University Players The University Players enjoyed a second successful season at UCR by having two difficult plays well received by the audiences. Under the skillful direc- tion of Dr. W. M. Sharp the best was drawn out of both the play and the members of the cast. The Players' first production was The Second Shepherd's Play which is an ancient relic of med- ieval England, with its lusty, sometimes coarse, over- tones. It was produced with a bare stage and panto- mime acting. To make the matter more difficult, the dialogue was written in verse. The second play put on by this group was The Herakles by Euripides, a Greek tragedy translated by Dr. W. Arrowsmith, a member of the UCR Staff. This play could easily have developed into a mere melodrama but the cast did not overdo the acting and thus it remained a powerful play, one that will be long remembered by those who saw it.
