MISSING FROM PICTURE Sharon Berg STARDUST SWEEPS HOBAN SCENE Early in December the curtain rolled back for the first performance of Stardust,', the 1961 presentation of the Hoban Student Theatre. The production con- cerned a college dramatics school whose students are taught to live all the parts they portray on the stage. A hilarious situation ensued when a Broadway actress visited the school and found the students practicing to be tadpoles, keyholes and sliced oranges. Marriage is vulgar! Society is vulgarlv shouted the devoted professor of dramatics, played by Jack Zeno. Martha Durbak brought to life the part of Prudence Mason, the Broadway actress. Marianne Marzano was Janet Ross, a student at the school, where marriage and a career didn't mix. Phil Ford, an art student in love with janet, was played by Greg Collins. Tim Palmer portrayed the Hollywood agent, Ierry Flanagan. The play was written by VVal- ter Kerr and directed by Brother Leonardo, C.S.C. Professor Bach asks his students when his guest Prudence Mason, will arrive.

BEHIND THE SCENES It was with the help of those behind the scenes that STARDUST was a smashing hit. Mrs. joseph Tulenko, in charge of make-up, did an excellent job of con- trasting facial tones with the lighting. The set con- structions of Brothers Thomas and Vincent made the stage into a true office of a drama school. Decor, handled by Brother Harold, added the finishing touches to the production. Also adding their talents to the production were the prompters, Bob Lapadot and lim Semonin, and Ed Riegler, who handled the lighting. 5141!
