SHAW,S MGD, MAD WORLD GF FARCE P01 D PETRIFACTIO if QF' rs is While the lover lays dead as the hus- band, who poisoned him, gloats over his body, Phyllis. the maid lLeanne Nloldowanl scurrics around batting her eyelashes and squealing in a high voice. The most modern of the three plays, Passion, Poison and Petrifactioni' takes place in a fashion- able quarter of London. The plot involves only farce as unbelievable things happen throughout the play. A lover, dressed in lace, is poisoned by a jealous husband as he unsuspectingly has a social drink. When the wife finds out he has been poisoned, she finds anything containing lime ta plaster bust, the ceiling? to try to counteract the poison. As they are tearing up the ceiling and the lover is moaning on the coach on the verge of dying, the landlord appears in the door. And be- fore the audience can collect their wits, a police- man makes his appearance, too. And in the midst of all this confusion, Phyllis, the maid is squealing and running in and out, flirting with every man on the stage. Starring in this very enjoyable play were: Lady Fitztollemache, Kathy Kohls, Phyllis, Leanne Moldowang George Fitztollemache, Richard Towne, Adolphus, jan Hall, the landlord, Glenn 69 Reis, the police constable, Donald Wood, the -1 doctor, Dan Ames, and the Choir of Invisible Angels, the Chamber Singers.

MARKS E D OF SPA REMODELI Remodeling has been going on in the SPA building this year, preventing the production of the usual number of plays done. The structure was built in 1980 by the Elks of San Diego, then was soid to the masons. It has now been reno- vated throughout at a cost of about S500,000. Workmen have torn down walls and ripped up floors so that the SPA will have a large ballet room, a dance studio, a dance theatre, a general assembly hall, faculty and staff offices, dressing rooms, two snack bars, costume shops, a library and various practice studios. Most of this is on the second floor . . . one can imagine how large the building is. On the third floor there are three theatres, seating 400, 375, and 156. The admini- strative offices of LTSIL' are located on the first floor. The old Masonic temple was painted on the outside completely, which gives it quite a new appearance, but painters could not quite cover up the carved title on the front-The Masonic Temple. Also still remaining of yesterday is a reputed iighosty, who is reported by SPA students to be playing tricks on the elevator and electricity. It is not hard to imagine the presence of a ghost in the blocklong building filled with usecreti' staircases and large rooms.
