SHOW TO FEATURE
NOVEL STAGE SETS
Thespian Production Will Include
10 Changes of Costumes,
7 Scenery Themes
With seven complete changes of'
scenery, and ten changes of costumes,
“Old King Cole,” to be produced by
the Thespians on the week-end of In
terfraternity Ball, will also feature
novel stage sots.
Sceneric design is in charge of Da
vid H. Porterfield ’24, and Kenneth L.
Holderman ’3l. The "travelers” cur
tain, portraying “Old King Cole and
his Fiddlers Three,” is of Porterfield’s
design and execution. This curtain
will appear between most of the
scenes as the central theme of the
show.
Porterfield, who has been promin
ent in Thespian stagecraft since his
undergraduate days, has made the de
signs for each of the ten different
costumes used. Isabel L. Rhein '34,
and Jane Vial ’34 arc supervising the
execution of all costumes.
Costumes Designed
Among the costume wardrobe will
bo a complete women’s evening attire.
A jersey skirt and blouse combination
is one change, while a rainbow cos
tume is another. All phases of cos
tume design, such as hats, and other
matched apparel, are being done by
Porterfield;
A speakeasy scene, done in brilliant
red and silver, presents every detail
of the modern saloon. A more vivid
scene, said to be the most elaborate
one ever designed for use here, is the
“Charity Ball” scene. Hotel scenes,
a room and a lobby form much.of
the background for the production.
All production work is being done
at the old. “Pastime Theatre,” located
in the alleyway between College,and
Beaver avenues. This long-abandon
ed theatre has been refitted for the
making of scenery, and will be used
by Thespian craftsmen in the future.
