TODAY'S WEATHER: FAIR AND COLD VOL. 51— No. 69 Audience Applauds Antigone And Star By ROSEMARY DELAHANTY • As the audience in Schwab auditorium last night gave its whole hearted approval to “Antigone,” few of them realized that the star of the play, Anne Wahl Grant, is appearing in her last Players’ pro duction. After the play, Mrs. Grant, married recently, commented, “I’m grateful for the privilege of being able to work in Greek tragedy and I’m certainly sorry this is my last show.” " Campus theater-goers aren’t exactly glad either, because the applause for “Antigone” was loud enough and long enough to indi cate that the clearly - outlined tragedy, presented on a bare stage, is as timely and emotion ally satisfying now as it was 2300 years ago.

Actually, the play might be called a psychological study of “Creon.” “Antigone’s” fate, for which he is responsible, starts the chain of events which bring about his eventual remorse. Tens# A Few Minutes In the supporting roles, Joada Oswalt as “Ismene” is tense and over-dramatic for a few minutes, but soon becomes convincing as the sister who wants to die with “Antigone.” , Donald Colbert as “Haemon,” after an uninspired half dozen lines, does some eloquent plead ing for “Antigone,” while Helen Jaskol as the queen, “Eurydice,” (Continued on page two) Publications Make 2nd Term Move-ups Promotions for the second semester have been announced by La Vie, Penn State Farmer, the Ag Hill Breeze, and the Independent.
