slip. And if we mad any little
Oscars" in the desk to be awarded
for the best performances of the
evening they would 60 to Elinor
Evans and Carolyn Rogers.
In second place the lexington
Players production of 'Lucrezia
Borgia's Little Party" emerged after
the second ballot to break tie. It's
mad piece, this burlesque of a
Borgia dinner party, and played
more than passably well it made
half-hour shorter and brighter.
Third place award went to the
Cue and Curtain Club of George
Washing .on University for its I'm
Heaven and Earth" play with
some fairly potent dramatic doings,
played with precision if not always
with inspiration. The dialogue of
Submerged" was all that kept the
Theater Group of the Interior De-
partment Recreation Association out
Of the money. The boys put up a
strenuous fight. but nobody could
lick Submerged"
With the Community Center De-
partment's 18th one-act play tour
nament out of the way, another
one comes along on which the
drama desks are asked to pass
judgment. This next one is the
intramural one-act play tourney of
the Mask and Bauble Club of
Georgetown University, scheduled
for Thursday night at CASTOR Hall.
Three classes will be represented,
the senior class not having enough
members of Mask and Bauble to
work up a good play. The place of
the seniors will be taken, however,
by a group of players from the
Foreign Service School, who will at
tempt to outclass the college in the
contest.
