Little Theatre Cartuffe Is Superior ti Acting Directing By Don Yarbrough The Little Theater's production of Moliere's Tartuffe opined Wednesday evening and continues through Saturday of this week. The two-act version is based upon the 1869 version in five acts. The play ori^ n 17th century Paris; ho the costume and set designs are according to the early 19th century tradition, long after rmation of the Comedie Francaise. Miss Sandi Allen, who does not adequately portray the old Madame Pernelle due to her youthful mannerisms, and rapid gestures and speech, renders a nicely projected performance nonetheless. Her posture is perfectly delightful. Her accent Is befitting her role. Miss Bonnie Wright does a pendid job from the outset, 'he awkward and impertinent )orine is consistently laugh- ble and lovable. The audience informed of her proper po- ition when she stands in front f the window. But the stub- orn Dorine perfers the sill, nd her antics there deserve larticular note. Bill Smathers as Cleante is not emphatic enough during h i s intimate conversation with Orgon. He runs his words together and does not respond deliberately to changing situations. Otherwise Mr. Smather's actions are satisfactory. Throughout the last scene his excitement s effective; his whispered advice to Orgon together with is bodily movements exemplify Mr. Smather's dramatic potential. Damis, the young man caught etween the counfounding as- irations of youth places a TARTUFFE (Smith) and Elmire (S; fee the large demand on Mr. Hirt, who does a commendable job. At the appropriate moments he bursts with emotion, and at other times plays it cool as is humanly possible for a young Frenchman. Miss Trlmber as Marianne conceals her face from the audience, and does not always convey her words; her crying scene calls for more punch. Her swooning over Valere, however, is amiable; She exhibits that delicate manner of a young maiden In love quite well. T. C. Roberts in the character of Valere makes the lover's faux pas with skill, but in the first act he commits a dramatic faux pas as he too hastily enters the room without regarding the others properly. Even a passionate young Frenchman would not do this. In the same scene his shift to meekness is too abrupt. On the other hand, a thoroughbred Frenchman could not make a more convincing lover. Thomas Wayne Smith makes a creditable Orgon. His gestures and phrasing are humorous. He does have pronunciation difficulty. His reactions to the other characters are consistent, and the unmasked revelations to the audience could not be better. But his posture is far too stiff, nothing like that of a French nobleman. Miss Sandstrom "lives" El- fler performance is superb. Although her flirtation is in good taste she needs to di- ore equally her attention n Orgon (under the table) and Tartuffe in that scene. At all other times her performance is no less than excellent. Bill Shawn Smith, Tartuffe, fully realizes the satirical theme of hypoclrsy. The first seduction scene could be dampened In order to Illuminate the second, and Mr. Smith could very well be more seriously concerned a- bout his and Elmire's discovery by Damis. The remainder of his performance is, In short, great. Ron Williamson, the bailiff, and Wayne Vogler, the officer, each tend to lose verbal con veyance; otherwise, their performances are sufficient. Miss Josephini Niggli, director, deserves special praise for her work evident in the well acted and well cast play. Costumes are her own design. Also, to Duane Oliver Is extended special comment for his set design, rich in Its effect, yet simple enough to avoid any inharmonious contrast between stage properties. Betty Ann Berry Has Long List Of Accomplishments Topping our list of featured personalities this week is Miss Betty Ann Berry, head of the WCC cheerleading squad. Betty Ann, a Senior Elementary Edu. cation major, hails from Charlotte and is endowed with more school spirit than just about anyone else on campus. After almost four years at WCC, Betty Ann has compiled an enviable list of achievements.

This date for the annual nationwide administration of tests for prospective teachers was announced by the Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit agency which also prepares College Board and graduate school admissions tests. Scores on the National Teacher Examinations are used by many large school districts for employing new teachers, and by several states for granting teaching certificates or licenses. Western Carolina College requires all seniors preparing to teach to take the tests. Lists of school systems which use the examinations are being distributed by Educational Testing Service to colleges educating teachers. More than 400 testing centers have been set up throughout the nation for the February 15 examinations. At the full- day session, future teachers may take the Common Examinations, testing their professional knowledge and general educational background, and one or two of the 13 Optional Examinations, measuring mastery of the subjects they expect to teach. 20 Years Ago (From the WESTERN CAROLINIAN October 28, 1943) Miss Cordelia Camp was hostess to an informal :tea in Moore Parlor, Sunday afternoon, in honor of the seventeen students who are doing practice teaching this quarter. MISSES IDA JEAN ALLISON, Lela Hall, Nancy Allison, Anne Soderquist, Jean McCrac- ken, Chris Rucker, Ruth Hoop. er and Gladys Walker cooked their dinner in the student union building Tuesday evening.

Also, during her Sophomore year, she was a member of the Student Senate and was Recording Secretary of the Sophomore Class. This year Betty Ann is an alternate Senator. For the past three years, she has been active both in the Marshals Club and in Sigma Kappa Sorority. In addition to her other activities, she is working as a secretary to Head Football Coach Dan Robinson. Following graduation, Betty Ann plans (in order of importance) marriage to Larry Bur- kette and a position teaching language arts at the Junior High level. According to Betty Ann, one's best year in college is the sophomore year, because "the hardest year is over and things haven't become too serious yet. It's great to be a Senior, but suddenly you realize that time all too soon and you- r graduation." As Head Cheerleader, Betty Ann had much to say about school spirit and both football and basketball. She said, "The spirit : lOir Rhyne game was tremendous, the most I've seen at a Catamount game." About the ison: "If the as well as it did last nd, they'll do all right." :i(.'ntioned that spi; fects a team's performance to a great degree and that in that tops. With the ball season coming up, we asked Betty Ann to comment on that sport. She said, "We'll have a good season, and owing to last year's second In the N.A.I.A., spirit will be high." She appreciates the support of all the Freshmen and said that their contribution to school spirit is one of the largest ever. Betty Ann mentioned that schol spirit is what can make or break a team; she has shown all of us the tremendous spirit that helps greatly in making the Catamounts a - victorious team. Films This Week *(?Ph M & w ~F~h u Howard, Holden Top Attractions In 'The Lion' Tues. The Lion was what it was named, but this motion picture should have been called "The Beauty and the Beast" or more aptly "The Beauty is a Beast". The beauty in any case is Cap- ucine, and the whole plot, if one could call it that, is no more than the story of one woman's infidelity and the effect it has on three other lives. The three other lives belong to a great white hunter, who is brought impressively to life by Howard, the Father (William Holden) and thi child i by Pamela kiln. It seems that while the father was away, the mother made off into the bush with the great white hunter, taking the small child with her. The Father returns to the states and resumes his law practice until his wife tires of nature and calls him out to have a look at his now maturing daughter. The poor child has grown up like a wild animal, and her best friend is a lion. The lion is completely loyal and even chooses the girl over his natural instinct to take a mate. It is a pity that the great white hunter and the father could not have been so lucky. Well, when papa returns to the scene, he finds that the girl has already started making eyes at one of the locals and decides to take her home to Connecticut. Mother will not of course be separted from the darling, and the father, who never learns, finds that he is still in love with her. The great white hunter, who loved the little girl very much, goes back to the bush a sadder but wiser man. Hoey Auditorium is where THE LION is showing, and show time Is 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 5. Admission is 25*. This evening (November 1) in Hoey Auditorium 7 Women From Hell will be the main attraction. Starring with the 7 women, Patricia Owens being presuemably one of them, is latin Caesar Romero. This black and white suspense drama tells the story of seven little ladies trying to outwit their captors during World War II. You can see this one for only a quarter; it begins at 8:00 p.m. The movie featured in the Hunter Library Gallery this week is Picture of Dorian Gray. The star-studded cast includes George Sanders, Angela Lands- bury, Peter Lawford and Donna Reed. Taken from the novel by Oscar Wilde, it deals with a portrait of a young man which ages while the man stays perpetually young.

Today let us address ourselves to a question that has long rocked and roiled the academic world: Is a student better off at a small college than at a large college? To answer this question it is necessary first to define terms. What, exactly, do we mean by a small college? Well sir, some say that in order to be called truly small, a college should have an enrollment of not more than four students. I surely have no quarrel with this statement; a four-student college must unequivocally be called small. Indeed, I would even call it intime if I knew what intime meant. But I submit there is such a thing as being too small. Take, for instance, a recent unfortunate event at Crimscott A and M. Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestled between Philadelphia and Salt Lake City, was founded by Mid,etfc}(yt do ve mm Vid <M[ (clltse? A. and M. Crimscott, two brothers who left Ireland in 1625 to escape the potato famine of 1841. As a result of their foresight, the Crimscott brothers never went without potatoes for one single day of their lives—and mighty grateful they were I One night, full of gratitude after a wholesome meal of French fries, cottage fries, hash browns, and au gratin, they decided to show their appreciation to this bountiful land of potatoes by endowing a college. But their generosity contained one stipulation: the enrollment of the college must never exceed four students. They felt that only by keeping the school this small could each student be assured of the personalized attention, the camaraderie, the esprit, that is all too often lacking in larger institutions of higher learning. Well sir, things went along swimmingly until one Saturday a few years ago. On this day Crimscott had a football game scheduled against Minnesota, its traditional rival. Football, as you can well imagine, was something of a problem at Crimscott, what with only four undergraduates in the entire college. It was easy enough to muster a backfield, but to find a good line—or even a bad line—baffled some of the most resourceful coaching minds in the nation. Well sir, on the morning of the big game against Minnesota, its traditional rival, a capricious fate dealt Crimscott a cruel blow—in fact, four cruel blows. Sigafoos, the quarterback, woke up that morning with an impacted incisor. Wrichards, the slotback, flunked his taxidermy exam and was declared ineligible. Beerbohm-Tree, the wingback-tailback, got his necktie caught in his espresso machine. Yuld, the fullback, was stolen by gypsies. Consequently, none of the Crimscott team showed up at the football game, and Minnesota, its traditional rival, was able to score almost at will. Crimscott was so cross after this humiliating defeat that they immediately broke off football relations with Minnesota, its tradtional rival. This later became known as the Sacco-Vanzetti Case. So you can see how only four students might be too meagre an enrollment. The number that I personally favor is twenty. Why? you ask. Because, I reply, when you have twenty students and one of them opens a pack of Marlboro Cigarettes, there are enough to go around for everybody, and no one has to be deprived of Marlboro's flavor, of Marlboro's filter, of Marlboro's staunch and steadfast companionship, and as a result you have a student body that is brimming with sweet content and amity and harmony and concord and togetherness and soft pack and Flip-Top box. That's why. © i«b m« stuum There are twenty fine cigarettes in every pack of Marlboros, and there are millions of packs of Marlboros in every one of the fifty states of the I'nion. We, (he makers of Marlboro and the sponsors of this column, hope you will try our wares soon.
