COBURN PLAYERS PRESENT PLAY Large Audience Sees Attractive Open Air Presentation of "Jeanne d'Arc." With the starry heavens for a canopy and with freshly broken branches for a background, the Coburn Players presented Percy Mackaye's poetic drama, "Jeanne d'Arc," to a large and appreci ative audience Wednesday even ing. The performance was nothing short of wonderful. The terrace on the North side of Davis col lege with its beautiful green cov ering, in which the footlights were placed, made a very attrac tive stage. The scenery con sisted only of entrances and exits, formed by perfect arrange ment of branches, so that the whole stage appeared as natural growth. The characters were all good. It would be difficult to decide the one that played best all were stars. Mrs. Coburn as Jeanne d'Arc performed superbly, and was each time applauded by the audience. She touched her au dience deeply with feelings of sympathy and pity. She played best in the first scene, where she receives the staff from Colin, thinking it to be the flaming sword of St. Michael, and in the third scene, in which she is wounded and is almost given up, when she suddenly sees again her visions, and her strength is renewed. Mr. Coburn played well as Jean, Duc d'Alencan. His manner was so imposing, and his personality so strong, that it seemed ie graced the royal throne even more than the king. However, Mr. Carter acted well Charles VII, King of France. The costumes of the players were all well chosen. The Maid of God was first attired in the simple shepherdess costume, then she wore the soldier's at tire. All the costumes were typ ical of the time of the play. The Coburn Players presented "Jeanne d'Arc" under the aus pices of the University Athletic Association. One could hear the remarks of appreciation and sat isfaction murmured about when the play was over, indicating that the audience was very well pleased. And finally, the splendid tribute enda with the address madle by Dr. Joynes, "On Growing Old," in chapel on the morning of his 80th birthday. Copies of the bulletin may be had at the president's office. Do you read Your paper or the other fellows?
