136 stage seats left. This; we believe; means that
-i)o stage seats were sold. We Would alindst stake
our mathematical reputation on it. .
Just what are the reasons fOr this lack of desire
to Sit Oh the stage we can not be sure. Fapulty
5,-.ives and coeds tit those-than-average attractive

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Players Present Christmas Gift
To College With Hit Performance
By ROBERT H. LANE
One of the finest Christmas
presents Penn State could ever
hope to receive was presented to
lovers of the footlights in Schwab
Auditorium last night when the
Penn State Players jumped the
Christmas gun by 20 days with a
blue-ribbon performance of Le
nore Coffee's and - William Cow%
en's "Family Portrait."
To compliment a production by
saying it is dtherent would be
following in the steps, of any pub
licity man who is trying to fill a
theater for a below-par produc
tion, but this time a reviewer can
label a play, "exceedingly differ
ent." .
One cannot go back into history
and say Mrs. Lucetta kennedy
gave the; best performance ever
seen on a Penn State stage,. but
even the most skeptical could not
I efrainfrom saying it was one of
the finest.
Playing the part of Malt, the
mother of Jesus; Mrs. kentledy was
superb. It W6S the old story of
any mother's Idire for hir son, but
this time the son hgd hien. cruci
fied.
Ari actress is pften carried away
by but ,iVnen she carries
the ai.idiAice with her, there is risi.
greater. th"Vdi•d. As the mother of
-.l6.idg; IVlrs. Kennedy did just that.
the skepticism of his four
bitittieis who. could not conceive
hiin as
.ahythiug IS4 a — cdrpepter.
Eioivard dtiliEnhe'tnine,r;, Philip
tietioliz; Carroll iiitiiSetigteel and
William Cissel mined 111 splendid
PerioithanceS as 5P..4,P . 11, Simon,
JaMeS arid Judah, respectively.
Joanne Palmer, as the easy-go
ing Mary Cleophas, Mary's sister
in-law, handled her cleVerly
worded lines perfection.
• .
In the role of an outcast who
was resurrected from sin, Aimee
Sabbott was. well cast as Mary
Magdalen.
Because of the large cast of 42
players, one of the largest in his
tory of the Players, space limits
the bouquets, that can be tossed
fer fine acting, but hcinbrable
mention can be given to Civia
Cohen, Elinor Herrman, Ruth
Wachs; Marion ReynoldS, Mal
colm WeinStein,,Jjahn Fritz; then
di)re. Vrinteluirst; Lois Reisinger,
Ectifin Carson. and Mary Roberts.
And last but tritely etiOugh, far
• a
from least, hearty congratulationaio
to Professor and Director Frank
S. Neusbaum whi) may sdnieday
recall
,"Family Portrait" as the
best production he ever directed
on this caMpus.
