Original Play By Gray Will Premier May 2
"Case Number 00," the first
play written by Dr. Virgil
Gray, profeaaor of theater arts
at liars Hill College, will
premier Friday, May 2, in
Owen Theater . While Dr. Gray
has adapted other works for
Mars Hill productions, notably
Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and
Pirandello's "Six Characters
in Search of an Author," this
will be the first original script
that he has produced.
"There are several ideas
that have always been around
the theater," he comments,
"particularly among actors
there is always the question of
how much of their personal
make-up is really theirs and
how much has come from
characters they have been
closely associated with. In
fact, our protagonist is simply
called, 'the actor.' It is the
basic question of 'Who Am I'
that mankind has always ask
ed itself that provides the
basis of the play."
Dr. Gray's script involves
an actor upon whom the world
has pressed in, and he has
reacted in panic with murder,
killing his wife. "The fact of
murder," notes Gray, "would,
I feel, cause a person to want
to find out why he did it. Which
of course leads us to our basic
question of Who Am I?'"
The play takes place in a Jail
cell as a psychiatrist questions
the actor about how the
murder occurred and how it
has changed him. The action
involves flashbacks to the ac
tor's childhood, high school
and college days, as well as
the plays, particularly

Fire Department Film Shows
/
Danger Of Railroad Accidents
Fewer than SO Marshall
residents attended an impor
tant meeting held in the Mar
shall Elementary school
auditorium on Monday night
of last week when members of
the Marshall Volunteer Fire
Department explained the
dangers of a possible liquid
propane gas railroad car
wreck and subsequent explo
sion which would be
devastating here.
Jack Ramsey, formerly a
resident of Marshall and now
a firefighter in Morganton and
instructor for the Department
of Community Colleges, was
in charge of the program. He
showed an interesting film
which included terrifying ex
plosions of propane gas in
several locations in Illinois,
Tennessee and other areas.
Following the 2S-minute film,
Ramsey held a question and
answer session involving
evacuation plans along Main
Street and at the Marshall
school should such an
emergency arise.
Ramsey told the audience,
"If a liquid propane gas car
were to explode here, the
fireball could reach aa far as
1,000 feet in all direction*, in
cluding the elementary
schoo." He cited the freight
that wrecked and derailed
striking the Coal, Peed k
Lumber Co. building several
years ago. "Fortunately there
were no injuries, but since
then the public has tended to
be complacent. A disaster
might never happen here but
there is the possibility that
such a wreck involving ex
plosive cargo couia nappen.
We must educate the public
about precautions that could
be taken against serious
damage from rail accidents."
The Madison County Op
timist Club spearheaded the
showing of the film. Also
assiting in announcing the
meeting were the American
Legion, Lions, V.F.W., chur
ches, merchants association,
WMMH, and The News
Record.
Future showing of the film is
being planned and it is hoped
that more citizens, expecially
those with businesses and
homes located near the
railroad, will become more in
terested.
