issih HU NTRS ks SUNSTEIN URE ih i ERIN ES En st DRAMA “EVERYMAN The morality play “EVERYMAN,” directed by Hugh G. Heiland, was presented by the Wilmington College players six times during the week of dedication of the Fine Arts Center. A distinct type of drama of the late Medieval and the Renaissance periods, it was written primarily for the purpose of teaching a moral lesson and was character- istically concerned with a conflict of the Virtues and Vices for the Soul of Man. A cast of twenty-eight presented the play, with Charles Worth as Everyman, under the direction of Hugh Heiland. Brillant the- atrical costumes, designed by Mr. Heiland, lent much to the play as did the mood set- ting accompaniment on the organ and by the Aeolian Choir, under the direction of Wil- liam G. Hinton. The setting of the play was made to repre- sent the steps and facade of a Medieval Cathedral having three separate levels broken by steps. This setting lent itself to the movement a nd dramatization of the various types of scenes. Lighting through- out the play was strikingly well-done, es- pecially with the personification of God, the grave scene, and the colorful dance se- quence. E. B. Radcliffe, theatre editor for the Cin-- cinnati Enquirer, gave much space in his column in approving criticism. His last com- ment on the play read: “Let us hope that Wilmington’s dedicatory revival will be kept in the college theater’s repertory. It cer- tainly, bears repeating.”
