LIT'1'LE '1'I-IE..v1'ER's JUBILEE PROGRANI On Friday, October 18, the Little Theater presented a ju- bilee program in honor of its admission to membership in the National Theater Conference. Under the direction of Mr. Subert Turbyfill two one-act plays were given. During the intermission Mr. Ben M. Williams, Superintendent of Schools, gave a brief talk on What the National Theater Conference Membership Means to Us. The first of the plays on the program was an original co- medy, To Be or Almost Be, written by Dorothy Judd, a student in Balboa High School. The setting of the play was the Man- nings' four-family quarters in Balboa, Canal Zone, in the year 1935. The plot, in an amusing way, revealed the hopes and in- trigues of Mrs. Manning to preserve her family's happiness. The characters were: Ruth Wright as Mrs. Manning, John Zirkle as Billy Manning, Virginia Gormeley as Patricia Manning, Jack O'Donnell as the little brother, Edward Roth as Mr. Rock- wood, Blanche Miller as Mrs. Davis, Nathalia Bender as Mrs. Brown, and Ellen Conlan as Mrs. Jones. The second of the one-act plays was the dramatic version of Sire de Malet.roit's Door, by Robert Louis Stevenson. The scene of this romantic episode is laid in Burgundy, France, in 1429. The characters in the production were: Bob Rathgeber as Sire de Maletroit, Lucille Dugan as Blanche de Maletroit, Ned Dwelle as Francois, Bernard Keegan, Jr., as the priest, Tom Foley as Denis de Beaulieu, and Harry Foster and Robert Van Siclen as- men-at-arms. The French pronunciations were supervised by Miss Frost. T'he music was furnished by the Little Theater Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Bak-er.
