March 23, 1978 Tim Nominated by Sheri Reim Collegian Staff Writer “I’m kinda naive. What do you do at an audition?” That line may not be as famous as Shakespeare’s “To be or not to be,” but the impact of the words are the same. For sophomore Timothy Baum, it was the beginning of a successful theatrical career. He has recently been nominated for the Irene Ryan Scholarship for his role as Mark in the Behrend Players’ fall production, “Kennedy’s Children.” The scholarship offers the student the chance to com pete against over forty other students for a $5OO grant to be put toward any classes to study the arts. Upon winning the Ryan Scholarship, the student is also given the opportunity to audition Civilisation Reaches Behrend The television film series, Civilisation, will be shown throughout the spring term on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. in the Reed Lecture Hall. Sir Kenneth Clark, a famed art historian, prepared the series which gives the viewer an interesting glimpse into the development of western Pianist by Robin Baulding Entertainment Editor Priscilla Fullerton, a piano soloist from Edinboro, gave a remarkable recital here at Behrend, Monday, March 20. She performed Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata in C Minor; Beethoven’s Sonanta in F sharp, opus 78, Allegro ma non troppo, Allegro vivace; and Chopin’s Barcarolle, opus 60. After a brief intermission she performed Claude Debussy’s Images, Reflections on the Water, Homage to Remeau, and she also did the classicist-romanticist Johannes Brahms Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Handed, opus 24, Aria (from suites de Pieces pur Ie clavecin), Variations 1-XXV and Fugue. Mrs. Fullerton’s recital provided an excellent sample of “classical” music for music appreciation students and other devotees. She played selections from three musical periods: baroque, classical and romantic. She took full advantage of the piano’s dynamics in Beethoven’s piece. .Mrs. Fullerton has been playing the piano since the age of three and has been playing ever since—thirty-three years. Those of us who attended would like to express our sincere ap preciation to Dean Lane for in viting Mrs. Fullerton to Behrend. 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Good Friday Ecster Sunday SGA coll for 78-79 Lost day to file Pass- Crafts Workshop, Tennis: Allegheny, Movie: "Wizords", Budgets: All Student Foil or Course Repeat RUB Seminar Room, Away, 3 p.m. « (Animated).

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for an additional $2,000 award. Winning the award is an impressive achievement, but just being nominated for the Irene Ryan Scholarship is an honor. Competition for the scholarship was held at sunny Fredonia State College during a four day workshop sponsored by the American College Theatre Festival (ACTF). Each con testant was required to do a three minute piece from a play of his choice. Baum combined a soliloquy from “Kennedy’s Children” with a duet he per formed as Stanley with Greg Johnson (McCann) in last year’s production, ‘.‘Birthday Party.” While at the seminar, Baum attended workshops based on directing, costume, and make-up.

Brown portrayed Mark Twain so well that he practically had the audience falling out of their seats. Scott was dressed in a cream color suit and a red tie, reminiscent of Twain’s day; he lit up a cigar every time the previous one was half smoked. His use of nonverbal gestures and a rasping, loud voice made one feel that the man was actually Mark Twain resurrected. His use of memory lapses, and slowly extending his arm to emphasize a point suggested his old age. He looked into the audience with piercing eyes to transport them into his world. His dynamic voice kept the audience’s attention. Some of the lines that drew tears of laughter from the audience were. “Mrs. Jef ferson .. . she had a glass eye. She used to lend it to Flora Ann Baxter. Flora Ann didn’t have any to receive company with. “Metamorphosis:” Mark Twain unmasks himself. See series of pictures below. Photos by Robin Baulding JOHNSTON CAMERAS Flora Ann was excavated out for a number four. (Mrs. Jefferson’s glass eye was a number seven). It didn’t fit her. Why everytime she’d blink, it would roll over.” The audience burst out with laughter. “ ... (When) she’d leap forward to make a point, that ol’ eyeball dropped right out.” The audience roared again. He amazed members _>f the audience with his memory of all the anecdotes and jokes. His gestures and humorous jokes created an atmosphere of verisimilitude, giving the im pression that Mark Twain . was really at Behrend. In addition to his fame as an author, Twain was a celebrated humorous public speaker. Scott said that he had done extensive research on Twain’s lecture appearances. Scott seeks to create the atmosphere of Twain’s appearances. Indeed, it is evident from the reaction of the audiences that he succeeds. Scott took theater courses at Oberlin College in Ohio. He has been portraying Mark Twain since the age of fourteen; presently, he is twenty-two. 459-8177 Mon-Fri. 9-9 Tues., Wed. 9-9 Sat. 9-5 Page Three
