Studio Theatre begins classic,
American melodrama
University Relations--The
destructive power of deceit will
come dramatically to life in the
Behrend Studio Theatre produc
tion of Lillian Hellman's "The
Children's Hour" April 18, 19
and 24-27.
A classic American melodrama,
"The Children's Hour" deals
with the lives of two women who
run a boarding school for girls.
When one of their students cir
culates a malicious rumor about
their affections for each other,
tragedy results.
Controversial when first per
formed in the 1930'5, the play
went on to establish Hellman as a
major modern American
playwright. It ran for 691 perfor
mances on Broadway.
"I think 'The Children's Hour'
is a very thought-provoking
play," says Tony Elliot, Behrend
Studio Theatre director and
theatre instructor. "It's the kind
of play where the audience is like

ways, resulting in heat stroke,
heat cramps, or heat exhaustion.

cessive heat causes the body's
sweating mechanism to be
blocked.

degrees or above
--The skin is hot, red, and dry
--The pulse is rapid and strong
—Victim may be unconscious
--Heat stroke is a life
threatening problem and im
mediate measure should be taken
to cool the body
--Songe the bare skin with cool
water, apply cold packs con
tinuously, or place in a tub of cold
water (do- not add ice) until body
temperature is down to 102
degrees. Take care not to overchill

Behrend student and first-time
Behrend Studio Theatre actress
Gail Reese, of North East, plays
school teacher Karen Wright, one
of the lead roles.
"The play has everything from
light scenes with humorous sar
casm to very serious scenes where
the audience may want to cry. It's
an extremely emotional perfor
mance that draws the audience in
to the characters' emotions," says
Reese.
Playing opposite Reese as
school teacher Martha Dobie is
Susie Jalosky, a Behrend com
munications studies major from
Oil City who also is a Behrend
Theatre newcomer.
"The small setting of the
Behrend Studio Theatre allows
for more communications bet
ween the actors and the audience,
which will see the full develop
ment of the characters," she says.
"It's melodrama at its best."

Heat Exhaustion occurs when
there is an excess loss of body
fluids due to sweating and lack of
appropriate fluid intake. The
pooling of blood in the capllaries
interferes with blood circulation
to vital organs.

clammy
