oman of Chaillot' Brings
of Fantasy to Campus
in a world as mad as ours, sanity may be the possession
of the insane rather than the sane.
Countess Aurelia, or the Mad
woman of Chaillot, and her three
daffy friends, the Madwomen of
Passy, St. Sulpice and La Con
corde, speak although irrationally,
with the sweet voice of reason.
The Countess lives by her il
lusions, and allows others to en
joy their own illusions. For in
stance, her friend, the Madwoman
of Passy, prefers to think that
her dead dog, Dickie, is still alive.
The Countess is willing to pretend
that Dickie is present,begging for
attention or pleading to jump up
into someone's lap (although he is
as invisible as Harvey, the 6-foot
white rabbit).
Reads Same Newspaper
Likewise, the Countess solves
the problem of reading the de
pressing news of the day by al
ways reading the same old faded
newspaper. The paper she reads
was chosen because, instead of
frightening her with all the news
that's fit to print, it brings her
only stories which she finds pleas
' ant and cheerful.
The works of the author, Jean
Giraudoux, according to Dr. Lau
rent LaSage, professor of romance
' languages, in an article contained
in the original Broadway play
program, contain no separation
between reality and fantasy.
Won Drama Award

was the first of Giraudoux's works(
which brought him American;
recognition. In 1948-49 it was'
awarded the New York Drama
Critic's Circle Award for the best
play written by a foreign author,
and presented in New York.
"The Madwoman" was written'
in 1943 and was Giraudoux's at
tempt to restore the graciousness'
and beauty of an earlier day and
to rescue the world from those
who were trying to destroy the
charm of life.
Included in the Players' pre

Schnelle, the Madwoman of Chail
