Miss Bethel
ToPresent
Novel Play
Thalians Hold Annual Bust
ness Meeting

The arrival in Salem of Nathan
iel McQuestion early in the winter
of 1900 after an absence of seven
years brought confusion to the
minds of Mrs. McQuestion and her
son, the Rev. Phineas McQuestion.
To add to the growing consterna-
ton of mother and son, Nathaniel
brought with him a dark-skinned
wife, Oparre, lovely Malay prin-
cess, who is uncchooled in t h
ways of civilization. She enters
the house through the back door.
With the realization that she has
come into Mats home through the

wrong door, she turns in her hor-
ror to heaven and offers a prayer
of forgiveness for the hapless blum
de; for, as she explains, her love
of Nathaniel transcends all things.
This experience was to be the start
only of Oparre's calling taste OF
Puritantical bigotry of early Sa-
lem, Masc. Oparre and Nathaniel
find happiness not from amassed
goods nor from intolerant Salem
society, but in their selfless, mu-
tual love.
So runs the enchanting story of
Maxwell Andereon's play Wing
less Victory" Because success
was accorded the play, and be-
cause Katherine Cornell saw pos
sibilities of making this novel tale
into a one woman show, Wing
less Victory was adapted and ar
ranged as monodrama with three
acts and two scenes accompanied
by musical and narrative inter-
ludes.
The adaptation was unique and
successful. Miss Eloise Bethel, dra-
ma major at Converse college in
Spartanburg, S. c., and native Will
mingtonian, delivered the mono
drama in March of this year at
Converse to an enthusiastic audi
ence. Miss Bethel has been in
vited by the Italians to present
this unusual piece to the Associ-
alton members and friends Wednes-
day evening, June at $3.50 pm.
as the last ITALIAN performance of
the year.
Miss Bethel was awarded the
annual drama prize this year at
Converse college for the most bril-
liant and versatile acting of the
year. For three years she has
taken major roles in the Palmetto
Players, the Converse drama club.
Chief among these were: F u
Rosenthal in Elmer Rice'c Flight
to the West; Linda in THE Land
Is Bright; The Countess and Sara
on alternate evenings in Watch
on the Rhine" the mother and
Pope on alternate evenings in 1.-The
Eve of St. Mark" and Sabina in
The Skin of Our Teeth by Thorn
ton Wilder.
Miss Bethel has been under the
able direction of Miss Hazel Alb
bolt, head of the Dramatic depart
ment of Converse college. Miss Alb
bolt has studied abroad and is well
known throughout the South for the
excellence of he teaching tech
nique and for the talented persons
she has discovered and directed.

and Everett Huggings have been
assisting Miss Abbott and Miss
Bethel in completing an appropri-
ate set. Claude O'Shields will serve
as Miss Bethell's narrator and an
