THE TAR I iEEL OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 24 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1916 NO. 32 BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES AND EFFECTIVE ACTING MAKE PAGEANT GREAT SUCCESS Curtis Henderson as Ariel, Mr. Long as Touch stone, and Prof. Mckie's Pyramus and Thisbe Troupe the Stars The general opinion of the campus and visitors is that the Shakespearian Pageant, given on the campus Tuesday, was a sue cess in every particular. All the costumes were unusually effec tive and their coloring- and ap pearance were very striking-. in the procession as it moved from Memorial Hall to thescene of the performance near the Arboretum. It wou.d be hard to find any where such a finished group of amateur actors as those who took part in the performance Most uf . the laurals for acting go to Mr. Edgar Long", who made a foal Touchstone. He created a real character from the lines and as for his acting, he has been generally judged to be the star performer of the production. He 'says it was his first public ap pearance but the Prof, before his name stands for professional now. Airlti Thick"' Wimby was a real AuMycus. His acting showed that he had given the character uf tin- ballad-seller an adequate interpretation. The Fairy Play by the school children was a well-staged part of the performace. Their work was good and showed careful training. , The k'IIenry IV" scenes have receive 1 very favorable comment. )r. 1 looker, as Prince Hal, gave a splendid interpretation of his part. II is acting showed care ful study and his interpretation was in rank with the best work of the performance. Perhaps Charlie Coggiu was not the stout est Falstaff that has ever appear ed but no fault can be lound with his acting-. In the renunciation scene lie was at his best. His Falstaff is a fitting climax to his versatile and admirable work in the dramatic field during- his 4 years in colleg-e. :v No other group showed quite the finish in training as did Mr. McKie's bunch of hard handed Athenian laborers who preseuted the romantic tragedy of "Pyra mus and Thisbe," in the "Mid summer Night's Dream" scenes. It would be hard to find a better quince than Mr. McKie's inter pretation. His work showed a carefulnesss of finish and an ef fectiveness in restraint that char acterises real acting-. Bob House has done many things well in college, but nothing better than Pyramus. Doug-aid Macmillan as Thisbe was one of the stars of the scene. Lacy Meredith in the heavy role of the wall received his due amount of applause; and Billy Steele with his lanthom, dog and thorn-bush was a digni fied moonshine. Mr. Bernard with his clear enunciation and smooth tone ad mirably handled Hamlet's speech to the players. "The Tempest" was the last scene of the performance but did not fail for that reason to hold the attention of the, whole audi euce. Dr. Dey was a splendid Prospero. His lines were spoken in a clear, carrying tone that never failed to hold the attention of the audience. Miss Gypsy Barton made an excellent Miran da; Jim Capps undertook suc cessfully the role of Caliban. The dancing- of Miss Curtis Hen derson ae Ariel the servant sprite of Prospero was one of the fea tures of the performance. The quartette and chorus mus ic together with the incidental music of the orchestra added; much toward making the whole performance a finished, artistic success. One notable feature and one we rareh find in an am-J ateur- production - was- that- the entire performance was staged on. schedule time. j The successful production of the Pageant has revealed the fact that such a thing- can be adequately done by the students Why not some sort of celebration 1 a play, folk dances, or May. ' day festival every spring? 1 JUNIORS WIN CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP EASILY Caoch Daniel Picks All-Class Ball Team !
