4 The Campus Mirror Antigone Loyce Willis, '33 Tall tragedy stalked across the stage of the Little Theater at Spelman College a few nights ago, as an excited audience witnessed the vain struggles of a human being against fate. It was The Campus Mirror presenta tion of Sophocles’ Antigone on the night of February 18th. The cast, which was chosen from the University Players, deserves favor able comment for the excellent performance, in view of the fact that its members are pioneers in the field of Greek drama. It is not an easy matter to bring the spirit of ancient Greece to a modern college audience. Mary Louise Smith, as Antigone, gave us something of real “theater”, such as is sel dom accomplished by amateurs. Her inter pretation was strikingly convincing. Willie Dobbs is to be remembered for her splendid characterization, poise and diction. John Young, the dogmatic C’reon, created a role. From beginning to end he maintained a standard of good acting. Raphael Mclvar was a convincing Tieresias. The work of Thomas Kilgore, Clara Stanton and Theo dore Nash was commendable. Florence War wick and her colleagues won the house with their Dance of Death. A space stage was used which, with the black background and the proper lighting effects, symbolized a tragedy of Greece. Many who had preferred Sisters Chapel for the production found that the Little Theater was more intimate and had more possibilities for the right effect. Josephine Harreld and ‘•DANCE OF DEATH'’—from Antigone Evelyn Pittman composed the music for the singing chorus, without which the play could not have been the success that it was. Cos tumes and masks were original designs. Much credit is due Wilbur Jennings for his work in preparing the needed stage properties and for arranging the lighting. To Miss Anne Cooke goes the praise for having directed this unusual performance. Antigone is another success for Miss Cooke, for the University Players and for The Campus Mirror. James L.
