Playhouse Season Ends
With 'Villag.e· Green'. Flop ....
By JIM O'LEARY
The Little Theater Company's
production of The Village Green
by Carl Allensworth brought its
season to an end "not with a bang
but a whimper."
This is strictly tame stuff in
comparison to Counselor-at-Law
and Medea, done earlier in the
year.
In the first place, the play itself
is poor material. Dealing with the
dead serious matter of artistic
freedom of expression, the come­dy,
so-called, springs from the
person of a Democratic politician
whom we are sure will be elected
in Republican New England.
Snider Is Cooper Support
This person, Judge Homer W.
Peabody, so ably portrayed by Mr.
LeRoy Cooper, is the play's one
redeeming feature. Mr. Cooper
has upheld his fine performance
in Pride and Prejudice. the sea­son's
second production.
He has again displayed his abil­ity
for smoothness and complete
mastery of the role. We feel that
this is indeed the politician of can­ned
speeches and an unlimited air
supply.
But one man cannot make a
play, and the only support Mr.
Cooper receives is from Mr.
Claude Snider, an excellently' cast
prototype of the bigoted, unrea.
soning cleric who is, you may be
sure, balanced by an equally tol­erant
and broadminded minister
of the gospel.
Sigma Kappa and Lambda Chi Alpha
Take First l[)lace in Fryberger Sing
Mr. Snider's choleric harangues
on behalf of public morals are
convincing, but the part is small.
It may be said, however, that
what little audience response was
to be had, Mr. Snider got.
Actors Lack Feeling
Judge Peabody and his group
t~e their noble stand with its
inevitable result of victory for
artistic integrity. Political ethics
are weighed in the process and
are found fully accredited with
the help of the Judge's domineer­ing
wife. The customary boy.girl
estrangement ends with the cus­tomary
boy-girl reconciliation.
By JIM O'LEARY
It was a single exaggerated syl­lable
that brought Chi Omega in
second behind Sigma Kappa in
the twelfth annual Fryberger
Sing Wednesday, May 10 in the
SUB.
Chi 0 trailed only 5 points be­hind
Sigma Kappa's total score of
237. Their error, according to the
judges was exaggarating the
"tor 's"' in a rendition of "Jani~
tor's Boy."
Sigma Kappa won the first
place award for women by a suc­cessful
and well-shaded rendi­tion
of "Row, Row . Row."
Lambda Chi Alpna took top
honors for the men's division with
a vigorously performed "You'll
Never Walk Alone." They garner­ed
a total of 235 points out of a
possible 250.
Program Wu Broadcui
Delta Upsilon won the ~~r.
up spot in the male competition
with 2HI points, in spite of what
the judges considered a poor B?ng
choice. They did "Delta Upsilon
Medley."
Sam Stumbo, acting as master
of ceremonies, explained that the
"L" Club postponed their dane
until May 24 so the SiDJ could
held in the SUB that night.

The play failed, on the opening

This production is no Medea.

the right to expect in the same

conducted by Dr. Harvey Webster, and held in conjunction with the
NBC Theatre of the Air, had been given the First Award for Cul­tural

U of L was chosen for the cita­tion
from applications submitted
by hundreds of colleges and uni­versities
throughout the nation.
According to Mr. Arthur Gunder­son,
publicity director of the Uni­versity,
"It is one of the best
awards a university can win for
its educational programs.''
The Institute, which has been
in existence for the past ten or
fifteen years, gives awards to
both commercial and non-com­mercial
programs. The NBC The­atre
received the First Award this
year in drama and literature in
the national class.
The citation received by Dr .
Webster's program which is

represents a distinguished
attempt to supplement network
productions by broadcasting local
adult discussion groups. An excel­lent
intention and one worthy of
recognition! The lecturer was in­formal
and friendly, while the
discussion itself was significant
and informative. When combined
with excellent production tech­niques,
the end result was a very
successful program.''
