He concluded with a tribute to the educa tion committee and how the whole education system of North Carolina had been boosted during the past ses sion, especially by the much needed increase in teachers’ salaries to bring them nearer into line with the national level.

Silo Given Deserved Boost From Editorial In Asheville Paper ±iit; lunuwmg euu-ux im xiuin the Asheville Citizen express es our sentiments exactly. The attendance has been notably poor at some of the best plays the Silo had to offer this sum mer. Many of these plays were listed last year by thea ter goers as choices for this summer’s program, yet those same persons are not support ing the actors in their efforts, but let the following tell you what you are missing. A Thrill Awaits—In the Round So we violate a principle: At least a hundred times dur ing the last ten months we’ve turned down requests to plug commercial attractions, and we still think the rule is valid. But, in a society such as ours and with people like us, no rule is totally rigid. Out at Black Mountain, which is a good community but the wrong location for a sophis ticated theater, there’s a so phisticated theater that pre sents Broadway-type plays with professional flair, putting them on in a converted barn that brings the audience into the action. One minute you’ re a spectator; thirty seconds later you’ve got an actress in your lap. This can be disconcerting but this can be lapfulls of fun. The denouement comes when you realize the actress is as surprised as you are surprised and that the show must go on. They call it “circle theater” auu uiic xicimt; ui me pmec la “Silo Circle,” but we first came to know the technique as “theater in the round.” No stage. No backdrops to speak of. Mostly just lighting and Grade A talent. Real, as it were, round. It’s commercial; it’s hope fully commercial. The only trouble is, it’s losing money by graceful leaps and bounds. The fact would not disturb us except that here is a truly exceptional attraction that the Asheville area can hardly af ford to write off on its ledger of opportunities. So we squander a principle: Support the Plat Rock Vag abonds, see “Unto These Hills,” form a party to visit Burnsville’s Parkway Play house, don’t miss the music at Brevard, but drive out to Black Mountain. You may be a little embar rassed if the actress is softig, but you’ll be glad you invested a few fleeting bucks in a pro mising experiment. These people are good; real good. We only wish they had more laps to fall in.
