Mothers of st. Charles students
have formed an associate group to
the Stagecrafters. They make all
of the costumes used in the play.
In their productions, the Stage
crafters attempt to show among
other things that anyone can act;
that it's better to fail at something
worthwhile than to succeed at
something useless; that theater
technicians are made, not born.
They follow the old Shakespeare
an custom of serious feminine in
depreciation by men and boys.

duction finance the cost of theater

The Stagecrafters of ST. Charles
Seminary are in the midst of re-

production. The play this season
will be William Shakespeare's
"Coriolanus."
Although "Coriolanus" is one of
the bard's lesser known works il
tells powerful story of old Rome.
Caius Martius, the central charac-
ter, is a proud and naughty war
rior who, fearless in battle, wins
great victories for Rome. But he
is banished from his native city
because of his angry defiance OF
the Roman commoners and their
leaders. whom he despises. He
joins his great adversary, Tullus

scians, in campaign against
Rome.
Because of its relatively un-
sympathetic hero and its supposed

The play will be staged for pub

will begin at BIS pm. and Sun.
days matinee will begin at 2:3O
pm. Tickets may be purchased for
$1.00 from any st. Charles stu
dent or at the door the night of the
production.
The Stagecrafter organization
was founded at st. Charles twenty
years ago by the late Msgr. Joseph
Cousins. Purposes of the group
are manifold. Under the super
vision and direction of Father
Thomas Duffy now, the Stagecraft-
ers continue with the tradition of
attempting to develop corrective
work in speech, and to bring about
a greater transfer of values to
daily life. The diverse arts of the
modern theater provide hobbies
for every taste from carpentry to
cosmetology.
Students are trained in every
phase of theater life. They are Civ

but to learn set construction and

Mia Slavenska Frederic Franklin
ballet troupe will be cheating
themselves out of one of the
seasons joys. Non-addicts may
even find something rewarding
in the National Theater's new at
traction, which opened a weeks
stay last night. Miss Slavenska
and her company run through
quite a gamut of ballet during
the evening with both grace and
verve.
This is a larger supporting
company than you usually find
accompanying a pair of stellar
dancers on a concert tour. There
is a great deal of talent in it,
too, from Miss Slavenska clear
down to the smallest ballerina.
There is something to be said,
also, for ballet on a real, honest
to-goodness stage. You can, for
instance, see that these people
really are on their toes. some
thing usually taken on hearsay
evidence at that other place.
It's possible to use scenery at
the National, too, though this
group hasn't gone in for any
thing too elaborate in this line.
y X X X
The piece de resistance of the
Slavenska Franklin program
probably is the Valerie Bettis-
choreographed "A Streetcar
Named Desire" This may not be
as pretty as some fundamental
lists prefer their ballet, but it is
tensely melodramatic and packs
emotional wallop.
"Streetcar" isn't pretty at all,
as a matter of fact, for it is a
fairly literal translation to ballet
terms of the Tennessee Williams
play. The tragic story of Blanche
Du Bois gives Miss Slavenska one
of the meatiest roles in present.
day ballet and she is actress as
well as dancer enough to do it
full justice.
She will have you fairly we'll
wrung out by the time she dances
Blanche into complete depart
ure from reality. Miss Slavenska
gets excellent support here, too,
from Mr.. Franklin, as the
brother-in-law who speeds her
sad fate; Lois Ellyn, as her sis
ter, and Boris Runanin, as the
man who almost provides
Blanche's salvation.
y 4 y
For those who prefer the more
traditional, Miss Slavenska, Mr..
Franklin and company get
around finally to "The Nut
cracker Suite" the lively set of
advertisements from Tschaikow-
sky's "Nutcracker." It is we'll
worth waiting for. Crisply and
colorfully costumed, it is danced
with spirit and shines like a
jewel there in its bright setting.
Newly designed by Miss Sla-
venska and Mr.. Franklin after
the old Petipa choreography,
this "Nutcracker Suite" achieves
the difficult twin merit of IA
miliarity and a new look. It's
climax, of course, is the grand
pas de deuX, executed just about
flawlessly by the troupe's two,
stars.
1t is here, incidentally, that
Mr.. Franklin shows his mastery
of a fairly rare skill which
makes a male dancer friends in
the prima ballerina ranks. An
excellent dancer, he manages a
high degree of self-effacement
in the adagio passages, seeming
almost to not be there as he
helps Miss Slavenska display
beauty, grace and skill.
There is some other good
dancing in "Nutcracker," too.

cisely how he uses it. In the
course of Editor -Adapter Albert
Mares three acts, "Misalliance''
expands to include bits of every
thing. From its amorous center,
it spread especially into the
area of parent-child relation
ship which Shaw finds plainly
pathologic.
No one, of course. ever made
pathology funnier. Clearly then
if this relationship has degen-
Grated in spite of "Misalliance"
and a couple of others of his
plays, it is not Shaw's fault.
The characters of the latest
Shaw exhibit on the local scene
are not notably original, nor in
deed is the situation in which
he peels them, layer by layer.
Dressed up as Shavian images,
however, they are an interesting
lot. Clearly the authors favorite
in this instance is the man
played by Mr.. Green. This is
John Tarleton, the underwear
tycoon whose industrial and
amorous vigor could not escape
success save in the single area
of understanding his children.
Here Tarleton is an outrageous,
but substantially happy, failure
and the former Gilbert and Sui
livan comedian has a field day
with him.
Another character with whom
Shaw is enormously captivated
is Lima SzczepanowSka, the Pol
ish acrobat who drops in on the
Tarletons via an airplane crash.
AS played by Katharine Sergava,
she represents just the robustly
healthy flavor Shaw feels that
English society needs and that
"Misalliance" greatly profits by.
The sweaty lower classes also
are illustriously represented by
Hugh Thomas as the faint
hearted gunman. and the other
Tarletons and the naughty Sum-
merhays adequately by Robert

lesser works, to be sure, but it is
heady draught that is far more
Intellectually intoxicating than
theatergoerS are accustomed to.
When the present company is
not overwhelmed with sense
that it has personal contribu-
ton to make, this happy truth
about the potency of 'Misalli-
ance" is apparent. At such times
as the players aggressively add
themselves to the occasion, Shaw
disappears much as he left the
aterS when he was a drama
critic. This is a loss that the
comedy can i'll afford. Forum
Rtely, it is not sustained to the
point of fatality.

This "Misalliance, latest of
Shaw's shattering scrutinies of
the human comedy to charm
Broadway-from which it is
freshly come-is directed by
Cyril Ritchard. He too is a man
with a flair for intellectual slap
stick but is more prone than
Shaw to let it slip into the
groove of simple farce.
This is not notably evident in
the acting of Mr.. Green and his
more mature associates. AS for
some of the others, however,
they may have to answer to
Shaw when they meet him in
eternity. The one most i'm
periled by this prospect is Jan
Farrand, whose athletic mimicry
of the girl Hypatia could be the
sort that drove Shaw out of
drama criticism.
There's an intimation that
this is copy of Katherine Hep
burns "The Millionairess," a
performance from which death
saved Shaw.
"Misalliance," as it's title sug-
geSts. is a play about marriage,
This institution, next to govern
ment, is the one Shaw thought
most grossly miSmanaged. He
Is at great-and quite hilarious
pains to point this out, stress
ing the anguish of humans in
their confusion over simple sex
and their obligation to get the
species through another genera
ton. 1t is his point, as it was
frequently, that mere self
satisfaction is taking too limited
an attitude on this function
which the species deems so vital.
That his theme and feeling for
1t shall be clear enough to fol-
low. Shaw in "Misalliance,"
makes a slight concession to the
need for plot. He has mixed
the families of a rich underwear
manufacturer and an ariStocratic
ambassador in romantic situ-
alton if only as a take-of point.
