The play is a particularly difficult4 one to produce, because it covers a wide range of territory and repre sents a period of over twenty years. In the opening scene "Johnny," played by Dick Anderson, is a youth in a small Carolina town. He is a peace-loving man, and doesn't un derstand the World War, the first World War, which is going on in Europe. But "Johnny" is drawn into the war, and in the second act we find him at the front. Although far from a coward, he still fails to see why his friends and the Germans are killing one another. Finally we see the aftermath of the war, tweniy years later, as the world begins a second world war. Choruses of men's and women's voices provide the background for Johnny, his girl Minnie Belle (played by Mary Crow) and the other leading characters. The choruses are found first in Johnny's home town, at a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the town; later they appear on the far away battlefields of France.

"I got my first break as a dancer on Broadway", smiled the petite Miss Dunbar. It's hard tn get a break in Hollywood and that is where most talented youngsters make their mistake. The New York stage is the source of most of the present day movie discoveries." When asked the inevitable ques tion of how she was impressed by the City of Columbia, her face lighted up with genuine enthusiasm. "I think it's very nice, but the thing that I like best of all about it is this wonderful weather. I can't bear the thought of leaving it to go North this Thursday." Miss Dunbar seemed really in terested when we told het of the active dramatic group that we have at the UTniversiy and! especially so when she found that the next pro duction is to be Johnny Johnston. "I think Johnny Johnston is one of the best plays that I have seen on Broadway this year", she added. "The training that one receives in college dIramlatics should be very v'aluable to anyone aspiring to a career on the stage," she said.
