DRAM!-XTICS HE SPIRIT of the Chico State Dramatics Department must be a reincarnation of the spirit belonging to that fabled bird, the phoenix, judging from the way it has risen out of the ashes of the disastrous fire two years ago. ln spite of almost insurmountable dilliculties as a result of the fire, the depart- ment has been of greater service to the community and has made a brighter record for itself this year than ever before. Every member is alive with ambition and energy and a willingness to serve. Such a state of affairs never 'ijust happens but is brought about by wisely directed leadership and in this case, the director, Miss Anna Louise Barney being not only a dramatist but a poet as well, has that dynamic quality and that vision which inspires in all her students a determina-- tion to succeed. One of the problems of the department has been to provide opportunity for aspiring Thespians to gain experience in public performance. This has been solved by the giving of student directed class performances. A variety of plays has been selected and different casts chosen in-soffar as was possible, thus afford- ing practice for a large number of students both in acting and directing. One of the happy results of this plan has been the discovery of unexpected talent in a number of instances. This year for the first time original work has been done by the dramatics department in writing plays. Two plays of this nature were produced on Pioneer Day. The lirst, a burlesque on our own dramatics department and the modern drama, was written in collaboration by Raymond Denlay and Stacy Wiser. The second, a burlesque on The Front Page, a Broadway success, now running in San Francisco, was written by Hamel McKay. The general public, understanding little of the creative or technical side of producing plays: dazzled by the glamour of the footlights, and carried away by witnessing the play, do not think of the long hours spent by the author in writ- ing it, nor the efforts of those who attend to the costumes, lighting, scenery, tickets and publicity. 35 Ea..-
