home," a comedy, is to be presented by the Guilford Col lege Dramatic Council 011 April 21. Try-outs have been going 011 quite ex tensively. Mr. Furnas has a tentative line-up for the parts in the play. The story pictures a western country American, Pike (George Silver), who comes to Europe, where the two chil dren, whose guardian he is, live. Ethel Simpson (Emily Virginia Levering) is one of the children who is engaged to a titled nobleman, Olmeric St. Aubyn (Franklin Fowler), who in turn is to receive from her the vast sum of $150,- 000. Ben Bezanson as Earl Hawcastle is his father. Lady Creech, a very highbrow English lady (Dorothy Stur divant), is Ethel's chaperone. Ethel's brother, Horace, is to be taken by Poole. Other interesting things add to the plot, such as (he Grand Duke Vasicicitch of Russia (Wes Vaughn), who is incognito. The escaped Russian professor of Ivanoff (Earl Kuykendall), the Countess de Chnmpigny, friend of the Earl's and in on the money scheme. Then there is the very much Italian servant Mariano (John Macumber), Michele (John Bradshaw), and the Caraviniere (William Noave). The plot thickens and many amusing things hap pen. Of great interest is a one-aet play, "Marked Money," written by Professor Furnas. "It is a light melodramatic play with some love interest." It will be staged some time near the end of April. Tentative line-up for this is: Trent, Robert Van Auken. Nat, Betsy Bulla, Colum Schenek. Sippy, Bol) Poole. The Dean, A. D. Howell. Seroggs, T. L. New. Murphy, Lovings. MRS.
