T^e play is lively and entertaining
— and well worth seeing.
[Behind the scenes a crew of
hardworking girls have been fran-
tifcally preparing to make the play

ljucy Hudgens.
jDirected by Dr. Mary Homrigh-
ojis, the cast includes fourteen
Salemites. This complete reversal
om the totally male cast in
akespeare’s time has presented
several unexpected problems. The
Salemites playing male roles have
been having trouble exchanging
^minine southern accents for mas-
iline Elizabethan English. They
have also encountered the problem
of walking from the hips instead of
with the usual wiggle. In addition
fO having to learn to walk and talk
ifi'C men, there is the problem of
turning long tresses into masculine
bald-headedness.
Every week night for more than
five weeks the Pierrettes have been
practicing, and from now until Nov-
^iber 18 the cast will be giving up
their week-ends to practice. In spite
of the necessity of giving up their
free time, the cast members are en-
®5uraged by increasing satisfaction
tn their nightly rehearsals.
Salem’s alumnae secretary, Mrs.
Edith Vaughn, has announced that
the Alumnae House living room is
open to students and faculty for
meetings and informal get-togethers
any time upon request. Mrs. Vaughn
is in her office Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to
schedule the use of the living room.
In the past the Alumnae House
has not been used except to house
the names and addresses of alum
nae, but now it is Mrs. Vaughn’s
desire to acquaint the students with
the beautiful antiques in the house
Artist Moore
Comes to Salem
By Susan Jones
Having returned from an exciting
summer trip, Barney Moore, Old
Salem’s very own artist, is
once again a familiar figure
around the square. During the sum
mer months he visited the Atlantic
coast, Washington, D. C., and
Illinois. While in Illinois, he spent
part of his time painting some pic
tures which he had promised friends
there. He found time to do some
serious painting while traveling.
At present Mr. Moore has several
commissions for pictures of Old
Salem. One of these pictures is to
be a water-color of the square.
Mr. Moore feels that this will be
an interesting picture to do.
In ten or fifteen years Mr. Moore
would like to return to Europe
where he once taught art. He is
especially fond of the southern part
of France and finds it almost as
beautiful as the Piedmont area of
North Carolina. He thinks our area
is the “richest tapestry of nature,
and more artists should see it.”
Continuing to paint around Old
Salem because he has found more
material here than he realized, Mr.
Moore says, “With the inspiration
of Salem College, how can I fail?”
Sinz Discusses
Abstract Works
“Transient Modern Sculpture”
was the topic Erik Sinz, sculptor
from Germany, used when he spoke
to one of Dean Clemens Sand-
resky’s classes last Thursday, Nov
ember 5. Mr. Sinz was visiting
Salem and displaying some of his
work in the Day Student Center.
In an informal and enjoyable
manner, Mr. Sinz explained that
completely abstract work has seen
its end; a new world that stresses
the importance of technical design
is emerging. “The trend is to cry
stallize figure out of abstract,” and
this describes Mr. Sinz’s work.
Mr. Sinz spoke about the differ
ence between art in the U. S. and
Germany and France. He was sur
prised with our one-man shows, for
in Germany, if one can get his work
into one of the big galleries (“vanity
galleries”) or one of the big exhi
bits, this means “you are in.” One’s
chance of making a living in fine
arts in France or Germany depends
on whether he can discover some
unexplored sideline. Those in the
arts receive no acknowledgment
from the public, and this constitutes
the main problem for artists in Ger
many and France. The public is
completely uneducated in this field.
Mr. Sinz works as reasonably and
sensibly as possible, and says, “I
can’t claim my work’s art, but people
buy it for its artistic value!” To
him, art must be unique; as for re
production — “vot’s it good for?
(Continued on page 3)
and ways it can be used. Mrs. Lucia
Karnes has had her classes in for
tea on two Friday afternoons, and
several organizations have e.xpres-
sed an interest in using it for meet
ings. The living room, furnished
with antiques, is attractive and
lends itself to informal discussions.
Not only is the Alumnae House
open for meetings, but also for
housing guests. The two second
floor bedrooms are guest rooms
which can accommodate four people.
Parents and other visitors are wel
come. The fees are $7 for two in a
room, $5 for one in a room. Each
room has a private bath, and the
living room facilities are available.
The third floor of the Alumnae
House is a restored area which
depicts dormitory rooms of the
1800’s. These alcoves and Moravian
antique furniture in the bedrooms
contribute to the historic beauty of
Salem and should be seen by all
students.
A final feature of the Alumnae
House is the office. Because current
addresses are available for every
alumnae, one can quickly find the
whereabouts of a college friend. In
fact, Mrs. Vaughn says there are
many requests each year from
j)eople making invitation lists or
taking trips to visit old friends.
