ze 1 1933 ' PYGMALION AND GALATEA Back Row-Norma Brighton, Harry Swanson, Warren Bedford, David Sudbury. Dorothy Thaye1'. Front Row-Grace Elkerton, Peter Valle, Evo Valle. Nancy Bosworth, Robert Rogers PYGMALION and GALATEA Pygmalion and Gealatean was presented by the Art Classes on Tuesday evening, April 25, at 8 p. m. in the Senior Hign School Auditorium. It proved to be such a success that, in response to numerous requests, a second presentation was given May 15, 19323. Pygmalion, a Greek sculptor, fell in love with an animated statue in his wife's absence. Before her marriage to him, Cynisca, Pygmalion's wife. had been a Nympth of Artemis. Because of her love for Pygmalion, Artemis had let her go with the understanding that if either should prove unfaithful to the other, blindness would be the unfaithful 'one's punisliment. Hurt and angry at her hnshand's in- fidelity, Cynisca called down blindness upon him. Galatea, wishing to show her sorrow at what she had done. pleaded with Cynisca to forgive him. Cynisca did forgive him, his sight was restored, and the animated statue to stone. The play was different, excellently por- trayed and very successful. The cast was as follows: Pygmalion, sculptor Robert Rogers Lenceppe, soldier Warren Bedford Chrysos, art patron Harry Swanson Amesimos, slave David Sudbury Minos, slave Peter Valle Galatea, animated statue Norma Brighton Cynisca, 1'ygmalion's XVife Dorothy Thayer Daphne, Chrysos' wife Grace Elkerton Nyrinc, lfygmalions sister Nancy Bosworth llshcrs. candy committees and other assistants were students of the Art Classes.

However. this was not ef- fected without evoking the ire of several other talented cast members including Kitty Patton, tiawlessiy played by Agnes Lane, Ileane and Fred Patton, depicted so well by Eleanor McCormick and John Weatherby, Edwin Patton. wl'om we iden- tified as George Hume, Cranston Stepha- nie, in real life, Lee Swanson, and'To1n- my, no less than bristling John Done'-xy in the flesh. Also. well deserving of recognition, was the work of Margaret Nugent and Frank King, in the parts of Eunice Patton and Malcolm Barnes. tlrandinother and Grandfather, the two character roles so very hard to picture, were enacted with tremendous appeal by Anna .lordan and Francis Barnicle.
