Show STUDENT LIFE pgmalton anti For the last six weeks the students who won in the tryouts for the College Play have been working hard to make this the best play ever put on by students of this college and from all appearances their labors have not been in vain “Pygmalion and Galatea” is a very pretty little Grecian play Although somewhat difficult still it is within the grasp of the well selected cast This year as has never before happened tryouts for the several parts were held and the best material has thus been obtained Pygmalion a renowned sculptor of Athens has been carving a statue with his wife Cynisca as a model The day on which the play opens Cynisca bids Pygmalion farewell for a short time He who loves his wife beyond all measure fears he will be lonely until she returns Cvnisca to avoid this tells him if thoughts of love should come to speak them to the statue her solitary representative as he is wont to speak them to her Pygmalion realizing the statue as being only cold dull stone curses the gods for alatea not giving him power to give it life Immediately the statue Galatea is brought to life and Pygmalion at sight of her alive begins to talk love Galatea in her innocence causes considerable trouble mainly because Cynisca hears of Pygmag and with the lion’s power the Gods have given her calls down blindness upon him for his faithlessness Galatea by means of her pleadings unknown to Pygmalion persuades Cynisca to recall the curse After receiving his sight again he blames Galatea for She in her sorrow all the trouble mounts the pedestal and becomes again a statue Pygmalion is informed of his mistake and the scene closes with the sculptor weeping at the feet of the statue The part of Pygmalion is acted very creditably by P V Cardon while that of Galatea is admirably presented by Nellie Hayball Miss Ruby Mathews holds the part of Cynisca wife of Pygmalion and shows good talent in presenting it E Hanson as Crysos and Mell Homer as his wife make a good pair As Myrine Pygmali- love-makin- |
