O'Nejll Tragedy
Wednesday evening at 8 p. m.,
Eugene O'Neill moves into the
Temple Theatre for a four-performance
visit. "Beyond the
Horizon," prize-winning tragedy,
will play to audiences through
Saturday night. Max Whittaker
handles director's chores.
One of the reasons for the
drama's complexity is the pro
blem that is presented by the
need for set-agins, especially in
the farm-house scenes.
Stated Technical Director,
Robert Black, "A contrast must
be shown between prosperity and
poverty. We have handled this
by changing many items; the
white tablecloth becomes soiled
oilcloth, the once neat curtains
appear bedraggled, the previous
ly straight pictures on the wall
are tilted, and the lightning in
general is transferred from
warmth to coldness."
Aside from the above, other
contrasts 'are presented in "Be
yond . the Horizon" termed by
critics, "a play of stirring char
acterizations," the drama en
compasses a set of powerfully
engraved character contrasts.
McCullough Main Character.
-Events revolve around Robert
Mayo, portrayed by Eddie Mc
C o 1 1 o u g h. In McCollough's
words, "Robert is a very im
practical dreamer who has
dreams to travel. However, love
enters and overshadows his
dreams.
His brother Andy, on the other
hand, played by Jack Norman, is
a direct opposite. Stated Nor
man, "In the play, I represent
the direct opposite of Robert. I
can't see his idealistic nature and
he can't understand my realistic
views. Yet, through all these
differences, a strong fraternal
bond links us together."
Jane MacCuaig. on portraying
Ruth Atkins, the 90 degree angle
in the drama's eternal triangle,
commented, "I play a shallaw
unsympathetic, jealous girl,
caught in the web of circum
stance." Director Whittaker has stated

'Screen Tours1
Will Present
Wildlife Film
"From Coast to Crest" will be
the second in a series of Audubon
Screen tours shown in the Love
Memorial Library auditorium Nov.
17, at 8 p. m. The all-color film
is a lecture by Alexander Sprunt,
Jr., combining bird and scenic
photography.
Sprunt has been active in field
investigations for the National
Audubon Society since 1934. His
main interests have been wildlife
and the problems of conservation.
The films he uses have been taken
by some of the country's foremost
natural science photographers.
Beginning on the Gulf Coast
of Texas, the film pictures such
rare birds as the snowy egrets
and oyster-catchers as they live
a protected life in a natural
habitat. From Texas the film
journey is inland to the Navajos
in Arizona. Here desert flowers
and snow-capped mountains
make a background for the life
of the Navajos and their sheep.
Through the Grand Canyon,
Colorado's Mesa Verde, and
Wyoming's Grand Tetons the
trip continues from "Coast to
Crest" and ends at Yellowstone
National park.
The Audubon Screen tours are
sponsored by the University Ex
tension Diision and the State
Museum. They are offered in
the interest of wildlife protec
tion, wise use of natural re
sources and conservation educa
tion. Tickets are priced at 60
cents and may be obtained at the
Bureau of Audio-Visual Instruc
tion, Extension Division.
