Wally Lamandola and Honora Rively QGwendoIenJ seated beneath the only props used for this play-the coats of arms ol Becket and Henry IV. The story of Thomas a Becket is, for Christianity, at once historical and legendary. Several years ago, T. S. Eliot's investigation into the tragic assasination of Henry IV's little archbishop was presented at St. Vincent by the Tower Players in Murder in the Cathedral. This year that case was reopened with the presentation of Jean Anouilh's in- terpretation of the story, entitled simply Becket. While the approaches to the man him- self are different on the surface, both dramatists find, from their own chosen perspectives, the real Becket, the man of God for the honor of God, who dies for duty, following, even in fear, the dictates of conscience. Adding yet another perspective, though neces- sarily of a different nature, the Tower Players underwent the task of preparing the Anouilh version for a Reader's Theater presentation. This was done under the able di- rection of Fr. Omer Kline. The task was a strange, if not entirely fantastic, one. The drama had to be read, re-read, studied, and finally abridged so that portions of scenes too dependent upon their visual impact could be either omitted or sketched in by the nar- rator. In the end, the actors were seated on stools behind lecturns and had their scripts in front of them. There was no scenery, only the words and their proper interpretive de- livery. For this type of play to succeed at all, it must do so through the power of skill- fully combining elements of the verbal image as inherent in the written word, the will- ing suspension of disbelief by the audience, and a convincing and provoking delivery by the actors. lt was apparent that these elements were present. Though the reading was somewhat long, the audience was captivated and completely held for the duration of the performance. 61

'Q to Right: D. Kennedy, J. Coulehan, D. Romeo, Fr. Maynard, GENERATION STAFF In Russia there is a definite lack of freedom, espe- cially of self expression. Here at St. Vincent we recog- nize the need for self expression. A publication has been born, therefore, which allows and encourages self expression by both students and faculty. The staff of Generation collects and edits stories, poems, art work, and photography of students and publishes it for the enjoyment and editication of all students. A comparatively new publication on campus, Genera- tion has proceeded with vigor and is among the fore- most of student publications. RICHARD HIMLER Latrobe, Pa. Psychology Forum 1,2,3,4. WILLIAM J .
