UNIV. STUDENTS SHARE HONORS IN TRAGIC PLAY "ROMEO AND JULIETTE" Prof. Reed Adapts Shakespeare's Play to Suit Theatre Makes Own Scenes Another production has been put on at the Town Theatre, and with it has been completed one of the most stupen dous things ever attempted with local talent. The cast of "Romeo and Juliet," the famous love story of Wiiliam Shake speare, was made up almost entirely of University students, and they are to oc complimented for the splendid manner in which they put it across. To most people, Shakespeare ist al most sacred ground and very dangerous ground for young amateurs. But under the guiding hand of Prof. Reed, all the usual signs of amateurishness were ab sent in the actors, the costumes, ..,d the settings. It was done with a sincerity and completness not often achieved by professional comppnies. Director Reed did some promiscous cutting which of course is always done when "Romeo and Juliet" is presented. He made his own acting version, mak ing his own combination of, scenes and a ines to make the play move with the proper speed toward the development of the plot. He also designed all the scenery which wlas the most impressive seen in Columbia in a long time, and with his University assistants every piece was made there in the workshop. With a crew of Carolina students on the job with Prof. Reeds by the last rehearsal they had the twelve changes of scenery down to a system almost equal to a revolving stage. The costumes for the production were designed by Mrs. Daniel A. Reed, and she was assisted in the making of them by a committee of town women and the girls in Mr. Reed's advanced dramatic production class. Mr. Frank Woodruff, who p;ayed the part of Romeo, is a sophomore in the scademic school, and Juliet is the daughter of Dr. Ball of the school of Journalism. Nearly all the principals were University students and the force ful and pleasing manner in which they - put across so difficult a play reflects credit not only upon Mr. Reed's efforts and their own creative ability, but on the University of South Carolina also. There is a possibility that the pro daction will be carried to W\inthrop Col lege some time in May. -USC Columbia High Wins Short Hand Contest Sumter Gets Typewriting Hon or-Miss Barnett Sets New Record for Novices Columbia won the short hand con test of the State High School league, and the girls of Sumter won the type writing contest.
