Redford, The Crucible by Arthur Miller was successfully presented last week by the Weber College Community Theatre. The play was based on the Salem, Massachusetts witch-hunts of the late 1090's. The expert red lighting, simple staging and black and white costuming all added to the mood of harshness. The unscrupul-ousness of well-meaning judges and ministers who ferreted out and executed the witches made some members of the audience extremely depressed. The depression of these people stemmed probably from the reality of the presentation while others gained a thankfulness for the lack of such extremes on the contemporary scene. The play included members of the Weber College faculty staff and students as well as community people. Ronald Jenkins gave a convincing performance in the role of John Proctor, a man of somewhat vacillating character who proves himself strong in the final action of the play. Dr. J. G. Olsen did a superb job in carrying the role of the witch-hunting minister who is finally re-vulsed by the proceedings. Despite some squeamish members in the audience the play was well-cast and professionally performed.

Students mak ing the trip were Suzanne Parker, Kaye Fen-ell, Dean Ellis, Richard Nealson, Jane Larsen, La-von Carroll, Don Heninger, and Betty Rounds. II. E. D. Redford, T. Leonard Rowley, and Thatcher Allred accompanied the students. Subject matter for this year's festival was the poetry of Christina Rossetti. Since the beginning of this festival, fifteen years ago, Weber students have participated each year. Commenting on the event, Thatcher Allred, chairman of Speech and Drama at Weber said: "The more experienced one becomes in literature, the more he comes to appreciate good poetry as a part, the most varied and impressive part of our literary heritage. The poetry festival sponsored each year at Logan is u-nique in the state and nothing anywhere in the northwest is doing so much to stimulate a purposeful study of good poetry and contribute to the ability of students to read it well."
