’laying rut ' s cradle seems like a weird way to put on a play , but Stan Telchin and Warner Schreiner act like they resent being interrupted. Hill Hanna and Betty Caldwell apparently are bored. The “ Great Campaign initiated the G. W. Players into the realm of Expressionism. Our production was staged in constructivism, with ramps, seesaws and swings representing emotions in various stages. The levels signify the various emotions felt by the people. The humble farmer from Zanes- ville, candidate for president, reached the top level, while his machine-chosen candidate rarely left the ground. Professor Mangum, who directed this show, and Dr. Natalie White, who directed “John Loves Mary” have raised the standards of the productions given and in time, it is hoped, the G. W. Players will be rivaling nearby schools in Dramatic Arts. It is believed that the Universities are the only hopes for the experimental theater. They alone can perpetuate good theater, raise the standards and retain it as a member of the arts. G.W. PLAYERS Left to right: Martin Techner , Warner Schreiner , Betty Caldwell y Louise Gertz y Henry Danilowiez , Charles Vorbach t Stan Telchin. 30 October
