Having been a li brarian in civilian life, Marian was a natural for her assignment in the Post Library. However, when the progressions of the Allied offen sive rose to a more significant tem po, Combat Operations sought to round out its staff with qualified gatherers of news, and research technicians, and at this particular time, Marian received her present assignment. After attending the University of South Carolina, in Columbia for two years, Marian transferred to Converse College for Women in Spartanburg. S. C., where she re ceived her Bachelor of Arts degree. At Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N. Y., she received her degree as a Bachelor of Library Science. For relaxation, she likes a game of tennis or golf, but music and the theater claim a major portion of her interest. Marian has been a student of music for most of her life, and is considered a competent critic of both the opera and the symphony.

Frankly, it. doesn't mean a thing. You can call a rehearsal a month in advance, but If you can get any body there, you will be aoing be ter than we are. Even if the cast is time the scripts will probably be missing. If the scripts are there then the director is missing. Should the di rector be there, the cast is sure to be missin-P Tt' the most vicious circle you ever saw. Now, let's take a hypothetical case. Let's suppose the east, the di rector and the scripts are on hand. You should then tell the cast the idea of the play. Of course, for this to happen it is necessary that some one has read the play. This is where the hypothetical case fells down. Everyone hoped that some one else had read the play. No one had. At this point our dear pro fessor, known as Prof to his fans, patiently says: "Please read the play and come back tomorrow and go through your lines." le is very calm and manages to knock down onl3 two or three of the cast. Prof always says that the first qualities of a good director should be calmness, patience and a sunny disposition. In witness hereof I do affix one black eye. At the second rehearsal someone shows upl even if it's only the stage hands. In our case we have every one and everything present. (This, COMMUNITY DRUG STORE 5214 - PHONES .9498 625 Harden Street The right slant on refreshment K Prexy esident of KSK, Howard Halpin, idents, David Williams, tapped last ce fraternity. carun Backstage duction Told by the way, is yet to happen.) The director must then have the cast read the play on the stage. This is actually the first time it is read. It must be read by scenes. Of course Prof has to stop and explain just what scenes are. It's amazing just how complicated Prof can make a simple scene. As Prof says in his usual clear manner, "A scene take. place from the entrance of one character to the exit of that chCAP acter or the entrance of another character." ro have an entrance there must be scenery. There is none. A point is selected as a door and someone enters. Immediately Prof jumps up from his seat in the first row and shouts, "No. not like that. Do it like this. No, that -not that foot there, your back is to the audience." Prof settles down again and so we start once more. This time the other foot is used. All hands clear the stage for Prof. H e comes up like a mad bull. "The other foot," he screams. A meek answer comes back, "But Prof, you said this foot." "Well, I changed my mind. Do It the other way." And so it goes through the sec. 01nd rehearsal. Third rehearsal-same thing. At the fourth rehearsal, the actors are to go through their movements in a broad sense. It is a broad sense in that most of the ('ast are in the canteen 0or other points of interest. So ends the fourth re hearsal. At the 13th rehearsal, the essen tial scenery is to b)e up. Suddenly someone remembers, no one has thought about scenery. Prof then rushes outside and grabs the first student he sees to make scenery. The essential property used is a long chain and a padlock wvhich is attached at one end to the happy student and the other to the stage. This has proved very effective. 9 The 18th and last rehearsal, Everyone is weaury 01 it by this time. Trho ones that know their lines have forgotten them and the ones that didn't still don't. Every thing is to be ptesent at this re hearsal. Costumes, make-up, lights, props, etc. The costumes have been misplaced, the make-up is too much trouble, electricians are running wild all over the stage, looking for a wire that has blown, three fuses, and stage hands are sawing and hammering away. Even the etc. is missing. Prof is furious. HIis nose is shin. ning like a beacon, his legs hurt from running up and (town ft'om the stage, his voice is hoarse. 119 points a shaking finger at the whole crew and shouts. "Get out of here. But be back at seven sharp tonight. This play must go on!" CENT RA L DRUG CO. * 51 97--PHON ES--5198 1204 Main Stree
