Web Peel Cre SAD well eB . .%, +% ¢ The History of the Class of 1931: “STRANGE INTERLUDE” A Playlet in 8 Acts by EUGENE O'NEILL Time: 1960 Character: One (and only one) scientist. Quality: None. Quantity: That's your tough luck. Reading Time: Dependent on your per- severance. Stage Setting: An immense laboratory filled with intricate machinery about which only the scientist knows (and, incidentally, cares.) Center: a huge television machine. As the curtain rises, a corpulent scientist is seen. He is a man of about fifty, and his most distinguishing feature is his mop of hair, cut in the manner of the late Prof. Ein- stein. From time to time we catch snatches of his soliloquy: “Eureka!— Prohibition! — (Speaking to the machine) —At last my ambition has been realized. With you, my pet, (he kisses the machine) I shall be able to look back upon the past, when I was a dashing Beau Brummel.” (He turns on machine.) Stage darkens. Strange lights begin to quiver. A humming is heard. A screen begins to glow. “What shall it be? Ah! My high school days! (He turns dial.) A long dirty-yellow building appears. A swarm of children (ten years of age) are approaching the door. Scientist (with a grunt of astonishment and disbelief): “What! Was I one of those nin- compoops? Impossible! (A roar of thun- der. Disturbances on the ether. A tense moment. From now on we see only occasional pictures.) The assembly hall, well packed, appears. A large, white-haired man domin- nates the scene. Man (ahemming): ‘No one has the right to do that which, if everyone did it, would destroy society. And now, I will read the honor roll. First of all, a new record has been created by the class of ‘313. They have the least number of names ever attained here.’ (Applause.) EINE, I] Scene same as in I. Occupants changed, somewhat. Same dominant figure leans trust- ingly on weak reading stand. (Whispers at side: “Fifty cents it breaks now.) Man holds up his hand: ‘This is the class of---?” Children dutifully and = childishly shout, 313! A pane of glass from skylight barely misses the head of the dominant person. SCENE [iI Our first class picture. Behind the banner proudly stand Bob Fellows, Jean Beauvais, Ruth Ehrlich, Bud Newell, and Luke Smith. We called these our class officers. Treasurer stands with head bowed; there is no money in her coffers. SCENE. [V Two scenes are outstanding in a meagre Junior year: a successful Junior Prom and a profitable (?) Elijah. Figures behind the banner have changed. Luke Smith in Jean Beauvais’ place; June Martin (head drooping, you know why) takes Bud Newell's position; Dick Blanchard steps gallantly to the fore. SCENE V Flashes on screen come faster. Thunder crashes loudly. Figures on screen become larger and pompous, almost (Heaven help us!) dignified. They still, however, scurry about the halls, shouting. Voices are heard: “Have you paid your class dues?” That's Louise Smith. “Have you had your inter- view with Mr. Hill?” A blank space. Then activities continue — ‘Have you any extra Prom tickets?’ A loud warning crash. Then: “May I make an announcement in assembly ?”’ White-haired man bellows, “What do you mean by asking me five minutes beforehand?” Answer (timidly): “But our last president made it a custom.” Room gets darker. tearing hair and moaning. My machine has been disgraced. destroyed!” Another flash. Class Day Committees are rushing about finishing last-minute plans. Room 323 resembles the stock exchange on Panic Day. Scientist groans at the pictures of his lurid past. Suddenly he springs into action. The machine bursts into flame. Scientist sighs happily. Now no one need know about those terrible days. He sighs eats SCENE VI A newsboy rushes across the stage carrying some Daily Mirrors and shouting: “Latest news of scientist's mysterious suicide. Reasons unknown. Said by some to have been de- jected..... Latest news!” END OFFCAGS I (Editor's note: The last seven acts of STRANGE INTERLUDE have been banned by Boston censors. ) Scientist has been “Ah, me! Oh, woe! It must be RoGER BENDER MILTON, WHITE
