Footligbts Attract Many The Curtain Pullers Club was organized a year ago hy A. Lynn Altenbernd, now of the Army U.T.C., in the interest of promoting dramatics in Bryan High. The aims of the club are as follows: 1. To place more emphasis on the actual production ofi plays, 2. To begin dramatic participation in the Iunior High Schoolg 3. To raise the standard of plays given by the elubg 4. To improve the high school equipment and dramatic fiacilitiesg 5. To play to a larger and varied audience. ln times past our audiences have been limited almost entirely to family patrons, and it is our aim to build up such a high degree of dramatic productions that townspeople from all walks of life will be eager to attend every performance. We attempt to instill in the hearts of the members of our club that acting comes not from a book but from a being. It is something which is credited in the soul of a person. lt is not the response to a particular stimulus but is the act of releasing pent-up emotions with force and vigor. lt is, in fact, an escape from a drab existence into one of rose petals and sunshine. The life of the stage is one of romance, beauty, and fantastic dreams, as was indicated in the comedy, 'sShe's a Soldieris Sweetheart. We started with a club membership of' thirty-two and this year we have accepted ten for membership. -Doius Sii121.i.ii.'xAs Slae's a Soldier's Sweetheart by Anne Martens - A Three-Act Comedy The Curtain Pullers presented for their First dra- matic production ofthe season, She's a Soldier's Sweet- heart, on Ianuary 25. The plot revolved around Kip, an incurable flirt who fell madly in love with Andrea Vale, a movie actress who was visiting in his town. Since Kip had a weakness for pretty faces, he often found himself' in predicaments not easy to solve, but in the end Andrea promises to wait for him-the real thing this time- while he goes ofl' to camp.
