Peter D. Arnott was born in Ips
wich, England, in 1931, and was

and Exeter College, Oxford. He
specialized in the history of Greek
and Roman Theatre, with emphasis
on the problems of presenting
ancient plays to modern audiences.

30 Years At Salem
r. Harry Lee Hanes Takes Over
Refectory As New Chief Chef
By Mary Pickens
If you’ve been wondering lately
who has been manning the pots
and pans in Salem’s kitchen, let
me introduce Harry Lee Hanes, Sr.
our chief chef. Mr. Hanes is not
new to Salem; he came in 1940 to
begin his service at Salem. He
held the position of janitor, gym
and field custodian, and worked in
the summer months to keep our
campus green and growing. In 1958
he became a member of the kitch
en staff.
As Lwatched Mr. Hanes put the
last pimento on the asparagus for
the Trustee dinner, I found out
that he enjoys cooking especially

for Salem girls. His favorite dish
to prepare for us is roast beef.
He proudly told me that his wife
is on the Salem house staff and
that one of his six children has
previously worked in the kitchen
here.
With a smile at the mention of
the kitchen, he assured me that his
marvelous staff deserves much
credit for keeping us Salemites
from starving! I readily agreed and
with the whiff of another good
meal tickling my nose, made my
way back to the dorm to wash up
for dinner!
history and directing plays in the
University Theatre.
In 1948 he originated the Marion
ette Theatre of Peter Arnott, to
exploit the possibilities of this neg
lected medium for the purpose of
serious drama, and particularly for
the recreation of the works from
the Greek. and Roman repertory.
He has since given performances
throughout Great Britain, Canada
and the United States, for schools,
universities, drama festivals, and
other groups.
The purpose of the Marionette
Theatre of Peter Arnott is three
fold. First, it employs the unique
potentialities of a marionette the
atre to reproduce the ancient con
ditions of performance which are
often inaccessible to modern actors.
Second, it performs works which
are rarely seen but commonly read
as “set texts,” and so brings stu
dents in contact with a vital theatre
experience. Third, it takes these
plays to communities and performs
them live at a fraction of the cost
of bringing in a full company.
The repertoire includes Classical
Greek and Roman plays, a selection
of Medieval Mystery plays, and
works of the greatest European
dramatists. Additions are made
regularly, and the French and
Greek plays are in Arnott’s own
translations.
It’s that time again!

Moratorium -
NovemberStyle
By Jane Cross
It is not likely that President
Nixon’s Vietnam Policy Speech will
have much of an effect on this
months two-day Moratorium plan
ned for November 14 and 15. Of
course the main arena for peace
will be in the capital city of Wash
ington, D.C. where two days of
mass rallies, plus a 45,0004- “death
march” will honor the war victims.
North Carolina has pledged to
send 12,000 people to the Mobiliza
tion Movement for the “march.”
Buses will be sent on November 13.
However, the other organization
which is sponsoring the nationwide
observances, the Vietnam Mora
torium Committee, is urging in
terested people to use their voices
and influence in their own commun
ities. Hence, nationwide as well as
locally, an ambivalent situation
exists. “To go to Washington or
stay in Winston ?”—that could be
the question.
Here in Winston activity will not
be as heavy as in Washington, but
that does not mean it will not be

ifjyou stepped inside from October
5-JOctober 26, you were not con
fronted with canvasses full of blobs,
q^nflicting planes and distorted
objects painted in throbbing colors,
but with canvasses depicting recog
nizable subject matter. The Realist
Invitational 1969 was a show of
“traditional realism’ in handling and
subject matter,” according to Ted
Potter, the Director of the Gal
lery. Ten Southeastern and five
nationally prominent artists ex
hibited works.
|Lest the word realism awake
visions of dull attempts at repro
duction of nature, remember that an
A'RTIST interprets what he sees,
even if he chooses to use recog-
i^able objects, and these exhibitors
were ARTISTS. Kenneth Davies,
whose “Four on the Shelf” was one
of the most convincingly real works
in the show, gave in addition to
accurate representation, a feeling of
nostalgia through the depiction of
I9UV earthernware crocks in front
of a window. The sunlight strikes
the vessels, highlighting the warm
colors and barely distinguishing the
antiques seen through the window.
[Several of the artists had imagin
ative approaches to the presentation
of their works. Bob Timberlake’s
Sr.vlic, “The Old Feezor Place,”
had a frame like a window—com
plete with crosspiece over the paint-
I 'Is to emphasize the feeling of
looking out a window. Barclay
%anks exhibited his oil, “Summer,”
■n three consecutive panels full of
haze and Queen Anne’s lace.
But he was outdone by Joseph J.
Dodge, whose “Portrait of Jeanne”
consisted of 29 separate oils hung
on a wall so that the observer him
self pieces together his own idea
of Jeanne. Several of the panels
show her face, in many moods, ex
pressions, and even grimaces. There
are also details of hand, knees, legs,
ear and eyes. Dodge’s work has a
slick look which some may find dis
tracting, but his idea that a portrait
does not reveal a person if it is
simply one aspect is imaginatively
worked out.
Often in realism, the desire to
make a subject convincing leads to
an artificial look. In “Tenant
House,” a watercolor by Darrell
Koons, the house is done very
tightly with precise lines. Against
the wonderfully interpretative ren
dering of the sky and trees in the
background, the house looks too
real. '
In contrast, Andrew Wyeth, the
nationally known painter originally
from Maine, deals quite differently
with the architectural subject in his
watercolor “Franklin Light.” He
achieved a marvelous feeling of
texture — mossy grass, crumbling
stucco, sunbleached wood—by paint
ing in a looser manner of overlap
ping washes of color. Most of the
painting is done with few actual
lines — just crisp intersections of
color planes—bu tthe effect is more
convincing, to this observer, at
least, than is Koons.
Among other notable works were
Gene M. Love’s watercolors which
were very beautifully done, Dodge s
“Easter Still Life” which was richly
symbolic, and “Still Life” in oil by
Andrew Wyeth’s father, N. C.
Wyeth.
