Wa -Ly -Way ezicriyafion 0 rama The Blue Mantle Players broke ranks this year, dividing into senior and junior clubs. Discus- sions of current drama cmd presentations of original one-act plays were among the projects of the senior group. In early spring members of both divisions attended a performance of Ethel Barrymore's Joyous Season. The junior group, consisting of freshmen, sophomore, and junior dramatists, enjoyed St. Lazare's Pharmacy as an extra treat added to their work in pantomime and farce. Every holiday is a party excuse for these thespians. As Andre Hodgkinson arranges Mildred De Vic's hair, Mary Ann Mollohan, and Joan Howe are busy putting on her beard. Their objective is to turn Mildred into a convincing Santa Claus to distribute gifts. The art of applying stage make-up is a difficult one to attain, but these members of the Blue Mantle Players are now putting into practice some of the training they received during their previous years of dramatic art work. Al- though uncomfortable, a beard is still the best way of making an actor look old, wise, or dig- nified. These characters-Patricia Keane, Peggy Butler, Mary Jane Dispenza, and Cecilia Sigmund-look quite complacent now but a disturbing melodrama has predestined them for tragic deaths. A lovely princess' heart breaks because a lover has killed her father and then himself. Viewing all this with fortitude, the Queen Mother decides that, since everyone else is dead, she might as well die, too. The touching story which brought tears of laughter to the Junior Drama Club is one of several pre- sented by the group. PAGE 78
