Show V 1 A -I A - WEBER COLLEGE Vol. 1 No. 17 Approved plans for Weber's Union Building are being sent to San Francisco for approval by the Housing and Home Financing Association.If approved by the Association, the plans will be submitted to the state building board and put up for bid. Plans RUMS FRIDAY, SATURDAY Great Tragedy By Susan Brown Signpost Society Editor One of the greatest tragedies ever written is being produced by the Weber College Theatre Arts Department. The Sophocles drama is being directed by John M. Elzey who is assisted by Joyce Eldridge and Colleen Keyes. The chorus of the play set the mood of the play by interpreting the sorrows and happenings of the plot. The voices of the suppliants blended well as they were effective in their movements. William Higley as Oedipus the King of Thebes succeeded in making himself appear as a King. Although helped by the arrangement of stage risers, Mr. Higley in his carriage and movement impressed the audience as being a person much larger than he actually is. Showed Feeling Jocasta, mother and wife of Oedipus, was beautifully played by Judy Cavalli. Her interpretation of the Queen showed feeling and beauty through her golden mask. Croon, played by Robert Wood, was a very strong character, none of his words were lost by his sharp pronounciation of lines. However, his interpretation and feeling did not suffer by this articulation.Other roles played by Phil Mathews, Norman Bramble, John Hale, Gary Olsen, James Eggle-ston, and George Spelvin were very consistant. Others in the cast are Sherry Boedeker, Kaye Mc-Garry, Cheryl Paxton, Lois Stoddard, Dennis Bramble, Janet Bell, f ; - Annua! OGDEN, UTAH The union building will be the center of social activities at Weber College. The first bid will be for a ballroom and cafeteria. The planned six-lane bowling alley and billiards tables will not' be included in this first bid. Heading the planning committee Plays In Arena Betty Ballard, and Carolyn Som-mers.The play originally performed about 42."i B. C. in Athens was presented in an amphitheatre. Weber's production thus is very much at home in the Arena Theater although done on a much smaller scale. Added Interpretation The masks used added to the interpretation of the play as they were done in stylized moods and j colors according to the character portrayed. Costuming was dark and suited the pUy. The lighting was excellent and very well done. OEDIPUS THE KING by Ken McGowan. Final A4 February 12, 1960 for the Union Building is President Miller.
