Players Pj
Of 'Scarec
By BIL
"The Scarecrow," a traged
Mackaye, was presented by I
nights of November 16 and 1
The play, symbolic in its exi
critics to mark an important
of the American stage. It repre
sents one of the first attempts to
picture a truly American scene In
the drama of this country-even
the , symbols have an American
flavor.
The Players, in the production
of this work, have given us another
example of their industry, re
sourcefulness, and plain intestinal
fortitude. With almost no assist
ance from the student body, as a
whole, a handful of hard-working
perennials have done a remarkable
job on a play that many profes
sionals would hesitate to under
take.
True, some lines were forgotten,
some props seemed disinclined to
stay In their appointed places and,
it must be admitted, some mem
bers of the cast were woefully in
adequate, but the overall produc
tion was more than a little satis
factory.
The lack of direction was as ap
palling as it was obvious. It seems
a pity that a group of young peo
ple as manifestly willing to learn
as the Players should be denied the
professional advice and counsel
they deserve.
Standouts in the cast were Carl
Vines, Buddy Long, and Jim Rea
gan. Barbara Cloyd, while ade
quate, did not live up to the prom
ise she showed in "Jane Eyre" last
year. Mary Hilliard and Jimmy
Howle looked the parts of the
young lovers very prettily. Gene
Rogers, JoAnn Dellinger, and Mar
lene.Rast left nothing to be desired
in their portrayals of minor char
acters.
Mort Bernanke did the lighting
which was handled most effective
ly to create the proper atmosphere
and mood. The programs were
made by Mary Shand and Jan
Rule.
The attendance was heavy both
nights and the general consensus
of opinion among those who at
tended was favorable.
Vets Can Save 15
Days of Eligibility
Between Semesters
Veterans who do not desire
their 15 day leave at the end of
any school year must file a new
form which was received this week
at the office of the director of
veterans.
This form (VA 7-1966) applies
specifically to veterans enrolled
under PL 346. It is useful to those
veterans whose eligibility termin
ates before the middle of a semester
and would otherwise have to pay for
the semester by their own means.
In this way,the veteran saves 15
days eligibility at the expense of
his 15 days leave.
