looked away from Dee and began
opening and closing a box of mat
ches on the couch. Turning to
each other, they said “well-uh”.
They laughed abrupt, high-pitched
laughs.
“I was just going to say I’m glad
you’re happily married.”
“I sure am. Yep, I sure am.
You don’t know what you’re miss
ing.”
A little embarrassed, I began
reading again in ‘Tender Is The
Night”: “She sat in the car, her
lonely face set, controlled, her eyes
brave and watchful looking straight
ahead toward nothing.”
lo Ann had met Dee the first
night she was at Hallsboro College,
jo was sitting in the smoke house
at the piano playing “Stardust”
tliinking wistfully of her parents.
Some of the girls were playing
“Do You Know” in the corner,
but Jo Ann was from Philadel
phia and she didn’t know anyone
from the south. Jo Ann looked at
the big girl in the center of the
“Do you knowers”. She had on
a linen suit—that new shade of
violet Jo Ann loved. “I wonder
how she knows so many people?”
Jo Ann thought. “She must have
(raveled all her life.” Jo Ann
looked up and saw Dee standing
in the doorway. She stood with
her hands on her hips and a cigar
ette hanging out of her mouth.
Dee surveyed the room critically,
threw her head back and walked
over to the girl in the violet suit.
“Hello”
“Hello”
“My name is Dee Lawrence and
I’m from Wilmington, South Caro
lina.” The girl in the velvet suit
smiled. “Hey, Dee. My name is
Sue Hayes and I’m from Green
ville, North Carolina. Do you
know all these people? This
is Martha, Lois, Laurie, Connie,
and—oh, yes—Jo Ann sitting on
the piano stool. Jo Ann is from
Philadelphia.”
“Oho”, Dee shouted—“a damn-

Birckel, Castro,
The Plays Pass
By Lola Dawson
Old Chapel featured a mixture, of
satire and serious drama last night
in the three student-directed plays.
“The Dollar” by David Pinskey
and directed by Erika Huber
showed the love of human beings
for the almighty dollar. The set-
ing was symbolic, simple, but care
fully chosen. The villian was por-
tra5'ed by Eleanor Johnson and the
clown by Nancy Ann Ramsey. In
termixed with these two opposites
were loan Wampler, Endrea Brun
ner, Ruby Nelle Hauser, Bennie

Jo Farquharson and Marilyn Sam
uel. The production showed a sen
sibility to blocking with many tri
angular and horizontal movements.
“The Stronger” bj' August Strin
dberg and directed b\' Violeta Cas
tro, falls in the category of serious
drama, according to the director.
Mrs. X and Miss Y were the only
characters in the play, played by
Elissa Hutson and Florence Cole.
Florence gave an excellent panto
mimic performance with split-se
cond reactions against a set of
black with curved lines of laven-
dar, green, blue and red.
Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Aria
del Capo” was directed by Cath
erine Birckel. This was satire on
the passive attitude of humanity
towards war. The play opened as
a farce with Dee McCarter as Col
umbine and Lola Dawson as Pier
rot. The scene between the two
was full of business contradictory
to the lines. This made it quite
incongruous and full of laughs.
The shepherd scene was cpiite un
believable. Miss Nicholson and
Catherine Birckel presented a good
relationship on the stage, their
movements almost blending into
each other.
The imaginative sets were all de
signed and painted by Bryan Bal
four to emphasize the themes of
the plays.
Erika, Catherine and Violeta
seem to have shown their sincere
love of theater through the -work,
time, and thought they have put
on these plays. This was obvious
in the productions last night.
