ANTIGONE By Jean Anouilh Adapted from the French by Lewis Galantiere Anouilh ' s Antigone was first produced in Occupied France during World War II. Later it was adapted for an English production starring Katherine Cornell. In the Wesleyan ver- sion Karen Quammen was a superb Antigone, supported by Mr. Yates of the Drama Department as Creon. Rodgers and Hammerstein ' s musical South Pacific was the smash-hit Spring Show of 1962. Charlotte Kelly as the love-struck nurse danced and sang her way into a permanent place of stardom among Wesleyan Spring Shows.

Cultural activities often transport the viewer into other worlds. Gogol ' s The Inspector-General, as staged by Professor Harry Coble, took the audience to Czarist Russia and, in cut- ting satire, exposed totalitarian rule to ridicule. British playwright Christopher Fry ' s The Boy with a Cart was presented by The Bishop ' s Company, whose appearance is a regular event on the dramatic calendar. Occasional concerts under the auspices of the Cultural Life Committee enhance the life of the campus. This year ' s special musical programs included Mme. Elizabeth von Buday, con- cert pianist; Miss Afrika Hayes, substituting for her beloved father, Roland Hayes, whose annual visit has become a custom; and the internationally famous Alabama String Quartet.

Tennessee Wesleyan College ' s Art Collection, housed for the most part in Moffitt Hall, offers an opportunity for careful study. Among the paintings on exhibition are two works by internationally famous Walter MacEwen. Born in America, MacEwen nevertheless made his reputation in Europe where he lived much of his life. Paris, London, Berlin, Antwerp, Munich, Vienna, and Liege were the scenes of his greatest triumphs, for all of these cities gave his work official recognition. The Dutch bourgeois and Greek myth- ology were his favorite subjects, and Tennessee Wesleyan College owns his unique treatment of these combined themes. It is his well-knoviTi Judgement of Paris, pictured above. Better known in Europe, however, is his Woman of the Em- pire, which was the major success of the Paris Salon of 1903. The original of this painting hangs in the main lounge of Sarah Merner Lawrence Hall. Mrs. Martha B. Hale, head of the Art Department, is herself a painter with an international professional reputation, which included an invitation to hold a one-man show in Ankara, Turkey, three years ago. One of Mrs. Hale ' s paintings is the focal point of the decor of Assembly Inn, Montreat, North Carolina. 14
