testants selected in the "Miss Candlelight" contest to be held to

urements and data concerning each
contestant. The judges decision will
be final.

Lake Summit Actors Battle Odds
To Present Outstanding Playsto Public
Players Conclude
Triumphant Summer
By R. H. Hamilton
Take equal parts of Carolina Play-
makers "know-how," the ambition of
youngsters to succeed, and the abili
ty to work constantly In and around
the theatre and you have the success
story of the Lake Summit Playhouse, in
Hendersonville, North Carolina, which
is entering on its last week of a tri
umphant season of summer stock.
Under the direction of Robert Dale
Martin and Arthur Graham (the for
mer Art Golby) the Lake Summit
Players have presented such outstand
ing hits as "Arsenic and Old Lace"
"'Claudia," and "The Drunkard" to
over five thousand people, this sum
mer. '
The Playhouse was started on a shoe
string, with little more than the tal
ent, pluck and adrenalin of Martin,
Graham, William "Pokey" Alexander,
Mary Brooks Popkin, Katheryn Allen,
and Alice Flory; all former Carolina
students. Battling under teriffic odds,
such as an almost inaccessible location,
an amateur company with no summer
stock experience, material shortages,
and practically no capital; the Play
house has somehow managed to keep
going.
Today it is an established part of
the Hendersonville summer scene, with
town leaders and important citizens
already niaking plans to sponsor the
project next summer.
The physical plant, built up mostly
by the sweat and labor of the former
Carolinians is more than adequate for
Former Tar Heels

summer stock. Located at the top of
Lake Summit Mountain, the Playhouse
bids fair to become a permanent part
of the North Carolina cultural and
drama scene. Already, favorable com
ment has been received from many
sources and the Playhouse has proved
to be a stepping stone to future Broad
way and Hollywood success.
Director Bob Martin will take on
the job as director of the Columbia
(South Carolina) Community Play
house, one of the most important of
the country's "little theatres" and cer
tainly among the leaders of the Sou
thern little theatres; if not the lead
ing one.
