Kenneth Palmer Music for this performance was under the direction of Paul Howard Young. . At present several other plays are in rehearsal, but it is still too early to say much about them save that, in all probability, they will be: The Romancers, given as an out-of-door production on the campus early in June, and a group of classroom plays to be given during May in the College auditorium. Among them will be: When the Whirlwind Blows, Action, The Rescue, Fleur- ette and Company and Wrong Numbers. Some worthy work has been done in the staging of plays. The three most outstanding plays in this respect were: The Loveliest Thing, Tea For Three, and The Hand of Siva. These were respectively staged by Antonia Faulkner and Mario Capri, Gertrude Luehning, and Pauline Huse. -..agf 407135-a... N ,f'N - X.. . ,!'Nw,. ,. N, , N. . 'Rf'
