zona came to Texas for her final
showdown against three top chal-

broken and bleeding. With two
to one losses under her belt she
began preparation for a hot re

The Pokes had- only to whip

crown when they loft for that

tide turned however and swept
her far off course with losses of

with Tempe the following night.
H-SU recovered her footing in the
final game of the trio by skim-

. Penthouse Theater the new
little theater in Abilene Hall
room 202 will boiuscd for its first
major production this spring. This
new theater was completed last
summer with the installation of
permanent theatrical lighting
drapes and risers. This novel
theater which is used for experi-
mental plays was designed by
Richard OBrlcn president of
Players assisted by Robert O'-
Brien and Dr. Kathcrinc Boyd
chairman of H-SU speech depart-
ment The first major production to
be presented in Penthouse Thea-
ter will be Candida by George
Bernard Shaw. The production
will be produced "in-thc-round"
the same style used by Margo
Jones in the Dallas Theater this
year. The play goes on in the
center of the room with the au-
dience seated on four sides.
Of the play Dr. Boyd said "I
believe that It gives the promise
of being one of the best plays
produced here in years. It is a
brilliant play the best script
we've ever used and we have a
brilliant cast"
The play will be produced six
nights March 20 21 23 27 28
and 30. All scats reserved .50 and
.75 cents.
Candida is one of the classics
of modern comedy and is recog-
nized as the most remarkable
character play that Shaw ever
wrote. Candida is considered the
most attractive woman in the
modern theater and. the part most
loved by actresses. It was first
created on Broadway by Kather-
ine Cornell. The story is about a
woman who undcrstnads men
without letting the men know
that she does.
The conflict grows out of the
fact that Candida who is married
to a very successful and popular
preacher of London has attracted
a penniless young poet fifteen
years younger than herself. The
two men after a great deal of
verbal fisticuffs and a few begin-
nings at a real fight finally pro-
pose to Candida that she choose
between them. Candida's choice is
One of the most beautifully stated
pieces of comic writing in the
English language.
The cast includes: Candida Vir-
ginia Dunagan; Morcll Harlan
Shaw; Marchbanks Richard O'-
Brien; Prossy Virginia Randol;
Lexy Dee Childers; Burgess
Howard CarrolL
Virginia Dunagan has played
major roics lor iout years onaw
is an instructor in the speech de-
partment and has had semi-professional
experience. The play is
under the direction of Dr. Boyd.

Scientific Opinion & World Events
Discussed By Focus Week Team
Topics Include Problems
Of Marriage & Business
The main concerns of life prob-
lems in selecting husband and
wife religion in Europe voca-
tional choices scientific opinion
the H-bomb and living for
Christ were among the things be-
ing studied and talked about dur-
ing the past Religious Focus
week.
Christianity will solve the
For
roblems of the world according
Dr. T. A. Patterson pastor of
the First Baptist church in Beau-
mont. He said that the three
main concerns of life are God
the home and business.
"The second most important
choice you make will be life's
companion. Be certain that you
seek the leadership of Christ in
this choice" he said. "If a per-
son cannot take God in partner-
ship with him he had better get
out of that business."
Be deliberate. This is the ad-
vice that Dr. T. B. Maston pro-
fessor of the Southwestern Bap-
tist Theological Seminary at Fort
Worth gave to students con-
cerning their marriage plans.
"Marriage is not just union
with a companion. It is also the
union with the potential parent of
our children. A boy should not
date a girl that he thinks is not
good enough to be his wife and
girls should abide by the same
rule."
