SUMMER COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA During a break in rehearsal for "Streetcar Named Desire," the current showing at Standing Stone, Esther Benson told of an experience which members of the cast "enjoyed" at the play house during a previous season. While performing a mystery, in which dead bodies fell from be hind secret panels in the wall a member of the audience sudden ly arose and taking her child by the hand led her across the stage and out the door to the young ladies room. A few minutes later, as the action and tension increased on stage, one of the secret panels suddenly swung open—to the dismay of the performers—and the woman blithely led her child back to her seat. And just think, the audience doesn't always like the way the actors act. Comments about the theatre will be welcomed and anyone interested should write to Jay Rake, The Summer Collegian, Carnegie Hall.
