grows cold, which never complains,
and which is always anxious and
ready to endure hardships. It is a
sad thing that a wall should grow up
between a mother and daughter a
wall built by tiny, but fatal stones
of misunderstanding. It is true that
a mother may not always under
stand, but she can always love. The
daughter’s point of view is o^
adventure and romance while that
of the mother is the result of

The ideal daughter makes herself
needed at home, makes herself, by
her cheerfulness, a vital part of the
family, and makes herself what her
mother would have her be.

DR. WILLOUGHBY SPEAKS
ON STORY OF “ANTIGONE”
(Continued From Page Two)
thirty-tliree being extant. A group
of school masters in Alexandria pre
served these ancient dramas in manu
script form. Predominant among the
various types of stories used, are two
particular groups, those which tell
of the house of Atreus, and those
which deal with the Theban kings.
Antigane is a selection from the
latter cycle.
Dr. Willoughby told in detail the
story of hapless Oedipus, who un
intentionally murdered his own fath-
ruled his kingdom, married his
L mother and, being endlessly
pursued by the Furies, put out his
own eyes and died a tragic death.
The fate of Oedipus illustrate the
dread eurse placed on the House of
Thebes, prophesying each member
of his family an evil end. Creon, a
counsellor, arranged that the two
sons of Oedipus should reign dur
ing alternate years. Polyneiees
ruled first, and when his year was
up, he desired to keep on ruling. Be
cause his brother, Eteocles, natural
ly demurred, Polyneiees went away
and brought back an army to beseige
his native city. The seige lasted
seven years. A priest told Creon
that unless a descendant of the house
were sacrificed, the invaders would
win; therefore, Creon sacrificed his
own son. Meanwhile the two brothers
fought in single combat, outside the
city, and killed each other. Creon
decreed that because Polyneiees
started the war, his body should
main unburied. The story of An
tigone, begins at this point. Such a
decree was the most horrible
which could ever have been issued,
for it meant that Polyneiees’ soul
should be condemmed to eternal rest
lessness and eternal punishment. An
tigone, his sister, could not endure
the idea that her brother’s soul
should be thus condemmed, and she,
the price of certain death, decided
to go out and bury her brother. The
plot of the play Antigone is centered
around this sacrifice on the part of
the sister. ,
thought that these ancient
plays were very similiar to operas.
The dialogue is not as rapid as
modern dialogue; violent action is
presented on the stage; emo
tional reaction to such violence is the
keynote. Only three actors were used
n the plays. As the theatres
10 large that facial expressions did
lot count for much, masks were used. I
The “onkus,” or the upper part of
the mask, instantly revealed the
importance of the character by its
height as compared to the “onki”
of the lesser characters. The people
in the chorus did not, like the main
characters, wear very elaborate cos
tumes. If the play were a tragedy,
th actors wore high heels to make
themselves appear tall super-men or
demi-gods, if the play were a comedy
low heels were worn. The chorus
danced interpretative dances to illus
trate the off-stage action.
