"School For Scandal"
Starts Stage Series
Rehearsals have begun for the first of three major pro
ductions to be presented this season by Mercer’s Department
of Speech and Dramatic Art,
Richard Sheridan’s "School for
Scandal” will be performed in
Willingham Chapel Nov. 10 and
11 at 8:14 p.m. O’Neill’s "Great
God Brown” and a musical will be
presented early in 1967.
"School for Scandal,” considered
by the majority of drama critics to
be the foremost comedy of the
Restoration Period and 18th cen
tury, satirizes the modes and man
ners of the late 1700’s. The vicious
ness of scandal, shallowness of
aristocracy, and the contrast be
tween outward appearances and
true character are illustrated in
Sheridan's comedy of manners,
which encompasses the social con
sciousness of the era.
Acknowledge in his own time as
the most perceptive portrayer of
the social mores of the day, Sheri
dan captivates the audience with
his delineation of foppish gallants
and affected ladies.
Peggy Malott is cast as Lady
Sneerwell, the headmistress of the
School for Scandal, who is en
deavoring to expose the true char
acter of Joseph Surface (Michael
Day), destroy the love between
Charles (Hugh Dukes) and Maria
(Teresa Hurt), and involve Sir
Peter Teasle (Stephen Be lew) and
his wife (Rebecca Jones) in scan
dal ^
Sir Peter is doubting His judg
ment in wedding late in life a
sweet country-bred girt who has
turned into a true socialite. Charles
and Joseph both are being observed
by their rich uncle, Sir Oliver,
played by Clyde Hoover, who is at
tempting to will his fortunes to one
of his nephews.
At one of Lady Sneerwell’s after
noon teas, she and her friends.
Lady Teazle, Mrs. Crabtree (Ann
Jo Hendricks) and her foppish
nephew. Sir Benjamin Backbite
(Robert Markwith), and Lady
Candour (Dean Goad) are happily
slandering her friends and enemies.
The plots of the play become
interwoven through gossip and
scandal until they collide and ex
plode in a scene which is the high
light of the comedy.
Staff Stuff
Jack W. Jones, instructor in
music, has recorded an organ solo
which is included in a religious
album recently released: “South
ern Baptist Convention in Song.”
The selection included is “Praise
to the Lord.” Jones has been the

Baptist Convention for the past
two years.
Mias Linda Tabor, assistant to
the Dean of Women,

ner.
