School, Harrington, Del. However,
there is no need to fear, for really

At least, that is what the e So Uni
versity Theatre from the Univer-
sity of Delaware tells us. The play
| is filled with the charms of Beauty,
| growls from the Beast, spells by
the Sorceress, and laughs from a
very lovable but mischievous rab-
bit. Since the plays are primarily
for children they have as always
taken specific care in seeing that
the costumes, scenery and play are
especially attractive to children.
Prices for children included chill
dren through high school as well
| as the lower grades. This perform
| ance is sponsored by the Harring-

great many will take advantage of
such an opportunity. Further an
nouncements will be made over the
