Cast For
"Pygmalion”
Is Announced
The Pierrettes under the direc
tion of Miss Elizabeth Riegner will
present Pygmalion by George Ber
nard Shaw on March 14 and 15.
This play about a Professor of
Phonetics who tries to turn a
flower girl from the streets of
London into a duchess in six
■months contains many comic prob-
, lems which are resolved with both
■humor and skill in the brilliant dia
logue.
It has been produced many times
and has challenged famous actres
ses of the stage, such as Lynn
Fontaine and Gertrude Lawrence
in the most recent production of
1946, and, as a movie, Wendy
■Hiller starring with Leslie Howard.
The. Pierrettes introduce two new
actors to their Salem audience:
Dr. William Todd and Douglas
Faley. Bryan Balfour, a popular
and well-known member of the
^roup, assumes the double role of
scene designer and male lead.
This period play has necessitated
a large costume crew both for de
signing and assembling properties,
and the three stage sets contribute
to the vivid effect.

Deans Request
Student’s Co-op
The office of the Dean of Stu
dents requests that each girl be
fore going to the infirmary, unless

office and sign in the infirmary
book on the dean’s desk.
Sometimes it is 24 hours before
the deans know that a girl has
gone to the infirmary. If girls
going to the infirmary would sign
in the infirmary book it would
facilitate contacting girls in the
infirmary who have phone calls,
visitors and packages.
The Deans also request that stu
dents not park their cars on Church
Street any morning of next week.

Winston-Salem Prv.: aching Mis
