A Word of Thanks In closing the books on Summer Collegian, 1949, we would be remiss in ignoring those many people who, directly or indirectly, have contributed to any moderate degree of success we may have attained. FIRST of all, a comradely bow of appreciation to the staff, both editorial and business, who have slaved manfully through seven issues with little more than the will to work and an unbelievable ability to die up news from nowhere, and transfer it to paper in extraordinarily intelligible fashion. Second, to the Department of Public Informa tion, a debt of gratitude we can never repay, for we have been aided by them to an extent that only we know, and at which they can only guess. THIRD, a warm handshake to the Summer Sessions office, especially to John E. Miller, ad ministrative assistant, for valuable information concerning doings on campus, and phases of summer activity which would normally have escaped us. Fourth, a bouquet to Miss Mary Jane Wyland, coordinator of the Pennsylvania Workshop in Education, for access to material about speakers, and, incidentally, for a fine slate of inspiring and thought-provoking lecturers. FIFTH, to all those who haven't been men tioned, including our subscribers, advertisers, Linotype operators, printers, etc., our deepest thanks for making a hard job much, much easier. 'Blithe spirit,. Ccrntinesed front page one With two bickering ghosts on his hands, Charles seeks Madame Arcati's help in dematerializing the offenders. But even though the girls by this time share the opinion that the world beyond would be more agreeable, no chants or incantations can whisk them away. At long last a psychic maid comes to the rescue and Charles has his peace, but not before the now invisible wives, bitter in losing their man, do a little house- breaking. HI THE HOLE of the abused, and amusing, Charles, Warren Smith of the College dramatic staff proves that he has acting as well as direc tive ability. However, his characterization is hin dered by an excess of facial distortion and an artificiality of manner and speech. This is pointed up ail the more by the extreme naturalness of most of the other portrayals, but is substantially offset by an admirable adaptiveness to the stage and to situations. Charlotte White, as Ruth, delivers another of her witty Eve Aden-ish portrayals, remarkable for a fine sense of timing and grace, but tinged with a slight slurring of words. In the role of the ethereal Elvwa, Jane Staus is perhaps too much the ingenue, an effect increased by filmy pink costuming. But Mess States is enjoyable in almost arry pert, mostly for her apparent sincerity and indomitable vitality. PLATING THE ROLE to the halt, Francine Toll display her versatility once again as the stomp ing, lavender-stockinged Madame Arcati. Al though overdoing the part a trifle, Miss Toll ob viously had the audience under her spell, perhaps because of near-perfect diction. June Williams as the Cockney heroine-maid provides another farcical touch. In the parts of Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, for whom there doesn't seem to be much need in the play, Prof. James Gemmell and Anne Wahl are more than adequate. Special attention should be drawn to especially tasteful furnishings, and near-miraculous antics of the furniture as the ghosts vent their wrath close to the final curtain.
