Bowmer, were extravagant in their praise of the production and voiced the hope that the play could be brought to Med ford in the near future. Following is a portion of a review of "Our Town" by Ollie Depew, assistant professor of English at the college: "The College players gave a magnificent performanceof Thornton Wilder's tremendous play, 'Our Town.' The play, to begin with, is a masterpiece of tugging emotion wrung from scenes of simple but universal problems of workaday people. Just daily living as a backdrop for the three solemn episodes of life birth, marriage, death. "This most outstanding play of recent years is unique in its conception. A commentator stands by the curtain and takes the audience into his confidence, ss the stage before their eyes, orders the actors on and off the stage, has the auditorium plant ed thick with helpers who take part in the play; and by sucn informal means shows two typi cal families of 'our town' with their commonplace problems everybody's problems. They are not dramatic problems. Just get ting born, living a decent life and, early or late, dying out of it. Thornton Wilder had the gen ius in this play to make the sim ple appear grand, to project this matter of living-a-lile in a way to create a moving spectacle. The play is an 'Everyman' done in homespun. It moves with amazing speed from tragic to comic from pathetic to riaicu- lous. mingling emotions like April weathers. Roles Don Wall "To say that the College Play ers did Justice to this plav is high praise. Their production moves as smoothly as a Broad way production. The com mentator, Burke Yaden, enacts a moving part with the restraint and confidence of reserve power Duain Monroe's portrayal ot con flicting emotions in soft-hearted callow youth is a masterpiece ot mingled comedy and pathos. Other leading parts, all done with the quality of profession alism, were performed by Helen Sperling, Ethel May Robinett, Corinne Harwood, John Barker, and Robert Sharyon. In a cast of 34 actors not one failed to rise to his responsibility. ' 'Our Town is a play to be seen and remembered. Nothing of its kind has hitherto been presented by the College Play ers." Shower Party la Pleasant Event Mrs. Galen Knox and Mrs. Jerry Burroughs entertained at the latter s home on Tripp street last week with a shower party in honor of Mrs. Earl Harrison Guests enjoying the pleasant (fair were Mesdames Tom Johns, Raymond Price, Henry Gault, Harold Miller, O. J Wolfe, Grant Todd. Art Curry. Jessie McFadden, M. J. Bur roughs, J. R. Burdell, James Ping, and Joe Cook. The Misses Clarita Bcrnert. Virginia Goodman, Betty Dal la ire and Margaret Burroughs.
