Thespians Present “Three to Go” “Act well your part — therein all honor lies.” The members of Troupe 1692 were given an opportun- ity to display their diversity in three one-act plays January. The first of the trio, The Valiant, relied upon acting ability and needed no detailed scenery for its straight dramatic approach. Still Alarm was a hu- morous farce in which the emphasis was on under- playing in a sophisticated manner to show the op- posite extreme. This scene utilized props, set, and special effects, such as flashing red lights and smoke CAST The Valiant pouring through the window to denote a fire in a hotel.
