Play Is
Smash Hit
by Peirano Aifeen
A Winston-Salem audience, includ
ing two bus-fulls of Salemites, felt
Well repaid for having braved a
freezing rain to see the Barter ver
sion of “Twelfth Night.”
Once inside familiar Reynolds
Auditorium (which we’ve seen on a
clear star-lit night only once in three
years,) the spectators were trans
ported by colorful scenery and cos
tumes to warm, friendly Illyria.
The acting was both 'smooth and
convincing. Ray Boyles neither de
tracted from nor added anything
into the part of the irresolute senta-
mentalist, Orsino. A pert Viola was
played by Joan Mortimer, and a
' little too coy Olivia by Pern Ben
nett. To make things lively, Gerry
Jedd in the role of Maria flitted
about the stage with an amazing,
if St. Vitus-like, energy.
The height of audience delight
however, was inspired by Don Hart
as the rediculously stern and self-
loving Malvolio, and the comedians
of the night, Frederick Warriner and
Larry Parks as Sir Andrew and Sir
Toby. If slapstick perfected can be
called an art, then they were artists
Out of equal motives ot curiosity
and admiration, we pushed our way
j backstage through swarms of bel
ligerent teenagers after the per
formance to see Sir Andrew. To
our surprise Mr. Warriner was wip
ing off years of age as well as
»iake-up. He is really a tall, good-
looking blond from Pasadena, Cali
fornia. He was born, as he said,
in “19—” (we’d guess his age at
30-35.) During his career he lias
played Richard II with the Pasadena

LET IT RAIN—If, as rumor has it, May Day Chair
man Betsy Boney is gowning this year’s court in gabar
dine sarongs and oil-cloth hoods, the lovelies above
need have no meterologlcal worries come May Day
1948. Elected queen and maid-of-honor to reign over
tlie spring activities were Barbara Folger (seated),
and Jean Griffin. (Photo by Jean Cunningham, Jour
nal and Sentinel)
Folger, Griffin Elected; Court Announced
Pulchritude plus was exhibit A
in the election of May Queen and

elected May Queen climaxing fifteen
minutes of promenading and smiling
before the interested 280 student
electors.
Other candidates for queen were
Jean Griffin, Beverly Hancock, Ruby
Iloye and Mary Helen James.
Biirbara was radiant trough tears
as she bowed to the student body
after Betsy Boney, May Day Chair
man, officially proclaimed her as
Salem’s Queen. Falling on the floor
in that final sweeping bow and
blushing before an onslaught of con
gratulations were typical Folger
gestures. (Brother Freddie Folger,
also a celebrity, blushed violently,
before an onslaught of autograph
funs after the Duke game last week
end.)
From a long line of “politicking”
Folgers, Barbara won this election
all on her own—with a platform of
natural beauty and a campaign of
becoming modesty.
A hurried telephone call to mama
and papa, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Folger,
and one to pin-up man, Ben Cooper
of Statesville, a Kappa Sig at UNC,
followed a round of exploding flash
bulbs and congratulations and left
Barbara Folger a dewy-eyed, inarti
