TALENT? WE'RE LOADED By DARLENE POWELL Beauty and talent were strutted by college club units in the Talent Show of mid-February under sponsorship of Associated Men Students and Associated Women Students. Eight gems of ingenuity and the Phoenix skit were presented to a responsive house in Moench auditorium as Johnny Elzey and Fred Ball sandwiched in between acts with plenty of the good old ham the Weberites recognize as the native product. Spotlighted highlight of the evening was La Dianaeda in "Adam's Trouble Chest," clever clue to the beginning of man's worries. Sharmea's "Monkey Businesss" got sized up by the judges as shoo-in for second place. Patroti-cally, Otyokwa slid into third with its catchy dance rhythms and routines upon the theme, "Shades of Purple." Also-rans, but good enough to round out a slap-happy evening, were the products of the other clubs who staged everything from Whip's colorful "Valentine Shop" to Skull's mellerdrammer "Beautiful Nellie." Chanodo expressed the coed objective, "We Came to College to Catch a Man!" Memories from the show also bring to mind themes of Tiki's "Frosty, the Snowman," and the hilarious hoax "Phoenix Philharmonic." An estimated 450 persons comprised the audience of students and townspeople. Ole Mister Devil (Darlene Powell) parades the world's temptations before Adam (Beth MacFarlane) in La Di-anaeda's winner. "Adam's Trouble Box." Temptress of the moment is Afton Kunz (foreground), with Joyce Lun-green, Joanne Petty, Verna Kimburn, Diane Jones, June Cliften, Marietta Staples, and Marilyn Oakley bringing up the rear. Left Top: "Framed" in "Mrs. Valentino's Valentine Shop," Whip Club's presentation is Emma Hipwell. Adding glamor to the scene are: Beverly Deemer, Carol Slater, Joyce Lundgreen, Beverly Johnson, Janice Herrod, Patricia Green, Zelda Jensen, Carolyn Torgeson, Marilyn Wyberg. All set for the downbeat from concert maestro Glen Taylor are members of the "Phoenix Philharmonic," John Elzey, Owen Burton, Lewis Tarns, Russell Rasmussen. To the strains of "Deep Purple," hip-swingers Barbara Miller, Janet Gourley, Marilyn Howard, LuJean Allison, Renee Glover, Bettie Lyman, Ann Lund, Clareen Clifton, Belva Anderson, Jan Cooper, get into Otyokwa's act, "Shades of Purple." Lowering the boom in a mighty determined way is Prof. Carol Slater, in a scene from Sharmea's "Monkey Business." 10 Theater By MAE STRAND and DALE NELSON The congresswoman is welcomed by the girls of Good Hope College . . . Jane Ann Slater (seated); left to right, Anne Rasmussen, Rebecca Wells, Joan Stewart, Jan Cooper, Renee Glover, Bettie Lyman, Marilyn Howard, Beth Burdett, Luacine Pingree, Ruby McQuarrie, Donna King. Actors of both college and community dramatized "Goodbye, My Fancy" before appreciative theater-goers of winter quarter. Actors of the college also presented the melodramatic thriller, "Suspect." Leads in "Goodbye," three-act comedy by Fay Kanin, were Ruby McQuarrie and Don Linford, supported by a cast of eighteen. Anne Rasmussen as student lead in the part of Ginny Merrill was among Weber actors performing creditably, said the director. Director was Carl K. White of the speech and drama faculty. Producer was the perennially successful Ogden Community-Weber College Theater, whose board of directors comprises Associated Students, community and faculty representatives. "Goodbye" was rated comparably with the fall quarter drama, "Liliom," which attained high audience interest over the five nights under Director M. Thatcher Allred, speech and drama chairman. The interpretations had the polish long associated with Theater performances, critics commented. Murder and mystery were freely combined in the other winter play, "Suspect," by Edward Percy and Reginald Den-ham, and directed by Mr. White. Staging was in the informal atmosphere of Bertha Eccles Hall, usual spot for "Cellar" plays. Leads were John Elzey as Sir Hugo and Marilyn Lamborn as Mrs. Smith, supported capably by a cast of six with substantial parts. The drama forecast for the remainder of 1950-51 includes a detective-mystery, as yet unchosen, directed by Mr. Allred, and seven one-act plays, ranging from farcial to serious, now being readied by the Workshop group. These plays will first be used by the Associated Students as a fund-raising effort toward the student union building. Later, in collaboration with Ogden recreation department, they will be brought before church and school audiences. Final production of the Workshop group will be a full-length play directed by Mr. White and presented to the Cellar Theater. Approaching the climax. Ruby McQuarrie, Ted Watts, Jane Ann Slater and Don Linford enact a tense scene.
