Children's Play
Wesleyan Presents
Land of The Dragon
Photo by John Tumor
Little boys and girls were
squirming impatiently in their
seats pulling at their ties or ad
justing their dresses while their
parents were threatening them
with nasty looks. The house
lights were dimmed and the
audience became as quiet as
one could expect an audi
torium full of children to be.
Then Wesleyan’s production of
Land of the Dragon began.
The play had every neces
sary ingredient to delight little
kids. There was the lovely prin
cess Jade Pure, played by
Peggy Parish, who was impri
soned by her wicked old aunt
Precious Harp played by Katy
Nettles. There was the dashing
hero Road Wanderer played by
Nancy Conner and his pet dra
gon Small One played by
Jessica Hughes.
The dragon was the reason
all those kids were really there.
Sure, they liked the wicked old
aunt and the three sneaky
cousins but that dragon, man,
that was really it! Once their
parents assured them that it
wasn’t a real dragon they went
wild laughing at the antics of
the dragon and the bumbling
farmer. The farmer played by
Eloise Bruce also made a big
hit with the children, as did the
property man played by
Martha Mincey.
But a whole hour of sitting
in one spot was quite a bit to
ask of that many kids, so the
pent-up energy of an auditori
um full of little devil* was
unleashed during intermission.
One boy got mad at his brother
because be tore his comic book
and a regular brawl was soon
under way In the aisle. The
most exciting moment of the
evening came when a cute little
girl in a beautiful white dress
almost pulled the fire alarm.
Another exciting incident was
provided by a gjri in the
balcony when she insisted on
sitting on the rail for the re
mainder of the performance.
The empty orchestra pit was an
irresistable object for the kids
up front.
Fortunately for the parents,
the second half of tha play
ended the bedlam. And to the
delight of the kids, the second
half contained two more dra
gons to laugh at. And as in all
good fairy stories, the evil old
aunt and the three sneaky sis
ters lost In the end while the
hero was saved from the execu
tioner’s ax. The hero and the
lovely princess were married
and doubtlessly lived happily
ever after, as all good heroes
and princesses should.
Then mass bedlam erupted
again as the actors marched off
the stage and down the aisle to
by Johnny Turner
the lobby where they were
mobbed by autograph seekers.
Finally mothers rounded up
their youngsters and packed
them off home where they pro
bably were confronted with
hundreds of questions such as,
"Mommy, are there really such
things as dragons?”

Mr. Clyde Holloway delight

Tuesday night, October 14, In
WlIBngham Chapel, with works
by composers as varied as Jose
Lidon, J. S. Bach, Wolfgang
Mozart, Olivier Messiaen, and
Julius Ruebke.
Opening the concert with
Lldon’s Sonata on the First
Tone, Mr. Holloway continued
in a minor key with Paasacaglia
and Fugue in C Minor, which
contained some extremely In
teresting uses of the Chapel
organ’s limited potential. This
number had a heavy finale, as
did the next selection, Bach’s
Chorale Prelude: “Schmucke
dich, o Hebe Seele.” This was a
gentle melody with musical
frills* Mozart’s Fantasy In F
Minor, K. 608, concluded tha
first half of the concert
Joie et Ctarte des Corps
Clorieux by Maariaen, the only
contemporary composer on the
program, provided a pleasant
contrast to the other works Mr.
Holloway performed. However,
the organist was unable, to give
this reviewer any reason for
choosing that number other
than hi
