STATE. COLLEGE 7617-
By CHIZ MATHIAS
for a' six-week run.
In a small Italian, town prior
to World War I a grou - P•'of town
gossips gathers to bare the truth
about the paSt of a town official.
They 'suspect one of two charac
ters is insane. But which one?
Each presents a logical biography
contradicting the related past of
the other. The play concerns the
search to determine which char
acter is lying.
Players are using a script trans
lated from the original Italian by
Eric Bentley, theatrical director.
In translating "Naked Masks'-! and
other plays by the Nobel Prize
winning playwright, Bentley' has
contributed a revival of Pirandello
to the American stage.
, • Revived Last Year
Famous during the twenties for
his philOsophic play, "Six Char
acters In Search of An Author"
which starred Florence Eldridge,
and - "As You Desire Me," which
Hollywood bought for Greta Gar
bo, Pirandello was suddenly ig
nored by American audiences for
three decades.
Bentley's revival of "Right You
Are" with Mildred Dunnock
opened at the Brattle Theater in
Cambridge; Mass., in March, 1952
and returned Pirandello to na
tional theatrical prominence.
Smith chose the play for a
Player production because he has
alWays been fascinated by the
techniques of the Sicilian play
wright. He has always wanted to
do another Pirandello production
since he first directed "Right You
Are" back in 1941 with a high
school faculty group in Bangor.
Pirandello is a • curious mixture
of theater, Smith said. He never
answers the questions, but inti
mates that truth is arrived' at
through a means of living.
Group Scenes
"Right You Are" is a tragedy
within a comedy demanding two
styles of acting from two distinct
character levels. One group must
play tragedy "deprofundis. ' The
other group must lose itself in
Classic comedy of the bawdy,
French sort. Through an outra
geous clash of the two, Pirandello
tries to say that we all live in a
world of fantasy governed by a
triumph of the imagination over
the facts.
In this clash of temperaments,
Players will use group scenes for
the first time at Center Stage.
Fourteen characters - mill around
the arena stage in the final scene
expounding the whims, irony, and
philosophy of Pirandello.
Smith has anounced changes in
the original cast Kaye Vinson
will alternate with Morton Sla
koff in the role of the governor.
Rochelle Zinger will play Signora
Cirri, and Michael DiMuzio has
replaced John' Yeatman as the
butler.

Alpha Omicron Pi recently en

ment was provided by the pledge

'Famous 500' Broke
No-Frosh Tradition
A class with a reverse ratio of 500 to none, a class in which
everyone knows everyone.else, a class run entirely by women!
Sounds fantastic, impossible!
Fantastic as it may seem, that is the story of Penn State's "famous
500" and their first year on campus.
Following World War 11, all freshmen were farmed out to centers
throughout the state. But, in the
fall of 1949, this system was
smashed by 500 frosh coeds who
took over Atherton Hall, lock,
stock, and housemothers.
First Year For Green Bows
The lucky women, selected for
this opportunity because of out
standing high school records,
found the campus, male half at
least, ready to greet them with
open arms. As one coed describes
it, "Atherton looked more like
Grand Central on a Saturday
night."
Nineteen forty-nine was the
first year for the little green bows
to bloom on campus. At this time,
customs were enforced to the point
where most of the women crawled
around on their knees rather than
curtsey every two feet.
With a block of 500 babbling
women, there were, no complaints
about frosh cheering at football
games that year. The spirit ran
so high that during one half-time
the women aided the band in a
demonstration on the field.
Women Class Officers
• Although more than half of the
famous 500 have left Penn State
for careers, marriage, or to trans
fer to other schools, a list of the
217 who returned in September
reads like "Who's in the News."

Joan Hutchon, WSGA president
and "second prettiest school teach
er in the U.S."; Vivian Peterson,
Leonides president; Yvonne Car
ter, president of Mortar Board;
and Marion Whitely, president of
the Education Student Council.
Although the women were re
stricted in many of their activi
ties, under Miss Whitely as pres
ident, Joan Yerger as vice pres
ident, and Lucy Barr as secretary
treasurer, the "elite" carried on
all class traditions. They started
off the year with a class dance,
a "Sadie Hawkins Day" party in
Rec Hall.
Some of the "famous 500" were
January graduates, the rest will
be graduated in June. All that
remains will be a few fond mem
ories. While it was a hectic year,
most of the "famous 500" agree
"it was the best of the four years
at - Penn State."
Mr. Robert Flipse will be guest
speaker at Roger Williams Fellow
ship meeting beginning at 5 p.m.
tomorrow with a student supper.
She will read selections from "The
Terrible Meek."
