roles of Masters and Joan in the forthcoming University Theatre pro
duction, "Joan of Lorraine."
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. The chief business on the agenda
of this year's conference will be
to adopt and put into operation a
revolving fund for building co-op
houses. This measure was pro
posed at the last conference, held
in Lincoln.
Loyd Glover of Pioneer Co-op,
now president of the Central
League, has made several trips 1) '
Kansas City to help in the estab
lishment of this loan fund, k
signed to make funds availabl; to
campus co-ops in the central s ates
who wish to buy or build hvuses.
Other schools which will be
represented at the conference are
Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Colo
rado and Baker Universities, and
the National College lor Christian
Workers.
Toynbee theatre in London. These
productions were attended by out
standing English theatre celebri
ties who offered the student actors
criticism.
Mrs. Shaw will appear before
an American audience for the first
time in "Joan of Lorraine."
Johannes as "Masters.
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. "Cherry Orchard," "My
Sister Eileen," "Girl from the
Golden West," "Macbeth," "Thun
der Rock," and "Silver Cord ' all
have given Johannes opportuni
ties to display his histrionic tal
ents. In the Circlet Theatre he
has been seen in "Murder With
out Crime," "Springtime for
Henry," "The Male Animal," and
"Outward Bound."
In a statement to The Daily Ne
braskan, Johannes said that
"Joan of Lorraine' is important
today because it deals with such
problems as individual faith and
compromises with evil or dishon
est forces."

rious points where needed.
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.
