Product of 100 Years
"In a very re& sense they are
a product of a century of service
Methodists have given to India, a
milestone reached in October
1956," explained the Rev. Richard
W. Nutt, of the Methodist church
and a member of the committee

He said that typical of young
India today, the choir members
bring a variety of interests and
talent, from football to classical
dance. from business administra

economics, a nursery education
and political science.

strongly react to the quickly
paced events, such as when Miss
Risler reveals her infatuation for
him, he hardly reacts beyond a
few facial quirks and small arm
movements. One would like to
see him picture the disgust he
must be feeling instead of letting
the audience practically imagine
what he feels.
This seems to be a common
fault of the rest of the cast--
body and facial movements in
the ultra-norm, as befits this type
of play, seem lacking much of
the time. This fault must be at
tributed to the director, Miss Ris
ler, who seemed to concentrate so
much upon her part, she couldn't
devote too much time to the oth
ers in the cast.
David Thompson has a power
ful voice and as Theremenes, the
friend and servant of Tayler,
comes out third in lending cone
viction to his part. Preceding him
are Miss Risler and Gore. His big
scene, which comes off very well,
is when he excitingly describes
the death of Taylor.
