the little German band from talent
in the Schiller Verein. A one act

(From The Pioneer)
The twelfth annual festival and
state tournament of the Carolina
Dramatic Association was held at
the Playmakers’ Theatre, University
of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill
on March 27, 28, 29 and 30. The
purpose of the association is to en
courage dramatic art in the schools
and communities of North Caro
lina, to promote the production of
plays, pagents, and festivals, and to
stimulate interest in the making of
a native drama.
From this tournament, the Blue
Masque returned laden with honors.
The story of the winning of those
honors is a story of the sacrifice of
time, effect, and money that began
many weeks ago. After the plays
were written and the characters
were selected, there were long
nights of rehersing for the actors
and long days of almost hopeless
endeavor for the crew. Eventually
the plays were ready and were pre
sented in conjunction with The
Man of Destiny as the Blue Mas
que’s third major production. Then,
there was more polishing and more
preparation, and, on Thursday
28 th, a truck load of scenery, fur
niture, and props, and four car
loads of people left for Chapel Hill.
The Thanksgiving Day Classic
by Mrs. Olive Jenkins was awarded
the greatest honor, the “Grand
prize” of the tournament, the
Playmaker’s award. Professor Cleav
er so convincingly acted the florid,
pompous, secretary-patting Profes
sor Hollins that he received espe
cial comment. Professor Slagen,
as the serious, intellectual Latin
(professor, won approval for his
genuine manliness. Mr. Williams
played the part of a gridiron hero
who possessed a brain and saw foot
ball in its true perspective. Miss
Foil, as the patted secretaryt proved
her ability to handle a pompous old
fool or a "blood thirsty” young
athlete. Mr. Furr convincingly
howled like an enraged millionaire
play-boy who wanted things done
his way. These actors, of such
> idely different types, were brought
together under the direction of
Mrs. John Busby, and moulded into
a smooth working troupe. The
Playmakers’ Award is the highest
honor bestowed upon the authors
of origional plays. It is given to
the author of the play considered
by the judges to be the "best,” from
a technical point of view, of all
the plays submitted in the tourna
ment. Mrs. Jenkins can thus be
correctly considered an author of
recognized merit.

place for plays submitted by senior
colleges w s won by Effie, written,
by Miss Owen. Miss Le Van so ad
mirably achieved the difficult role
of the generous, optimistic, maid
enly aunt that the audience seemed
really sorry that she died. Mr.
Cheek, as Bill, deserved all of Ef
fie’s love and sacrifice. Miss Sykes
was unusually convincing as a self
centered, self-pitying, attention
seeking woman. Mr. Noss won
recognition as a tired, weary, un
successful husband. Mr. Stool
man as the family physician effec
tively emphasized Effie’s fatal con
dition. The success of this play
deserves especial recognization for
it was a complete student produc
tion written by a student, enacted
by students, and directed by stu
dents, Miss Owen and Mr. Cheek.
The award of first place is more
than a recognition of the efforts of
the students—it is really a crown
of glory for Mrs. Busby who taught
them, and the Blue Masque which
gave them an opportunity to ex
press their talents.
ine tmra honor was nrst place
for miniature stage models won by
a unique set designed by John
Shope. Mr. Shope, chief technician
of the Blue Masque, designed an
architectual tage setting for
Othello. By an ingenious arrange
ment of lights, Mr. Shope arranged
to present the four scenes necessary
for the complete production of the
play. The scale of the model was
an eighth of an inch to the foot.
The model, the first of its kind ever
exhibited at Chapel Hill, will be
displayed at the Dogwood Festival
and then returned to Catawba. In
this contest, Mr. Cheek’s model of
Romeo arid Juliet won third place.
Catawba had three other entries in
the minature contest, Goeche’s
Faust by Miss Fowler, Submurged
by Miss Wright and Effie by Miss
Owen.
All great achievements require
the presence of many unsung heroes
and this "gathering of trophies”
was no exception. Miss Wright
who so faithfully and efficiently
collected the all important “props”
and acted as prompt, deserves the
highest praise. Miss Pearce as make
up artist successfully gave to the
actors the expressions their chara
cters demanded. Mr. Shope as busi
ness manager placed first things
first and avoided much of the cus
tomary confusion and, in a second
capacity, served as stage hand- Mr.
Strauch also served in a double
capacity, efficiently as a stage
manager and willingly as a stage
hand. Mr. Berger assisted in any
and every capacity to help insure
the success of the trip. The effi
ciency and rapidity with which the
sets were handled received favorable
criticism from the Playmakers’ ef
ficient crew.
All of these honors lead to a
greater honor that is more than a
tournament award. Not content to
let Mrs. Busby’s work speak for it
self, the members of the North Car
olina State Dramatic Association
elected her as their Vice President.
The members of the Blue Masque
have unceasingly given evidence of
the worth of their director. Their
praise, for a director who goes be
yond directing to awaken the
springs of ambition in all who enter
her sphere of influence, never dim
inishes. That the Carolina Drama
tic Association should realize her
value seems a promise of greater
things to come.

Drastic Reductions in
Mazda Lamp Prices!
We desire to call the attention of our customers to dras
tic reductions that have been made in the prices of Mazda
lamps. '
The 15-25-40-60 watt lamps which retailed at 20 cents
each are priced at 15 cents each.
Even more important is the reduction in the prices on the
larger "Sight Saving" sizes, including the three-light lamp.
These reductions have been as follows:
100-watt lamp was 25 cents—now 20
cents.
150-watt was 50 cents—now 35 cents.
200-watt was 70c—now 55c.
300-watt was $1.15 cents—now 90
cents.
3-light lamp (100-200 and 300 watt)
was $1.40—now $1.00.
500-watt was $1.75—now $1.55.
These new prices are on the high standard
G. E. Mazda lamps. They are the best lamps
that can be purchased on the market today—
they must not be confused with the cheap,
low priced lamps which have flooded the
market during the past two of three years.
90mPany ^as consistently improv
ed the quality of its lamps and keeps in the
forefront of lamp manufacturers. For instance
the user of a 6o watt or a 100-watt gets twice
as much light for his dollar as he did four
years ago. \
With. lower priced lamps and recently reduced rates
for electricity, better lighting becomes more than ever be
fore the natural and available heritage of your home, of
ficee or shop. To punish your eyes, and those of your
family or employes with dim light becomes the worst of
all false economy.
Check up on your lighting and begin to employ better light for
better sight immediately. Use the “Sight-Saving" sizes and know
what real eye comfort is.
