Jim Bronson, EHS Choir Add
To Success of rGreen Pastures'
By LejEUNE GRIFFITH
James Bronson as “de Lawd” and
the Eugene high a capella choir un
der Glenn Griffith shared honors in
the Horace W. Robinson production
April 19 of “The Green Pastures.”
Bronson handled his difficult role
with simplicity and sincerity, two
essentials of the character of Marc
Connelly’s Negro "Lawd.”
The choir was a happy addition
to the production. Spirituals were
rendered with the precision of a
much smaller group than the 125
voice choir. Only once were the
p ayers’ voices inaudible due to the
singing. The darkness between the
scenes was less noticeable because
of the music.
Clifton G. James as Pharaoh
came closer to playing his role in
t -rms of the deep south Negro than
others in the cast. There was a lack
of attempt by most of the actors
at imitating characteristic speech
patterns and movements of the
southern Negro. The southern white
' was more closely resembled—due in
Phi Kappa Sig
Initiates at UW
Twenty-two University men were
| initiated into Phi Kappa Sigma in
' a special ceremony at the Univer
sity of Washington chapter of the
fraternity in Seattle last Saturday.
The representation of the Univer
sity in the fraternity will complete
the Phi Kappa Sigma chain of west
ern chapters, which extends from
Vancouver, British Columbia to Los
Angeles, California.
The local chapter which will soon
I ‘ccive its charter was organized
1 largely through the efforts of Dr.
Frank G. Black, associate professor
! of English, and Glenn F. Sweeney,
veterans’ adviser.
Men who were initiated in Seattle
are Robert M. Allen, William Dale
Anderson, Gordon W. Burbee,
James B. Cassell, Donald M. Cassell,
Edward F. Coles, Oliver G. Deutsch
mann, Arthur B. Elbon, Vernon F.

part to the pale make-up which
made actors look almost white un
der the lights.
Robert D. Over as Noah was con
vincing in his role as the second
father of mankind. Alan Foster
played Moses with the tenderness
and feeling of a humble man. One
of the play’s fine scenes was the
ascension of Moses after being left
behind by the children of Israel.
Marie Di Loreto and Lee Sieveke
as the Biblical vamps, Zeba
and Cain’s girl, handled their parts
well. Anne McGeorge added much
life to the Babylonian night club
scene with her slave dance.
The pace of the play was slow. The
delay in picking up cues and extra
long dramatic pauses, rather than
the slowness of southern speech,
was responsible for much of the loss
of proper tempo.
j There were several exceptional
| scenes in the play. The scene in
I Pharaoh’s court was an audience
i favorite. Other fine scenes were the
\ meeting of Adam and Eve, “de
i Lawd’s” renunciation of his people,
the defense of the temple by Hez
drel, and “de Lawd’s” debate with
Himself as to visiting the earth af
ter His having renounced the chil
dren of Israel.
The stage crew under Edwin L.
Clark is due much praise for the
difficult job of adequately handling
| such a large production. Costuming
honor's go to Marilyn Wherry, and
the stage design class is due ap
plause for the sets.
That a play of such magnitude
was attempted should be cause for
rejoicing by all who like fine enter
tainment; that it was highly suc
cessful should be a source of pride
to all who were connected with the
production.

'Young Egypt'
Speech Slated
"The Situation in Egypt” will be
discussed by Ahmed Hussein, leader
of the Young Egypt party Wednes
day at 7:30 p.m. in McArthur court.
Hussein is brought to the Univer
sity under the auspices of the One
World club and Dr. V. P. Morris,
dean of the business administration
school.
The Young Egypt party is a
movement founded by Hussein
while a junior at the University of;
Cairo. The party’s aims are to
bring about not only political inde- j
pendence from Great Britain, but
also self-sufficiency for Egypt, so
cially and economically. Although
j the country was granted theoretical
| independence some 20 years ago,
j British troops still occupy Egypt
! and exert influence in many ways.
| With Party 12 Tears
Hussein, a lawyer, has been work
ing with the party for 12 years and
during that time has developed the
group into a strong movement
backed by 12,000 actual members.
It is sanctioned by the Eyptian gov
ernment and King Farouk I and has
aided materially in improving the
standards of the people.
Imprisoned several times for his
beliefs, Hussein was held during
| World War II by the British,
j Currently he is touring the Unit
ed States speaking to college
groups. His trip was made possible
by the donations of Egyptians who
wish to see the cause presented to
the rest of the world.
