CAMP US M I R K 0 K 2(> University Players The University Players, under the di rection of the Dramatics Committee, suc cessfully completed two major produc tions during the year 1943-44. The play season opened with Sidney Howard’s The Silver Cord, a story of the strug gle between a possessive mother and her two sons. With Marie Cochrane, Albert Barnes, and Mariella Ama in the lead ing roles, the play made a very favorable impression on the audiences both nights. The excellent support of Louis Peterson and Madeline Patterson was more than necessary to make the action go smoothly and weave the play together. In April came a presentation of Allan Kennard’s Cry Havoc, a play depicting the experiences of 13 nurses on Bataan. It was well received. Spelman should be proud of the all-girl cast and crew of that play. Lasting two hours with inter mission, it moved along at a grave and well accentuated pace to its tragic climax. On Saturday afternoon, May 6, the Drama Committee, Dr. Henrietta Herod, Chairman; Mrs. W. G. Thomas and Miss W. F. Perkins, entertained the casts and crews of the two plays at the home of Mrs. Thomas on Fort Street. The dining room table was beautifully deco rated and all were lavishly served with fried chicken, French spaghetti, fresh vegetable salad, hot rolls drenched with butter, iced tea, fresh strawberry ice cream, and chocolate cupcakes. Orchids to Mrs. Thomas, Dr. Herod, and Miss Perkins for such delectable refreshments.
