February 23, 1 95 1 THE SALEMITE Page Five Clinky Views Local Artists’ Exhibit By Clinky Clinkscales An exhibition of modern art by two of Winston-Salem’s artists, Susan Moore and Frank Trotman, is now on display in the art gal lery of the library. Although both have exhibited their works at other galleries and museums, this is their first local showing. Miss Moore has studied at Salem College, at Black Mountain College and in Mexico and France. Mr. Trotman has also studied here at Salem. Miss Moore is exhibiting two oils on masonite, “Feathered Bird’’ and “Mexican Souvenir’’. She also has one oil on plaster done in pastel shades and another oil ab stract on canvas. The canvas painting has a light bluish-grey background. Four colors consti tute the clear cut shapes of the painting—b right red and green, light orange and a neutralized blue. The rest of her paintings are done in wash colors on various types of paper. Mr. Trotman is showing three oil paintings. The largest of these is an abstract of a person painted predominately in different shades of green. It is composed of dif ferent textures, shading and con tinuous line movement. Another of the oils is made up of the small ^Continued on page six) Elissa Finds Role Difficult; Thinks Todd Is “A Riot” By Lee Rosenbloom Play-p r a c t i c e is certainly no place to try to interview a leading lady. After fifteen minutes of listening to Elissa Hutson’s cock ney accent on stage, it was not surprising to have her say that Eliza is the most difficult role she has ever played. Elissa has been acting since she was in the ninth grade. She played parts jin‘a weekly program of dra matized fairy stories which were broadcast over W. A. I. R. Two years ago she was in Bill Trot- man’s “Blackbeard” at Reynolds High School, and last year she played the lead in “Cornhusk Doll” which won honorable mention at the Drama Festival in Chapel Hill. Elissa has also given readings for many organizations. She did “Gone With The Wind” for the Pierrettes earlier in the year. She writes her own scripts and acts all the parts in these, performances. Dramatics, however, is only one of Elissa’s interests. She is a history major at Salem, but she hasn’t made up her mind yet as to exactly what she would like to do. “I know I don’t want to be a pro fessional actress anyway,” she added. “I’d like very much to keep on doing amateur stuff though.” Elissa is crazy about Salem', and has always planned to come to school here. She has lived in Win- Elissa Hutson ston all her life and graduated from Reynolds last June. Since a great deal of her time is devoted to the forth-coming production of “Pygmalion” she is most interested in that. “Eliza is a hard part, because there are so many changes in mood,” she ex plained. “But the whole cast is good, and Bryan is very easy to act with. I think Miss Reigner is understanding and good to work with too.” “But the real hi-light of the play,” Salem’s new leading lady concluded, “is Dr. Todd. He’s a riot.” Jean Reports (Continued from page four) Are all colleges shaking in their boots from war jitters ? A recent survey shows that educators are now breathing more easily. They forsee difficulty, of course, parti cularly for private men’s liberal arts colleges. The most difficult years are supposed by authorities to be 1954-55 and ’55-56. During this time even women’s colleges will feel the strain. Co-educational institutions are already trying to' lure high school girls into enroll ment. With a natural decline in the number of students comes a natural increase in tuition. This problem will be somewhat con trolled by a slight decrease, fifteen per cent, in faculty. Other insti tutions will look to loyal and faith ful alumni, rich uncles and well- heeled foundations. Another factor appearing is the return of the ac celerated program of World War II. Many institutions are cram ming four years into three, some into two and a half. It has just been announced at Davidson Col lege that such a plan has been undertaken. Standards will not be cut or lowered; the students .will begin school in June instead of September. Colleges as a whole Men Students (Continued from pa^e four) The newest member of the group is Orvel Dyer, a married vet eran with two children and three cows, all of whom live in Walker- town. He plans to major in math, but right now he’s making up his D’s from Appalachian State. Grady Dunn is another married member of the group. His wife is a former Salemite, Frances Col lette. They commute from Mocks- ville to Winston where she works, and he is studying in preparation for entering a school of Chiropody in Cincinnati. Bryan Balfour is well-known around Salem for his dramatic ability. During the last war he served with the U. S. O. His next appearance will be as Higgins in “Pygmalion”. have swallowed the bitter pill of “There’ll be some changes made” and are adjusting themselves ac cordingly.
