In the first joint reception of the
Clariosophic and Euphradian Literary
Societies held Tuesday night at Flynn
Hall, over sixty couples and a large
number of stags heartily applauded the
varied music and literary program.
Tom Craig opened the program with
a number of witticisms some of which
went over big. Columbia College quar
tet, composed of Irma Lewis, Dorothy
Cunningham, Bobby Jean Turesdahr and
Clara Hainesworth, proved the hit of the
program when they rendered a number
of songs. Among them were "Kiss and
Make Up, "Together," "I don't Know
Why," "Nothin'," a medley of waltzes,
and "Lord, I Wish I Was A Single Gal
Again."
The impromptu debate, Resolved:
"The Increased Use of Tobacco among
Females, Is More to Be Desired 'l'han
the Increased Use of Cosmetics Among
Males," was as might be expected. Ed

audience with such selections as "With

"Blue Heaven." An amorous note ran
through the entire program, due to the
presence. no doubt, of the beauties from
Cohimbia College, Chicora College, and
a number of co-eds.
An informal recention followed the
program during which generous portions
of ice cream and cakes were enjoyed.

GOING TO MISS.
Will Compose Spoken En(/lish
Staff At Mississippi State
College for Women
HAVE COMPLETE CHARGE
Stage Manager And Assistant Tc
Leave Town Theatre
In Summer
Of interest to members of the Uni
versity and those who have followed
the progress of the Town Theatre is
the announcement that I-larry Davis,
stage manager, and Miss Ora Mae
Jackson, assistant stage manager, of
the Town Theatre, will compose the
Spoken English staff of the Mississippi
State College for Women beginning
next year. M iss Jackson and Mr.
Mr. Davis will leave to take up their
positions sometime in the late suntiter.
The Mississippi State College for
\Vonen, at Columbus, Miss., is an A
grade college, attended by some 1,400
young women. The department of
SpokenI English, which Mr. Davis will
head, with Miss Jackson as his assis
tant, is a branch of the department of
English, headed by Dr. L. G. Painter,
a Harvard man who has made a sound
reputation in educational circles. h'le
function of the department of Spoken
English includes instruction in public
speaking, diction, voice training, and
play reading, and includes the produc
tion of five plays annually, in which
the students take part.
MIr. Davis and Miss Jackson, both of
whom have demonstrated their abilitic,,
in the local theatre, will have at their
disposal one of the finest auditoriumi
in the south. This auditorium, now
under construction, will contain a fully
eluipped stage, with every facility
ftr creditable play production. In ad
(lition the college has a "laboratorV
theatre," with a small stage and small
seating capacity which is used by tle
classes in their study of play produc
tion.

Spoken l';nglish which was established

taking a leading part in the develop
mnnt of the drama in the south. It is
a pioncer in its own section.
Conlttntbians will remnmber the ef
ficient and capable work which both
Mr. Davis and Miss Jackson have rcn
'-red ttt the Town Theatre during
Ieir connection with the institution.
('oming with the local group three
vcars ago, Mr. Davis has not onl
.trved as stage manager, attendingr t(.
all technical details, but has under
studied practically every male part
all the plays prodticed during his co'
nection with the theatre. He played
the lead in "A I)oll'-s Iouse," secott
tale part in "Dust of the Road.'
"Iea'ries,' in "The D)octor in Spite of
IHiumself," Frank Hyland in ''The Show

nmer'otus ot her plays. Thus he( is
enabledl to take wvith himt to his new
tlac'e a complete experience in the
werk of the theatre,
Miss Jac'kson, much of wvhose techni
cal work has necessarily been without
recognitiotn from tile audience, is re
mlemb)eredl chiefly for her excellent
ebaracter interpretations on the stage.
Appearing in several folk plays, she
has never failed to convince and to
please. Her performance of the young
r'irl in "Sinup," was on'e of the decided
hits of the 1926-27 season, She is also
remenmbered for her perfornmances at
the old woman in "The Witches' Spell,"
as the old woman in "The Score."
She has also taken minor parts in
