'Seamy' Side of Play Glamour Carried On By Unsung Heroes Deep down in the heart of each' Of us there is <or has been> a sec- ' ret desire to go backstage to see the 'seamy'' side of the glamour, Which we see from across the foot-' lights. Well, here's a second-hand Chance to see what's going on behind those closed doors of the au- ; (Mtorium. and a view of the activi- i ties of those unsung heroes who do • colossal amount of work and don't I'd the curtain calls First let's get the low-down on the staging crew and their Job. After seeing "Much Ado About Nothing" last week, most of us are expecting a setting similar to the bright one used by the Barter players; that, however, was an Italian background especially adapted to the play and "Taming Of The Shrew" is to be given against the traditional Elizabethan stage. One alteration is to be made nevertheless, in that there will be two balconies one on either side (those familiar with the usual arrangement know that there is customarily one balcony over the inner stage.) On our stage it Is impossible to reproduce the Elizabethan one exactly, but you may rest assured that the ingenius staging group will catch the spirit of the' thing no matter what difficulties they have to surmount. Costuming Is another story, for there is more work involved In that than can be Imagined. Staging will be relatively easy due to the fact that there are no scenes to shift, and pages In costume will

signify changes with location cards; but the costuming is a whale" of a task. Whereas the Barter players used the Italian costumes of the period, we are going to use the Shakespearian ones to be in keeping with the setting Our wardrobe, while not very productive of the necessary authentic dress, is furnishing most of the finery that can be converted to the "real McCoy"—then a few articles are being obtained from other schools. Whenever this play is given it is possible to costume it in either Elizabethan or Italian style and it has been given by some companies in modern dress; however, in order to make it as authentic as possible the costuming group is employing all the wit and ingenuity In its power to garb the actors In the very best style. In producing "Taming of the Shrew" it has been decided there are many technical difficulties, but these have been "brought under control". For example a whole presentation would take three hours, so It had to be altered to the modern taste; also there is no distinction made between scenes and acts so the cast has decided to divide it in two parts similar to the way it was done by the Lunts in their famous presentation. If present Indications may be taken as a basis for judgement the work already done on the drama is certainly good Insurance for its being a "howling success"!
Students Urged To See Play Friday Tickets for "The Taming of the Shrew'' which will be given Friday March 7 and Saturday. March 8. will go on reserve for student, faculty, and alumnae in the registrar's office Tuesday morning. March 4 at 9 o'clock. These tickets are complimentary to everyone as a special Founders Day feature and the expences of production will be shared by S. T. C. and Hampden-Sydney. It is necessary to have tickets, but students are urged not to obtain them unless they are certainly planning to attend. The Founders Day committee also pointed out the fact that the students could cooperate by attending on Friday night so that sufficient tickets would be available to the alumnae for the Saturday night performance. Due to the basketball game, which immediately preceeds the play Friday night, the curtain will rise at 8:30. On Saturday night the performance will begin at 8 o'clock. These are both to take place in the S. T. C. auditorium.

We won't forget such things as door keys, pine trees, and parenthesis. Nor will we forget the open discussion groups when we sat around and chatted with the Bristol minister. When we pray now we stop to think, if we are using prayer as a catalogue, a crutch, or a charm. These thoughts were brought to us by Mrs. Allen when she spoke to us at Prayers.

Are We Good Neighbors? Much has been said about the Rood neighbor policy in the past, and it is still a topic of discussion. Perhaps we have added our part to the discussion, but have we ever brought the discussion home? Have we ever t bought about it in terms of our college life? If we haven't already thought about it, now's the time to give it serious consideration because if we aren't good neighbors here, the chances are that we won't be when we leave here to take our places in the world. Take an inventory of yourself. Have you really practiced the "give and take" rule that makes for a full college life? We say t hat we are so busy that we just don't think. That is just a feeble excuse for our faults, and wn really overwork that statement. We need to realize that here we are judged for our everyday manners, not for our party manners. How many times have we stopped to chat in the halls without a thought of how inconsiderate this is to many people who pass through them? If we have a special 'eason for stopping, why not step to the side and leave the halls clear? There is much more to being a good neighbor than lust that. We need to think about all sides of our college life. We need good neighbors most in our dormitory life How many people could say about each of us, "She certainly is the best
neighbor that I've ever had". People don't

With the presentation of "Much Ado About Nothing" by the Barter Theater Players, "The Taming of the Shrew" by the S. T. C. Dramatic Club on March 7 and 8, and the motion picture production of "Henry V" currently being shown in Richmond, the pictures by Edward A. Walsh of scenes from Shakespeare's plays and the | books about Shakespeare now on i display in the library should be of particular interest. If you are interested in authentic Shakespearian costuming and staging, Kelly's : Shakespearian Costume for Stage | and Screen" will prove to be an I excellent source. The Folger Shakespeare Library ! in Washington, D. C, is unmatched by any existing collection. The book about this library and its collection gives information about the non-dramatic works of Shakespeare, source books; works that Shakespeare is known to have used in the composition of his plays; allusion books, books in which he or his plays are referred to or quoted; and excellent photographs of the exterior and interior of the Folger Library Building itself. You might like to refresh your memory by reading from the collection of Shakespeare's plays. There are several copies included in the display in our library.
This week's article is being written under snowy conditions but never let it be said that a few inches of snow can call a halt to our sports. No doubt by now you have followed the beaten path to the hills around Farmville. How many times have you been tossed from a flying sleigh? This is a relatively new activity on campus, since we have never had too many deep snows, but it has been fun you have to admit. There is a bit of advice you should live by, refrain from staying out until you feel numb, or you will be signing yourself up for a quick sore throat or some similar ailment Take it easy on throwing those snowballs at the windows, who knows you may knock one out get in some vacant lot for thai particular sport, 'tis dangerous but fun. to say the least. Are you keeping up with your general practices in the winter sports? Don't forget that it wont be long before the games will be played between classes, and you won't want to be kept off the team because you lack a couple of practices, so go down to the gym and work out with the rest of your team mates. Have you had your daily dip lately? The water is just right and you will definitely feel refreshed, if you go down to the ole' swimming hole and practice your strokes, or maybe you prefer to wade.
