Bare Settings Highlight UN Joan of Lorraine Production "Seeing 'Joan of Lorraine is like watching a New York stage rehearsal," Walt Davis, light man ager for the University Theatre's forthcoming production, said in a backstage interview Tuesday. "The properties used include just the bare necessities. The cur tain is pulled only three times at the beginning, end of the first act, and at the end of the play." Play a Rehearsal. The explanation of the uncon ventional setting is simply that the story of the play is centered around a New York rehearsal of a play dealing with the life of Joan of Lorraine. The play that the audience sees is made up of rehearsals of the play-within -a-play and controversial discussions regarding the philosophy that Joan of Lorraine might have had. One of the most important as pects to the staging of "Joan . . . is the lighting. Since there is a bare minimum of settings and properties the centering of audi ence interest must be done by spot-lighting certain areas while dimming out others. Stat e Darkened. ' Probably one of the most ef fective scenes is the one of Joan in the prison. On a completely darkened stage, Joan is made vis ible by only a light streaming through the prison bars upon her. A brighter light would reveal that in actuality "Joan" is Mrs. Norman Shaw, a new player upon the University Theatre stage, bringing a great deal of talent with her from her former home, London, England. Acted in London. Before going into the Ministry of War to serve England during the war years, Mrs. Shaw did dra matic work in London, participat ing in such plays as Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" and Shakespeare's "As You Like It" which were presented in the Co-ops to Send Representatives To Convention Delegations from Pioneer and Brown Palace co-operatives head ed by Tony St. John and Earl Dyer, will attend the conference of their regional organization, the Central League of Campus Co-ops, at Kansas University this week end.

Playing the part of Masters, the director of the play, is Don Jo hannes, teachers college junior. Johannes has been seen on Lin coln's Circlet Theatre stage almost as much as at the University Theatre.

In the Circlet Theatre he has been seen in "Murder With out Crime," "Springtime for Henry," "The Male Animal," and "Outward Bound."

The All University Fund (AUF) planning committee chose Moni Pendeli as the project for the Uni versity. A World Student Relief news letter Tvoentiy described hew the relief center is run as a prevento rium for students threatened by tuberculosis. Four hundred and twenty students annually stay at Moni Fendeli to attempt to regain their health. In reporting last year's activi ties the letter stated, "Every pos sible effort was made for the sup plementary feeding of weak stu dents who were in urgent need of better nourishment due to the in sufficient feeding and hardships they suffered during the occupa tion. It is necessary to mention that 24 of the students had suf fered from pleurisy, 50 from ad enoids, 40 from erythema, and the nervous system of almost every student was not in a good state." Yesterday Miss Noerenberg re ceived a letter from a World Stu dent Relief delegate to Greece, Robrt J. Fairgraves, who tells of Moni Pendeli as a "mountain about a half hour drive from Ath ens. Athenians love it in the sum mer because no matter how hot Athens may be there is always a breeze sweeping in from the sea." Regarding the student life, he said, "The daily program is very simple. Breakfast, flag raising, then rest. Lunch, rest, tea and perhaps a short walk or other light exercise, supper always fol lowed by singing and conversa tion around the tables, and then taps .... life is very simple, but very healthy, and by the end of the month the girls have not only gained some strength but have made good and lasting friend ships." Pendeli is the only prevento rium in Greece for university stu dents. Statstics show that girls spending one month at Pendeli gain on the average of from 2 to 12 pounds.
