Miss McBride
Stresses Need

For Principles |

Freedom of Thought
Trains Students
For Society

“To use a phrase we have heard
quite often this summer, I would
like to take a little time to dis-
cuss a few things with you,” said
Miss Katherine McBride on Sep-
tember 30 in Goodhart Hall at the
first assembly of the sixty-eighth
academic year.

After giving her audience some
facts pertinent to the opening of
the college, Miss McBride proceed-
ed to point out how many people
spend much time considering how
to vote, but never go back to the
fundamentai issues behind why
they vote as they do. You need

experience to understand why, she] '

said, to be of service in the direc-
tion of peace and freedom—-a di-
rection which we all would surely
choose.

No ivory tower, whether in the
form of the granite of Taylor or
a pattern of thought can give any
security or ease from conflict; you
are a part of the times. Of what
manner of times are we a part?
As the elder Mr. Cadbury of Eng-
land prayed in one meeting in the
midst of heated argument, “O
Lord, we’re in a fix.’’ Only experi-
ence will teach you what function
is yours in this world which to-
day is in such a fix.

Necessary Quality
The tendency of the American
educational system to supply a
course for every need can be a
misleading fallacy when you come
to the problems of how to live in

dangerous times. Here not knowl- "

edge alone but maturity of experi-
ence is necessary.

There are two priorities we can
set high above us. First is the
experience of independence which
is a basic principle of our college.
No one knows as well as the stu-

dent the extent of independence |}

Pictura Illustrates and Connects
Tales of Artists’ Work and Lives

by Ellen Bell, ’53

The movie Pictura, successfully
combines the arts of film making

and of painting. Its subject mat-
ter is some of the paintings or
parts of paintings of certain art-
ists of the last five centuries
whose work lends itself to this
sort of treatment. The artists’
names are Bosch, Carpaccio, Goya,
Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin, Grant
Wood. Their paintings have been
animated, activated, and connected
by use of the camera to form a
sequence of events; either a story
depicted in one painting such as
Carpaccio’s fairy tale painting >f



Ursula, or a glance at the coun-|°



tries and lives of-the artists.

In any attempt to combine orig-
‘inally unconnected incidents to
‘form a coherent sequence of
‘events, there are bound to be cer-
tain incomprehensible leaps, cer-
tain vague passages; but to coun-
'terbalance this there may be at-
tained a new understanding of the
‘subject matter, and perhaps some-
thing is added to it. So it is with
this film, which is a conglomeration
of paintings, sorted into dramatic
sequences. For one who does not
know the periods of Goya, for ex-
ample, it might be hard to under-
stand the leap from Spanish coun-
tryside to the very animated

Cottage Industries

There will be an exhibit on
campus._during this_time—of—cot-
tage industries, a term used in
Pakistan to include pottery, bas-
kets, and clothing. This exhibit
will be discussed on Saturday.

The idea of a Pakistan weekend
was conceived last spring, when
several groups in the school con-
tributed a total of $1500 to Pak-
istan, and more specifically, to the
University of Dacca. There was
also a book collection for the Uni-
versity. To make the contribu-
tions seem less remote, to make
the purposes and policies of Pak-
istan clearer, the Alliance planned
this weekend.

Dr. Norman Brown, an author-
ity on the Near East, now at the
University of Pennsylvania, will
be here, as will many other schol-
ars and specialists. There will be

From Hot dungles To Broadway

The Juniors Hope to Open Soon

‘This is Times’ Square. Of course
you’ve heard of Times’ Square.
And there’s the Astor, Loew’s
State and the Paramount.” With
an unusual insight into the life
in a theatrical boarding house, the
up and coming production of ’54
is Opening Soon on Saturday, Oc-
tober 18 in. Goodhart Hall.

: Ranging in accent from a Broad-
way apron opener to a strictly
tropical number (which some
heard previewed at the Freshman
Dance) Wambi the Jungle Boy,
the show promises much entertain-
ment, as well as much new music.
Never lacking in variety, Opening
Soon manages to look into the





antics of the Foreign Legion and

to cavort with Shakespeare and
his wierd sisters; it even allows
the audience a side-stage glimpse
of an extravaganza par excellence.
Included within the cast are such
interesting theatrical landmarks
as a burley-queen, a serious class-
ical drama student, a singer left
over from Gay Nineties fame, an
ingenue, and a playwright, to say
nothing of a recurring scenery
man with a potted palm.

The plot centers around the

somewhat haphazard production of
a musical revue and, if we can find
that final element of theatre, a
producer, we'll be OPENING
SOON.

‘““No Hollow Gesture”

. for Pakistan

To-the Editor: ~~~ <...

The campus probably realizes by
now that the- Alliance is present-
ing a three-day program on the
Pakistan nation Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday. Through this col-
umn I would like to emphasize one
thing about this program. It is,
perhaps unlike other Alliance pro-
grams, a thing of importance not
only to our students but also to
the country participating in it.
The Pakistan people will hear of
what we do here. Through our at-
tendance and our interest in the

them that our gesture of friend-
ship is not a hollow one. Our ges-
ture of friendship is real. Please
help us demonstrate it.

panorama which may have dazzled your first impression, you
must wonder how the serenity of normality can again
emerge. Amidst all these preliminaries, one unchanging fact
remains. Bryn Mawr is a place to which all of us have come
in order to benefit by all associations and acquaintances.
From you who can not only instruct us as students but also
guide us as individuals, we look forward to new and stimu-
lating friendship. You will add to our numerous avenues of
thought; we believe that within this broad scope of learning
we are finding a key to clear thinking.

- Who are we? We are the six hundred students respons-
ible for the chaos that arose during your introduction to
Bryn Mawr. We are the screams of reunited roommates and
the shy inquiries of the newcomers. We are your problem
children of the coming year.

Who are you toward whom we look with such expect-
ancy? You are Faculty newly come to Bryn Mawr. To those
who administer you are a chosen addition to an outstanding
group of instructors. To those who instruct, you are re-
spected and welcome colleagues. To us who learn, you are
not just new faces in a department, but are an additional
source of information and understanding.

-. Why’s The Fire?

“In Case of Fire .. .” most of us take such notices for
granted, assuming that adequate care will be taken of. us,
should emergencies arise. It’s a big assumption. And it
means no responsibility on our part. Each year the college
makes expensive changes for our benefit: erecting smoke
barriers, new fire escapes, special exit doors. At the same
time it is our responsibility to take our own preventative
measures. Tossing a glowing cigarette into a waste paper
basket is not only careless, but also dangerous. A building
could go up in flames, the result of a cigarette not complete-
ly, extinguished.

To create an awareness of the potential dangers that
exist through our negligence, and to offer best measures for
eradicating these dangers, this'is National Fire Prevention

Current Events

Mr. Dudden Emphasizes
Indefinite Nature
Of Campaign

Mr. Arthur Dudden stressed the ,
indefinite nature of the presidential
campaign at the Current Events
meeting Monday night in the Com-
mon Room. Despite any. indica-
tion from polls, there is still a
large independent vote which has
not yet taken a stand for either
party. Although both candidates
started their campaigns on a high
moral plane in August, neither has
been able to retain it in the in-
creasing tension due to lack of
confidence on both sides.
Eisenhower’s assets in the cam-
paign, according to Mr. Dudden,
are his great reputation as a mil-
itary hero and the intangible de-
sire among many people for a
change the administration.
Stevenson has to his advantage
twenty years of Democratic suc-
cess, the prosperity enjoyed by
many people during that period,
and the habit of voting democratic,

which many have now formed. He
has the drawback, however, of be-
ing comparatively unknown and
tending to speak above the heads
of his audience, although he re-
ceives an appreciative response
from college professors.

Corruption

' Corruption is one of the main
issues the Democrats must over-
tome. Recently it was overcloud-
ed by the Nixon case, but that
seems to be well cleared. The
problem of balancing the budget
reduces to the question of which
party would be willing to spend
ee money on rearmament, since
hat is the government’s greatest
expenditure. Concerning Commun-
ism, Opinions conflict between a
fear of McCarthyism and a_sus-
bicion of government lenience to-
ward Communism.

‘The Korean war and the entire
problem of Asiatic revolution will
need great attention. Although
the United Nations has provided
formal support, the war is basi-
cally an American undertaking,
with the United States opposing
Korean and Chinese Communists
supported by Soviet Russia.

' Taxes and inflation have received
much attention, but Mr. Dudden
passed quickly over civil rights,
tidelands oil, Nixon’s difficulty,
and states’ rights as issues that
have proven relatively unimport-
ant.



Students for Stevenson began
their campaign with a prelim-
inary discussion and_ election
Monday night. Marcia Storch
was elected chairman of this
group, which will work on
campus and assist neighboring
Volunteers for Stevenson com-
mittees to influence the local
vote. The co-chairmen of the
Philadelphia Students for Ste-
venson and local representa-
tives of Stevenson organizations
addressed the group, explaining
‘the type of work they can do
both locally and in Philadelphia.

After discussing campagn ac-
tivities on campus, the meeting

New Experiences In Administration,

“This will be a year of new ex-
periences”, commented Miss Elea-
nor Bliss; new Dean of the Grad-
uate School. Administration, teach-
ing, and housekeeping, she added
with an engaging smile, would all

be comparatively new fields for}

her.

Does Bryn Mawr
Breed Spinsters?

by Mary Alice Drinkle, °53

“Do Women’s Colleges Turn Out
Spinsters?” asks Lynn White Jr.,
president of Mills College, in an
article in the October issue of
Harper’s Magazine. With a defin-
ite “no” for his answer, Mr. White
gives very encouraging statistics
and reasons. “Spinster”, he says,
is a word of unpleasant conno-
tations anywhere, including
women’s colleges. (This _ state-
ment, incidentally, is proved to be
true in the present. Bryn-Mawr
undergraduate body by a move-
ment in some parts to change the
nasty word to “delayed bride”.)
Because of this statement, Mr.
White continues, many people —
especially west of the Hudson
River—are convinced that coedu-
cation is the only answer. They
consider women’s colleges as clois-
tered places which reduce the
chance of marriage for their stu-
dents considerably.

This, however, is not the case,
Mr. White affirms. He shows that
a survey conducted by the Popu-
lation Reference Bureau among
60,000 women proved that 76 per-
cent of the graduates, of non-
Catholic women’s colleges mar-
ried, against 73 percent of the co-
eds. This 3 percent difference is
more significant than it appears
to be because of the natural dis-
advantage in meeting men every
day which women’s colleges have.



Explanation

Mr. White gives two explana-
tions for this higher matrimonial
rate. The first, he affirms, is of
less import than the second. In
co-educational schools, a minority
of sorority girls have a much gay-
er social life than the vast ma-
jority of non-sorority girls. Since
most women’s colleges do not have

“the difference in atmosphere be-

Mawr, besides her work as Dean
of the Graduate School and as pro-
sessor, she hopes. to devote her
afternoons to continued research
in the field of antibiotics in her
new lab in Dalton.

Enthusiastic and friendly, the
Dean answered all questions gra-
ciously—even explaining the na-
cure of antibiotics to. the News’
most unscientific reporter. With
reference to the Graduate School,

she reported that “as of Friday. }

October 3, there are 137 students
enrolled, including many instruc-
tors, lab assistants, and wardens.”

Mawr. She was an undergraduate,

‘turally) in biology and chemistry.

She also was a member of the

after she left and housed the
Graduate School for a number of
years. Now, of course, the under

Students Welcome
Ministers at Teas

“Get acquainted with our local
ministers” was the purpose of the
teas which were held in six of the
residence halls at 4:00 p.m. on
Wednesday, October 1. Ministers
from six local churches were in-
vited to tea to meet students who
are interested in their churches.

In Pembroke East, the Reverend
Mr. Johnson and the Reverend Mr.
Aycock of the Episcopalian Church
met students of that faith. Rabbi
Berkowitz of the Jewish Syna-
gogue was in Radnor; the Rever-
end Mr. Smith of the Methodist
Church was in Denbigh; the Rev-
erend Dr. Mutch of the Presby-
terian Church was in Rhodes; the
Reverend Dr. Scott of the Bap-
‘tist Church was in Rockefeller;
and Father Rowan of the Roman
Catholic Church was in Merion.

Starr Oliver, head of The Chapel
Committee, said that she was very
pleased at the interest shown by
the number of girls who attended
the teds. They were a new idea
this year and the members of the
Chapel Committee feel that the
purpose was fulfilled.

New View Arises

For Parade Night

by Claire Robinson, ’54

How very strange it is! You
stand above une hockey helds, a
little uncomfortable in cap and
gown, anu watch. No more racing
down tna null, careiully leaping
over Gopner holes (and class-
mates). No more whipping rounu
a bontire, with last minute pians
and parodies bandied back and
.orth,

This time it is different. Gay,
of course, as such times always
are. And from this vantage point,
many, many things do not escape
your gaze. You see the sparks
dying up into a rosy cloud; You
watch a lithe green band of blaz-
ers, high priestesses to the cause
vt Discovering the Song. You ob-
serve the delighted faces of fac-
ulty children, some of them in
bathrobes, some riding on a par-
ental shoulder, some complete with
name tags. And of course the
Fireman’s Band, always ready, al-
ways so necessary —and best of
all— always pleased and enjoying
the antics of this eve.

Strange indeed it is. Yet with
the same, familiar core—this is
tradition, this is right, this is

Hockey Enthusiasm

Stirs New Players

by Mary Jane Chubbuck, 55

Enthusiasm for hockey has been
great this fall. Besides Freshmen,
a good number of upper classmen
have come down to the practices.
Miss Ennis, the hockey coach,
chose the squads last weekend and
has been preparing them for a
game today with Beaver College.
Many of the varsity of last year
are back, and the new material
looks good.

This coming weekend of the
tenth, sixteen hockey players
from Bryn Mawr will go up to Mt.
Holyoke for a hockey weekend. It
is hoped that Miss Applebee will
attend the weekend to coach the
teams which will be there from
various colleges.

Plans are shaping up for the
redecoration of what will be call-
ed the Applebee Barn. Mrs. Paul,
chairman, and her committee will
meet soon to discuss uses for the
building which is on the Scull
property. It may be used for en-
tertaining visiting teams or dates.
Another idea would be a place for
the Athletic Association Square
Dances. Which brings us to the
coming Square Dances to be held
Friday evenings in the gymna-
sium. They’re bound to be fun;
watch for the dates.

Bard’s Eye View
by Claire Robinson, ’54

Someday, when I am old and gray,

With stories wild to tell,

I’ll oft relate to children-grand

Those early days, now right at
hand:

Adventures of the happy band of
fifty-six.

They’ll not believe as I expand

On Freshman Week.

I’ll tell them all how I did seek

To fit.appointments in between

The big huge doings of the Week
that

I came to Bryn Mawr.

I’ll tell how far I roamed to find
my hall

Alone and friehdless (I’d missed
all the signs about a guide).

And oh, the way my room was—
what a mess!

With trunk that wouldn’t open.

But still—I will be hopin’ that

they'll

Be glad to undergo that same old
torture

Some fine day—

For I survived—and so will they!

Temps Retrove, an introduction to
the works of Marcel Proust, and
Dr. Richmond Lattimore’s trans-
lation of Homer’s Iliad.

Other publications exhibited are

Jones and Mitchell
Get Special Grants

Two Bryn Mawr students have
received scholarships from the Na-
tional Scholarship Service and
Fund for Negro Students. Evelyn
Jones, a member of the class of
1954, and Joyce Mitchell, of the
class of 1955, were among the
eleven girls at eight eastern
colleges to whom the scholarships
were awarded. Ranging from $250
to $400 each, the grants enable
gifted negro students to supple-
ment aid already received from
their colleges, but insufficient to
meet their total needs. This plan
directs the Agency’s funds to a
greater number of students who
need them.

The National Scholarship Serv-
ice, founded in 1947 by a group
of college presidents, guides Negro
students from all over the coun-
try to admissions and scholarship
opportunities in the non-segregat-
ed colleges of the nation. This
year, almost 800 students were
counseled and referred to over 160
interracial colleges.

Who Are You For?
Prove It; Go Vote!

Since this year’s presidential
election is such a controversial and
important one, it is exceptionally
urgent for all who are eligible
to vote, including Bryn Mawr stu-
dents, to take advantage of this
opportunity. In most _ states,
registration dates are now long
past, but it is still important for
no one to neglect to vote who is
registered.

Except in such states as Penn-
sylvania where they do not exist,
most of us can obtain absentee
ballots in order to vote. You can
get these by writing to the Regis-
tration Commission in care of the
city hall in the town from which
you come. This election is history
in the making. If you are eligible,
vote!

Tea Under Big Top
Fetes Class of 1956

by Barbara Drysdale, ’55

A band? Playing at a tea?
Don’t be absurd! But, delight-
fully enough, there was indeed a
band—a three-piece ensemble from
Haverford — at the Freshman-
Sophomore Tea with Haverford
last Sunday at four.

A clown, seals balancing balls, a
carousel complete with horses and
streamers, and many painted bal-

loons were the decorations, aii
done in bright yellow and red. «a
circus was the theme—Step righ.
up, ladies and gents, to see this
year’s attraction, the Freshman
Class.

Crowds of happy people filled
the gym, mixing, chatting, and
cancing, to say nothing of their
cnjoying the quantities of cookies
and punch p.iovided for the affair.
\fter the dancing, the band play-
d college favorites for singing,
vith the strumming assistance of
vackie Lindau.

As the-sign above the gym en-
trance read,..Welcome, Class of
56!” \

Children Lovers,
Come One & All!

Especially Contributed by
Emmy Taylor, ’54

This year’s super-colossal effort
is being made to enlarge and
quicken Bryn Mawr’s contribution
to the Haverford Community Cen-
ter’s afternoon program. Things
have come to pass where even
a little enthusiasm would be im-
mediately noticeable, which would
be fine, but insufficient. If our
share in this work cannot amount
to more than it has in the past,
our fictitious participation might
better stop altogether.

This would be a pity for us as
well as the Center. For here is
an accessible and rewarding chance
for anyone interested in group
work with children; those consid-
ering summer camp jobs, teach-
ing, or further work with the
Friends, would be foolish to miss
it. The children range from about
four to sixteen, the facilities are
adequate, but leave room, not to
say need, for plenty of ingenuity.
The plan is to subdue the former
riot and set up ah orderly after-
noon program, with students lead-
ing the activity of their choice or
invention—provided enough people
from Bryn Mawr aand Haverford
come this year. Undoubtedly it will
still be quite mad, and certainly
great fun.

It is hoped that anyone inter-
ested who missed the meeting
Tuesday, October 7th, will take
advantage of the cards delivered
in all the halls, and see Emily
Taylor or Mary Jane Chubbuck for



further information.

Pictura Overcomes Difficulties and Provides

Enjoyable Approach to
Continued from Page 1

sketches of bulls ani torendors, Or
certain of Bosch’s figures, included
in the story of the creation of the
world, might prove only to blur
the understanding of the art, even
though the story is an old and well
known one.

But these faults are small com-
pared with the clearness of the
mood, portrayed by the camera
which can animate and accentuate.
For example, the quiet Iowa farm
of Grant Wood, the flashing legs of
Toulouse-Lautrec’s dancers, or the
religious feeling captured in the in-
terpretation’ of the Creation, have
gained intensity through . being
filmed in this unusual manner.

Bosch’s large and detailed paint-
ing of The Creation, shows in a
simple archaic-like form the
strong religious beliefs of an in-
tense artist. The prehistoric emp-
tiness, the gradual filling in of the
living beings, and the chaos which
followed are shown in the film in
the way the occurences must have
represented themselves in the
mind of Bosch. In somewhat the
same simple way, Carpaccio’s
painting of the story of Ursula
has been filmed.

Spanish Life

The periods on Goya’s life are
portrayed by showing certain
events which he knew of life in
Spain. First we see the country-
side, made even more rural and
Spanish by the excellent back-
ground music of the guitar, which
is played and drawn almost sym-
bolically throughout the story. In
the country are the people who
celebrate such events as the Car-
nival of the Sardine, a reaction
against the restrictions of that
time. At one of these mass gath-
erings. the camera very cleverly
moves up and down from the tree
tops to the ground and when the
observer is thoroughly impregnat-
ed with a vertical movement, we
are shown a large cloth, held by
women who have just thrown a
man from it up in the air. Goya’s
animated style of drawing is even
more accentuated in his later
sketches of the bull fights, show-
ing both the bulls and the men in
many positions, which when con-
nected by the camera, practically
make a movie. The story results
in an ugly climax with the arrival
of Napoleon. The atrocities of
war are shown in many gruesome
scenes, and Goya concludes his
portrayal of the social history of
Spain of his time with tense por-
traits of the ruler, and finally by
certain symbolic paintings explain-
ing his summary of the situftion.

Loneliness

The lonely Toulouse-Lautrec’s day
in Paris is also much enlivened by
the camera. He starts out into
the busy morning streets to see his
favorites; horses and women. The
narrator explains his envy of those
who ‘have healthy strong bodies.
He goes to the park, the theatre,
the circus, and finally to the night
club. Here the camera catches the

kicking movement of the dancers’
legs, the expressions in the dis-
tracted faces, and as morning
comes, the loneliness again, as cer-
tain pale faces wait under street
lamps before going finally to bed.
The life of Gauguin is perhaps
portrayed with the least inspira-
tion. We see vaguely his desire
to escape Paris and the life he has
led until he becomes a painter. We
see his poverty and self-conscious
struggle to paint something dif-
ferent, something free. His final
escape is to Tahiti where he lives
among the natives, and portrays
their serene life and beauty. But
before he dies he still asks,
“Where du we come from?, what
are we?, where are we going?”,
and he dreams of his home.

Grant Wood

The American painter, Grant
Wood, shows great pride in the
neatness, wholesomeness and sol-
idarity of his Iowa homeland. His
painting style is, for the most part,
smooth and precise, with a flat
posterlike quality.

The producers of Pictura have
worked with the camera in a way
for which we hope more often, in
this era of quantity rather than
quality of films. Despite the dif-
ficulties encountered in trying to
change paintings into movies, the
effect is, for the most part, suc-
cessful and provides an enjoyable
approach to an appreciation of
art.

Besides Pictura, a movie on life
at Tanglewood was also shown.
Most inspiring in this was the
young conductor who was hearing
his music played for the first
time. Also shown were scenes of
the people at work, and of Kousse-
vitsky conducting a rehearsal of
the Overture to the Egmont Con-
certo by Beethoven.

In college we are called on to

June the two of them did a phen-

ing plays, contacting and trying
out prospects from Princeton,
Penn, Villanova, “Bryn Mawr,
Swarthmore, and Glen Cove itself,
and they even cleaned out the barn
and converted the stables into
make-up rooms. Early in June all
the preparations crystallized as
twenty young Midsummer
Players descended on the Grand-
jouan household.

Talents
Lolah and Claireve had picked
a group which combined talents
ranging from master carpentry to
ballet dancing, and ages from El-

Our days were spent in feverish |

activity. Rehearsals ran from
nine to twelve-thirty and from
three to six, and, as soon as Pea-
sie had risked life and limb to in-
stall the lights, they started again
after supper. Claireve designed
all the costumes, which two young
wives in the company worked over-
time to execute.

As time grew shorter, even the
boys were hemming cloaks and
dresses when not on stage. Peasie
did a masterful job of lighting, es-
pecially considering that she nev-
er had the opportunity for a
light rehearsal before the actual
performance.

Our audiences sat under the

inside the wide main door inclosed

Parodies

When we weren’t actually re-
hearsing or having a banquet-size
“tea break’, we sewed costumes,
wrote publicity, made and posted
signs, typed scripts, tried to learn
lines, did K. P. duty, and changed
the baby. Before the lights made
evening rehearsal possible, we
sang lovely old French ballads,
watched our dancing talent per-
form, and organized impromptu
concerts with an orchestra com-
posed of piano, guitar, tambourine,
drumsticks beaten on the table,

xylophone (Mme. Grandjouan),
and “flute douce”’ (Monsieur).
When performances had begun,

Mme. Grandjouan would sometimes
entertain the cast afterwards with
side-splitting guignol shows par-
odying us and our acting.

And speaking of Monsieur and
Madame Grandjouan—can you im-
agine what an exceptional family
it would be that would welcome
twenty guests for a solid month—
twenty guests who each required
double doses of food, attention,
and patience? Probably you can’t

Louva was usually to be found
in the kitchen, where she cooked
for her twenty players three times
a-day (breakfast, lunch, and tea at



first; breakfast, supper, and mid-
night snack when performances
began). She also fed a big floppy
poodle named Carambole, an ex-
pectant mother cat known as
Mimi Moushti, a flock of doves, a
bowl of snails, and a young screech
owl who appeared in the kitchen
during dress rehearsals for Glass
Menagerie and who later made a
practice of stalking along the)

backs of the audiences’ chairs dur-
ing intermission and hooting im-
periously for food. In spite of the
‘fact that her living room, porch,

props, Louva never lost the gay

There were many unforgettable
moments during the Theatre’s
run: like the excited little boys
who turned up in full cowboy re-
galia to see that famous Western
star, Tennessee Williams; like the
lovely flicker of blue and amber
with which Peasie lighted the
camp scene in All’s Well; like
blue-jeaned Lolah hopping all over
the stage wearing a floppy red
straw hat with bobbing apples on
the band; like having Claireve
come up just as I was getting the
records sorted out for Glass Men-
agerie’s big scene to thrust a
blanket in my hand and tell me to
rush out and wrap Lolah in it if
the candles set her dress on fire.
But the stories go on and on. If
you are interested in hearing more
or perhaps in joining us next sum-
mer, please come up and see me
in Pembroke ‘West.
