The enrollees were first treated
to a short scene by Gertrude
Splaine from "The Bat" in which
she demonstrated suspense and
climax; then came a scene from
"Our Town" by Charlotte Penning-
ton and Gertrude Splaine, follow
ed by an outstanding demonstra-
ton on the part of Jack Clark Of
a scene from 1.-The Valiant"
As Clark first explained to the
group, 1.-THE Valiant" is a media
often used to test or tryout thea
trical hopefuls and that his first
"test" in the theatre was this par
ticular scene from 1.-THE Valiant"
In last nights portrayal Jack
played all three parts including
that of the Warden and the Priest
as well as that of the lead. At no
time was there any question on
the part of the listeners as to
which part he was portraying and
his demonstration was very inspir-
ing to the initiates.
The main lecture last night,
"Stage Movement" was given by
Fred Taylor, co-chairman of the
committee and he covered the
stage" as well as the lecture in
his own inimitable and entertain
ing fashion.
One moment the audience was
listening to Ensign Pulver of "Mr.
Roberts," then Mr.. Redlitch of
BELL, Book and Candle" and then
Fred Taylor until it became OBJ
viouS that one and all were Fred
Taylor and exemplified his state
ment that stage movement should
be such that it comes, or at least
appears to come, as natural move
ment, not Stilted, studied or done
with malice afOrethought.
Some of his demonstrations drew
"benylaughs" and that's what Fred
likes. from then on, there was
no stopping him and his "ten min
ute talk" became a very instruc-
tive and highly entertaining "for-
ty minute demonstration
He will continue his lecture at
next Tuesdays session in "Stage
Pantomime or Expression" and,
oh boy, will we ever see "ham on
stage" then.
George White, one of the original
charter members of The Players
helped Fred out with the classic
comment last night saying, "You
have shown us how to make an
entrance, now show us how to
make an exit"
Refreshments were served last
night and the committee plans to
continue this practice at each ses-
sion, augmenting them every third
week with a picnic buffet.
During these pauses for refresh
ments team members are given
the opportunity to. become &C.
quainted with each other and meet
the members of the other teams
and discuss the lectures at length.
Before the class ended president
Mickey Renna displayed a very
model of The Barn pre-
pared by Buret Garnet incorporat-
ing some of the tentatively propos-
ed Improvements and renovations
now being given consideration by
the Board Of Directors.
Next weeks class will start at
800 p. m. sharp, Tuesday, July
27. AS previously announced, one
definitely need not be a member
Of The Players to attend these
free, entertaining and instructive
lectures on little theatre work.
