Theater Gives Ghost Play,
'The Lady Who Came to Stay9
Climaxing a well balanced sea
son of comedy and drama, the
University Theater, under the di
rection of Berne W. Enslin, opens
this week with "The Lady Who
Came to Stay." a ghost play by
Kenneth White.
The story centers around three
miserable spinster sisters who
have voluntarily imprisoned them
selves in a sinister and sunless old
mansion of the Victorian era. The
youngest is starved to despair
for companionship, the next is
coolly arrogant and cruel, and the
eldest of the three is a witch-like

character filled to the brim with
the venom of hate.
The brother of the three has
married against the wishes of the
sisters, and now that he is doad.
his wife and daughter are living
in this house of hate. The eldest
seeks to revenge the marriage by
mistreating the wife, who is driven
to her grave by constant torture,
leaving the young daughter, the
or.ly sy.ark of life in this house of
gloom, alone to face the horror of
living with her aunts.
After the eldest sister is mys
treiously taken to the spirit world,
she and the girls mother haunt
the house; one to carry on her
persecution, the other to circum
vent these diabolical plottings.
The daughter escapes, but her
little brother is forced to replace
her, and he. in turn, is subjected
to torture. Building in momentum
from the rise of the first curtain.
the play reaches a breath-taking
climax in the last scene.
Last Scene Excels.
Not only is "The Lady Who
Came to Stay" intense psycho
logical horror stuff which affords
great opportunity for character
study on the parts of the actors,
but the wind, thunder, lightning
and fire in the last scene make it
a marvel of technical skill.
The cast of characters include
Joan McCagiie as Katherine, Betty
Rhodes as Emma and Blanche
Duckworth and Jean Kinnie as
Sadie. Millie will be played by
Barbara Berggren, with Jo Weaver
Kline as Phoebe. Dorothy James
will appear as Ann, Jeanne Racine
as Roger and Bill Major in the
double, role of the doctor and Roy.
The play opens Wednesday eve
ning at 8 p. m. at the Temple the
ater," and will run thru Saturday.

Crime Note: The biggest rob
bery in the history of Massachu
setts State College recently de
prived State students of $400 in
rash plus ration coupons and
iewclry. The one light note in th
otherwise tragic affair was the
case of the cood who had just
washed her hair when she discov
ered the burglar lor burglars) had
walked off with her bobby pin
case!
2 to 4:30 Saturday afternoon.
Prior to this time only a few fac
ulty members and students have
inspected the structure.
Of Georgian style, the building
is made of a light colored brick to
harmonize with surrounding build
ings. There are eight large pilas
ters of white limestone across the
front, complementing the while
trim of the structure.
Planned for Girls.
Since the building is essentially
for women, the interior has been
made as feminine in detail as pos
sible. 'Floor coverings are of light
asphalt tile in two shades of
grayed pink and the woodwork is
blond birch and light grayed oak.
The color of the floor is repeated
in the pinkish terrazo stairway
with a delicate metal railing. The
walls will be painted in various
light pastel shades.
Food service facilities take up
the greater part of the first floor
area. The public cafeteria, and
dining room with a soft drink
fountain at one end of the room
are located here as are an ad
joining tea room and a private din
ing room and small kitchen for
dinner meetings. The large tiled
kitchens and enclosed garbage and
dishwashing rooms occupy the
west side of first floor. A stu
dent lounge is also located on this
floor.
The outstanding feature of the
second floor are two suites of
rooms, including kitchen, dining
room and small lounge. The suites,
complete with doorbells, will be
used by the classes in meal serv
ice. The main reception office,
faculty offices and two student
foods laboratorys are also on the
second floor.
Research on Third.
Third floor will house the equip
ment for the foods and nutrition
research staff. This includes six
research labs as well as a metab
olism room. A large lecture au
ditorium is also on this level.
The only unfinished portion of
the building is the north half of
the basement which has been re
served for student recreation fa
cilities. This area has been ex
cavated and cemented and will
be completed as soon as possible,
according to present plans. Here
will be found a lounge ping pong
room, for quiet games, book nook,
a small committee room and a
cloak room. The south half of the
basement is in storage space.
When asked when the building
would be open for student use.
Miss Margaret Fedde, head of
the department, said that it will
be impossible for the structure to
be put to the use for which it was
intended until suitablet equipment
can be purchased. Difficulties are
being encountered at this time.
"It is hoped that the research
staff may occupy the space on
third floor sometime this spring
or early summer," Miss Fedde
added.
In commenting upon the condi
tion in which the building w as
found when turned back to the
university upon the removal of the
STAR unit from the campus, Miss
Fedde commented. "The walls will
have to ho repainted and a small
amount of refinishing of wood
work will have to be done. The
building was left in quite good
condition, considering that almost
10,000 men went through it in one
year."
