College Play Opens Tonight Franklin County audiences will sample the work of one of the world's outstanding play wrights as the Loulsburg Play ers offer Jean Anoullh's AN TIGONE on the college audi torium stage this week end, January 30, 31, andFebruary 1. Another of Anoullh's plays, THE REHEARSAL, has been on Broadway this year; a film version of his play BECKETT has Just been completed. A skilled dramatist, Anoullh often concentrates on the di screpancy between what life Is and what life should be? a theme that usually lends Itself to comic treatment. He starts from the same theme In ANTIGONE, but then goes on to make his claim that no earthly power Is free to do as it wishes with men. He restricts his comedy to the characters of the Guards. As a leading light of a phi losophy of life called"exlstent lallsm," Anoullh Relieves that when people reach rock bottom without false hopes they then be come free to be themselves. Anoullh's ANTIGONE attract ed the talents of Cedrlc Hard wlcke and (Catherine Cornell for Its Broadway production. Miss Cornell had seen the play In Paris and arranged to bring It to American audiences. John Mason Brown, "Saturday Review" drama critic, has said of the play: "It is the kind of production Broadway all too rarely undertakes. Its dimen sions are noble, Its intentions uncompromising. From most of the midway exhibits of our showshops, It stands out like an edifice of marble In shanty town. Because it ^ is built of marble, however, do not think that it houses no fires within, or that Its great bronze doors are shut. .' . .Its characters. . . are so ageless as the Fates, as universal as man's dreams of freedom, as everlasting as is the abuse of power." When the curtain closes, Brown says, spectators are "delighted to have had the theatre (unction at such a pitch and with such distinction." It Is work such as this that ha* gained Anoullh recognition as one of today's leading drama tists. Curtain time for the Louis burg Players' production Is 8:00 p.m. Jean Jones As Antigone G.
