As the curtain closed last Wednes­
day evening on another, the tenth,
Edinboro Tournament of Plays and
after the decisions of the judges had
been announced, drama goers left
the auditorium with the feeling that
they had seen fine entertainment.
Although they may not have real­
ized it, they were also witnessing
one of the college’s most education­
al and independent extra-curricular
groups in action. Here is a truly
worthy project which gives student
<i.ai..a enthusiasts an outlet for their
int rest in the stage, It should be|
noted t at the six plays
of the
'lour lament were produced entirely
by students. The complete responsi-;
bility of the Tournament is annually (
assumed by the Edinboro Players
who telect their own plays, act, stage,
and direct them.
lhe presentation of these one-act
plays for the past ten years has been
doing its part in giving the future
dramatic coaches their first practi­
cal e perience in actually having the
responsibility of producing plays and
facing the problems involved in the
work. This, in addition to the fine
entertainment value
of the plays
themselves helps to make the Tourna­
ment so popular in this area.
In evaluating the finish of the per­
formances, the playgoer will also take
into consideration the regulations of
the competition under which the stu­
dents worked. Time for rehearsals
was limited to twenty hours; advis­
er’s criticism, three hours, and the ex­
penses of the production of each play
did not exceed ten dollars.
These
restrictions count heavily in the final
result
The program was one of a com­
mendable variety of moods and in­
terests. The first night of the
Tournament, which was held Novem­
ber 6th, featured the
outstanding
play of the six, a
modern prison
tragedy, “Moment of Darkness”,
w. ich took the honors for acting and
directing.
“A Cup of Tea” pro­
vided fast-paced comedy and “The
Duchess Says Her Prayers”, with
Ponzianno Manning’s prize-winning
scenery gave the audience a seriotragedy set in a fifteenth century
chapel.
Wednesday’s program included a
dramatic Tenessee mountain play,
“On
Vengeance
Height”,
built
around a mountain feud, another
farce comedy, “Good Medicine”, and
a clever pantomime, “The Toymak­
er’s Shop”.

Dramatic Club Honors
Le Gallienne At Reception
On the evening of November 20,
one of America’s foremost actresses,
Miss Eva Le Gallienne, lectured be­
fore an audience of students and
townspeople in the college auditori­
um.
Miss Le Gallienne’s talk was sprin­
kled with anecdotes about the great
people of the theatre. In particular
she spoke of Sarah Bernhardt and
Eleanora Duse, whom she knew per­
sonally. The principle theme of her
lecture was, however, the state of the
theatre in America today. It is her
belief that this country should have
several government subsidized reper­
tory theatres in key cities over the
entire nation. These would bring to
the public the classics of Shakes­
peare, Ibsen, Moliere, and many
others as well as the plays of con­
temporary playwrights at prices the
general public could afford.
They
would also serve as training schools
for young actors. Miss Le Gallienne
has made a great step in this direc­
tion with her own Civic Repertory
Theatre in New York.

One of the chief reasons for Miss
| Le Gallienne’s present lecture tour is

her hope that through it she may
arouse in the American public a real
interest in the living theatre.
So
many of the younger people of today
have had the movies as their only
ource of theatre fare that they hard­
ly know that such a thing as the
speaking stage exists. To these young

lege certificates issued to graduates of the 14 State Teachers Collegs, 426
were teachers in service who were advancing their professional status to
the college level. Thus, the total number of new college graduates avail­

•Facts also indicate that of the approximate 4,000 teachers to whom
provisionl college certificates were issued, some did not want to teach,
some were married, some died, and for various other causes should not be

that 10 per cent of this group could be eliminated for such causes. This

Bob Hahn, president of the Theta
Chapter of Kappa Delta Phi, is to
represent the group at a Pesident’s
meeting to be held in Boston, De­
cember 5. Then, on February 1, the
majority of the members intend to
join their brothers at the national
convention to be held in the same
I city.
Lon Watters, president of Kappa
Delta Phi Alumni, visited the boys
last week. His plans and the way he
has kept in contact with the mem­
bers of the fraternity have been ex­
cellently handled.
With the curtain on the field of
football drawn for the season, many
Kappa Delts swung into other major
sports.
Basketball, swimming, vol­
ley ball and ping pong have an ex­
cellent Kappa Delt representation.
The representation in the Dramatic
Club was also shown lately.

LE GALLIENNE LECTURES

future of the American theatre is in
their hands.
In answering one of the questions
asked by the audience, Miss Le Gallienne expressed the belief that the
‘little theatres” started by groups of
enthusiastic amateurs throughout the
country can and are doing much to
keep alive interest in the true thea­
tre. It is through the growth of such
groups that her dream of repertory
theatres may materialize.
Following her lecture the Edinboro
Players entertained Miss Le Gallienne at a reception in the faculty
room in Normal Hall. There Miss
Le Gallienne spoke more intimately
with members of the local group and
with members of the faculty.
