THAT Y MINSTREL WILL
PROVE TO BE A BIG HIT
; "That Y' Minstrel" will be given
in Memorial Hall Thursday, May 22,
1924 at 8:30 P. M." The minstrel is
under the auspices of the Y. M. C.
A., and under the direction of Kike
Kyser and AI Mosely. It will include
a cast of about forty-five, eighteen
of which will be black face comedians,
the rest being the circle and special
ty men. The show will include many
of the latest song hits, snappy drills,
fancy- buck and wing ' dancing and
bushels of original jokes.
There will be some exceptionally
good singing in the circle as they
have secured Mr. Fitch, Director of
brilliance to the sheen of moonlight.
Especially gorgeous will be the play
of lights in the sunset scene.
Costumes for the play are being
designed, dyed, and made by the stu
dents of the class, and will be elabor
ate end fantastic. The colors have
been especially selected in order to
bring together a group of shades
which will be beautifully blended and
brought out by the lights. Many of
the costumes are brilliant, and the en
semble will present a scene of strik
ing beauty. Individual make-ups for
the various actors are being care
fully worked out, and these will in
each case be suited to the motif of
the" costume.
The theatre will be outlined by a
glowing circle of Dutch lanterns de
signed by the members of the play
production class. These lanterns will
be of various colors, and will heighten
the atmosphere of dreamy romance
created by the stage lights. On the
stage will be scan a quaint Butsh
cottage and old-fashioned garden, in
one corner of which there will be a
pool of limpid water fed by n spark
ling fountain. A striking feature of
the staging will be the smoke curtain
used between acts, similar to the one
used in the great religious drama
now playing on Broadway, The Mir
acle. This is the first time that such
a curtain of smoke has been employ
ed in a University production, and it
should add much interest to the per
formance. The Forest Theatre is one of the
most beautiful outdoor -theatres in
the country. It is a natural amphi
theater, the beauty of which is en
hanced by the careful planting and
placing of shrubbery. The stage has
been carefully surveyed, leveled, and
turfed, and make-up huts have been
provided behind the scenes as dress
ing rooms for the players. A semi
circular rock wall forms a suitable
proscenium marking off the "Mys
tische Abgrund" of Wagner, and fit
tingly separating the real world from
the land of make-believe. The acous
tics of the theatre are perfect, and
an audience of two thousand may be
accommodated. Mr. Sidney Blackmer,
who has played in the leading outdoor
theatres from New York to California,
has called the Forest Theatre the
most beautiful of its kind in Amer
ica.
Dr. N. W. Walker, acting-dean of
the School of ' Education, has been
travelling through Washington, Cur
rituck, and Camden counties the past
week visiting the High Schools for
the State Department of Education.
The following three students were
in the infirmary at the first of the
week. T. H. Thompson was afflicted
With Tonsilitis, E. P, Crawford and
George Ragsdale were victims of bad
colds,
Plans are being prepared by At
Wood and Nash, Inc. for an eight
room residence for Dr. Arthur M.
Jordan to be erected on the lot next
to the house now occupied by Mr.
John F. Daughtery.
The delightful romanic fantasy,
Prunella, written by Granville Bark
er and Laurence Hausman, will be
presented in the Forest Theatre Fri
day, May 30. This play will be the
first to be produced by the Univer
sity's class in play productioun, and
it will possess the distinction of be
ing the first production ever present
ed at the Forest Theatre at night.
The lighting effects throughout the
performance will be an unusually at
tractive feature. A special commit
tee has been busy trying out various
systems of lighting, and an intricate
combination of flood, spot, and over
head lights will be utilized to pro-,
duce effects varying from mid-day
singing here, Mr. Jim McClammrock,
prominent singer on the campus, and
two professional soloists well known
to the minstrel world Mr. Burrell
Currell, and Mr. Harding. There are
octettes singing behind these men,
composed almost entirely of Glee
Club men. Specialities will include
a professional high brown imperson
ater in a "Mamie Smith" act; saxo
phone sextette; string quartette; vo
cal quartette; original monologue;
four man buck dancing team.
The show will be in three acts.
First, the usual circle scene composed
of singing, dancing and joke crack
ing. Second, an act of specialties,
including two professional acts and
two original acts by students. Third,
a thirty minute after-piece entitled
"The Sociable Sewer Side Society."
In( this act all characters are black.
Two or three musical numbers are
worked in.
Scenery, costumes, chair covers,
tambourines, clappers, and other
minstrel equipment have been bought
.from Hooker Howe Co., of Haver
hill, Mass., one of the largest minstrel
houses in the country. The music
will be furnished by the famous Car
olina Club Orchestra with the addi
tion of several string instruments.
Mr. George Denny, of Playmaker
fame, will act as intercolutor. This
will add very much to the show as he
is very capable of handling such an
important and difficult part.
Included in the black-face come
dians will be seen such familiar faces,
or names (as the faees will not be
recognized) as "Governor" . Kitchen,
"Fizzle" Iiorton, "Willie" King,
