This se for their first play, they hay ..again entered the world of th super -natural with "Blithe S rit Noel Cor - ward's play ab ut the dead re- turning to haunt the living. In presenting 'Spirit', the Players have probably chosen the most interesting play to date, the story .of a man torn between two , loves --that of his present wife, and that of his former wife who hasbeen dead for seven years. The play takes place in Eng- land, where mediums, seances and witches are still, supposed- ly, in existence. Each mem- ber of the comparatively small • cast of seven, has a fairly im- portant role, and the Players handled them well, considering that they are not full-time act - RUBBER:.

They began w e a k l y, barley audible at tunes and - many of them unsure of them- selves. The audience was not helping, though, 'as latecomers were scrambling for seats and making. noise that must have been very'distracting to those on stage. The cast did gain strength as the, play continued, becoming more involved with their roles as the audience be- came more involved. As the male lead, Les Arm- strong was one of the reasons for Lmak beginning. His words w.-ndistinct, his ac- tions unsure. But he was also one of the reasons the play im- proved, as he came alive with each, speech and performed well to the end. He seemed to be having a few problems with his lines, but he had .a large role which would have kept .a pro on his toes. And after all, any red-blooded male would get a 'bit rattled sharing his house with two lovely ghosts! Diane, Thomps ort as the liv- ing (for awhile) wife, also had a large role and did well witlr, it. Occasionally, her words too; were garbled and hard to under- stand, and she appeared new pus and tense, not knowing what to do with her hands, etc. when the script did not neces- sarily call for this type of act- ing. Kaye Swan was pleasing as the dead wife, with makeup and costuming adding greatly to her performance, Kay Smith played Madame Arcati, the scatterbrainish med- ium, and she was like a brea_ th of fresh air every time sh e 1.1 breezed on stage. Whether sh,4 was rejoicing at her achieve- ment of producing a ghost, re- buking her hostess for calling 'her a fake, `oz drifting into a trance, it seemed she. W A S • Madame Arcati; and each'word she uttered was clear °and dis- tinct„ Those in more minor roles- John Munroe and Janetta Mus- tard as Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, and Shirley Bell as the maid Edith, were •all•l adequate --Shu- ley at times, rating more than that opinion. There was, it seemed to me, too much un- t, necessary prompting from aloud voice off-stage, but perhaps by experience they had learned it was not unnecessary. If the production could be improved upon, it would be by. cutting it shorter, by many minutes. Were those long waits between scenes really neces- sary' They badly mutilated tither continuity or the play, and `•' helped to make, restless aud- ience. Generally, though, director Margaret Webster and the Play- ers gave us a fine evening's en- tertainment and started th e group on• what we hope will be a successful, rewarding season. New members have been adder( to the group this year, and we know they will find it exhilerat- ing to be part of this ambitious organization. Best of luck on your new season, gang!
