outstanding jobs of acting in botb
Carl Atkins and Mary Crowt
showed up exceedingly well in the to
first presentation, sharing the hon- w
0 ors any time they appeared on stage
together, and giving two of the most
convincing characterizations yet
seen on the Drayton Hall stage. a
Atkins was playing the part of o
David Adam, international man eg
about town and secret service agent,
and was outstanding in a part that S,
was tailor-made for his personality ba
Frank Bell, who played this role the jc
following night also did a very bt
creditable job. in
Mary Crow played the part of B:
Grace Clark, an elderly mother, in bu
the first night's cast, and took the th
part of Fido Desteau, Broadway hi
beauty, on the second night. Miss w,
Crow's performance as Fido, was ap
not up to her masterful handling of (
the ,acrid-tongued old lady of the be
night before. be
Of the two performances, we it
found the first more suspenseful and E:
having that certain air of sabotage
that held the audience well. da
Laura Lee Green made a very qu
convincing Grace in the second sis
night performance. Dorothy Sligh w9
e and Alice Glominski, sharing the sic
part of Mrs. Rheims, German spy, Cl
showed up well. va
There seemed to be a slight lack
of coordination on stage in the nil
second performance that kept it 'c
from quite coming up to the first th
night's record, which can be ex
plained by the fact that most of the is
first night actors were older and lo(
more experienced, the majority hav- wa
ing appeared in buveial Clistopher- th
sen productions heretofore.
The play itself calls for a lot from
the actors, who can definitely nake C
or break it. The plot is time-lion
ored, but very effective and appro
priate to the times, and has several
new twists. It concerns the doings
of an inventor, German and Ameri
can agents, and the typical Ameri- de
can family, who are all mixed up i
in an intrigue to get the invention. re
It is an excellent piece of theater, tic
leaving only one thing to be de
sired, a summation in a good cur- ga
tain speech. Otherwise, we foundlo
the dialogue very clever, with sev-1
eral double-entendres that only the
cosmopolitan Christophersen could ga
concoct-and which sometimes went ni~
9 entirely over the heads of the a'u- nu
dience.
Other members of the two casts of
were: Bill Tennant, who played a o
restrained, but effective, Henry th<

Immortal words that will A

The program scheduled a de- E
bate-a debate on a subject that

Slated to speak were: Lester S
Pilcher, Charles Welbourne, S
Deward Brittain and Jim Mc- S

None of the debaters ap- Y
peared. S
The society adjourned.
Doubtless their thirst for
knowledge had been satiated by R

Emergency Rating
Defense Goods Must Be
Used With Discretion,
Storing Up Forbidden
A-10 is the University's priority
unber as designated by the federal
)vernment in connection with the
esent national emergency, W. Frank
aylor, business manager of the Uni
rsity, revealed yesterday.
"There are," Taylor said, "nine
assifications of educational institu
>ns, under the government priority
t, that are required to order cer
in commodities and materials, being
ed for defense purposes, under fed
al supervision.
le also pointed out that the Uni
rsity of South Carolina has had no
>uble yet in obtaining priority ma
rials, but that there could be some
rficulty perhaps in ordering certain
ims such as furnace grates, chemi
Is, test tubes and beakers; materials
ed in the chemistry and biology
bs.
"Of course, in ordering items for
riergency repairs and emergency in
ntories there could be some adjust
ent made, but under no circumstance
-e we to stock up on priority items,"
r. Taylor said.
"Instead of waiting until the sum
er months, as we have done in the
ist, to order commodities for the
isuing fall session, we will fill out
id send in our orders in the spring
as to better the possibilities of ob
ining these priority items," he con
uded.
lew Motion Pictures

One hundred and seventy new mo
m picture films have been added to
e film library of the audio-visual
Is bureau of the University, ac
rding to a recent bulletin from the
Ktension division office.
With this addition, the number of

om one to five reels and covering a
.riety of subjects, are grouped under
ro headings - classroom teaching
ms and scenic and industrial films.
These pictures are rented or lent
the Extension division to schools,
ibs and other organizations through
it the state.
The division has several club plans
rough which those who wish may
tain film service for a year. For
stipulated fee the subscribers to
ese plans receive a certain number
classroom teaching films and have
cess to the library of scenic and in
istrial pictures at no extra cost.
Other films which are not includ
in the library can be ordered by the
dio-visual aids bureau if there is a
quest for one of them. Such films
ay also be obtained under the club
ntal plan.
Work is progressing rapidly on an
