Wagner. 28 Jay Presson Allen's play, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, examines the life of an extraordinary woman and teach- er, Jean Brodie, during what she con- siders the prime of her life. Miss Brodie lives her life only through memories of a dead lover and through the lives she envisions for her stu- dents. She molds her students' minds and their ambitions until they wish to become exactly what she dreams they will be. Miss Brodie considers herself the ideal mentor and proudly pro- claims, Give me a girl at an impres- sionable age and she's mine for life. Miss Brodie persuades her most. impressionable and vulnerable stu- dent, Mary MacGregor, to join her brother in Spain in the fight for Fran- co. En route, Mary's train is bombed. Sandy, Miss Brodie's student and confidante, considers her a murderess for sending Mary, even though Miss Brodie tries to glorify Mary's death. To retaliate, Sandy tells the principal that Miss Brodie has been advocating fascism in her class. This leads to the dismissal of Miss Brodie from the oc- cupation she has spent her life in. Devastated by her own girl's betrayal, she screams that she has been assassi- nated. The show was a great success by the audiences' standards as well as by director Michael Lewis'. He was ex- traordinarily pleased with the cast's fine performance and with the re- sponsible and hardworking crews.

Our new auditorium was the scene of our Opera Workshop's performance of The Merry Widow. This operetta, by Franz Lehar, concerns the fortunes of a small Balkan country at the turn of the century. Alison Wagner, in the leading role, played a tremendously rich widow whom all the men want to marry. However, she is in love with a certain Count Danilovitsch. Eric Arne- sen portrayed this playboy, who, only at first, wants nothing to do with the wealthy widow, exemplifying his poli- cy of often falling in love, seldom getting engaged, and definitely never marrying. The play depicts the elabo- rate attempts to marry off the widow to a native Balkanian, thus retaining her vast fortune in the country and preventing a possible country-wide bankruptcy. As with previous operettas, Step- hen Perialas was the stage director while James Walsh was the musical director. Mimi Toohey choreographed the many dance numbers throughout the show. The ninety-five actors, crew members, and musicians, directed by Gilbert Muir, received thunderous standing ovations during the three- night run. .If .lm ., .-.
