Social and Club Activities Emma Jean Lawrence—Phone 2206 Omalev's Artful Direction Makes 'Cyrano de Bergerac,' Good Theatre at Fullerton As the current vogue seems to be dictating, "Cyrano de Bergerac" took up its stand last evening at the Fullerton Junior college auditorium, and I'm happy to say will be there tonight and tomorrow night as well. With what appears to be a gradual return to a more romantic and less severe taste in life in general, the beautiful quality of Rostand's most popular play has been coming into its own. Not only is it increasingly popular in advanced college theaters but only recently Broadway witnessed it superbly played by Jose Ferrer, who is now in Hollywood completing arrangements for its filming. It is the delicate and lyrical, yet impudent and vigorous nature of the work which makes it a tour de force for the actor who assumes the role of Cyrano; and, the numerous important group scenes can be hazardous going for even the most courageous of directors. However, Alex Omalev, director, was fortunate in having the sensitive and able Michael Casey for his Cyrano. His minor roles and "mise en scenes" displayed intelligent and artful coaching. Mr. Omalev withstood the rigors of Cyrano with distinct honors. Placed in the colorful Seventeenth Century era of Richelieu and D'Artagnan, the story tells of an enigmatic gentleman who can Because of this defect he suppresses his life-long love for a beautiful young lady, Roxane, marrying her to his handsome friend, Christian; then devoting his life in guarding this union. It is not enough to pass lightly over this Cyrano of Mr. Casey's. Assuming the plume of Cyrano during the school year with all its natural harrassments is truly an Herculean feat, and it is to be hoped Mr. Casey achieves his academic honors as felicitously as he won his Thespian diploma at the side of Monseur de Bergerac and Mr. Omalev. The many difficult scenes were well studied and conceived, and with the advantage of added performances Mr. Casey will find himself in greater command of props and costumes—and thus be able to pace his performance even more to his liking. Certainly not to be slighted is Mr. Casey's attractive vis-a-vis, Spoor playing Cyrano's close friend, Le Bret, and doing a brittleable job of it. Christian, Roxano's witless husband, is well played by Robert Cadman. A long list of secondary, important characters, followed with exceptional bouquets for Patricia Sullivan for her gentle semi-whimsical, Duenna: The players are; Elden Buck, Joseph Lawson, Arthur Weatherwax, Ronald Johnson, William Will, Daniel Swain, Bill Schultz, Victor Bostwick, Di Hamilton, Gerald Thatcher, Joseph Lawson, Anita Roberts, Shirley Rogers, Gloria Madra, Bette Bolton, Annette Eldre Louise Shamberger, Sammie Hallitt, Marilyn Bernstrauch, Terry Birmingham, Cathora Proud, Beerly Daugherty, Jerry Boult, Zena Bloomfield. Jay Hern, Dick Hamilton, Jeremy Morrison, Leonard Shoemaker, Robert Fulton, Larry Ransdale, Robert Cummings, Wayne Parker, Marvin Burdg, and John Birmingham. Special garlands of praise to set and costume designer, Robert Cadman, for the excellent talent and imagination he displays working on a small stage with large cast. His employment drapes and hangings was exceptionally artistic. I am sure players found themselves at home in such "workable" sets. The production staff also included Esther Hatch, make-up; Otto Muchow, lighting.—M.S.B.

She is properly lovely, gracefully carrying the costumes and demeanor of the era, and, almost without exception, achieves the ideal personification of the role. To this viewer a most professional level was attained with genuine tenderness by these two young players, especially in the balcony and convent scenes. And, they were assisted conspicuously well by Joe Marchese as Rague-neau, the friendly little pastry shop owner; Thomas King as the over-bearing nobleman, De Guiche, whose misfortune it is to have an unpopular role from the audience's standpoint; and Leroy won his Thespian diploma at the side of Monseur de Bergerac and Mr. Omalev.

Arnold Lewerenz to Appear in Recital At University of Southern California On Saturday evening, May 27, the Music School of the University of Southern California will present Arnold O. Lewerenz, 507 N. Philadelphia, in a Master's Recital. The concert will take place in Iancock Auditorium and will begin at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Lewerenz will be accompanied on the piano by the famous coach-accompanist, Shibley Boyes, who is also well-known as the pianist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Sung in English The program has not been planned along the traditional lines for it is to be sung predominantly in English. The first group is rather unusual for it combines 13th and 6th century poems with music written by contemporary composers. The last song in the group is even in Boogie-Woogie Tempo with words taken from a poem by the Elizabethan poet, Ben Jonson. The second group consists of German lieder by Erich J. Wolff and is followed by the dramatic aria "O Paradis" from the opera 'L'Africaine.' In contrast, the following group is made up of gay and heart-warming folk songs from Ireland, being then followed by a contemporary French group and a group of interesting American songs. Mr. Lewerenz is well-known in this area as a teacher of voice and piano, Minister of Music at the First Presbyterian Church, and as the Music Supervisor of the Westminster schools. He is prominent in Choral Conductor's Guild and Musical Arts Club activities. Active Because of his constant efforts he was able to arrange for the concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Anaheim this past season and is now hard at work on the Choral festival in the Anaheim Greek Theater on June 4. It was under his leadership that Anaheim experienced the last two Christmas seasons the gigantic mass performances of Handel's "Messiah" in the high school auditorium. He has been heard as soloist at civic groups and in oratorio at Riverside, Fullerton, and Orange Coast Colleges, and will soon be heard in leading roles in the operas "Carmen," "Madame Butterfly," and "La Boheme," in Los Angeles.

The four officers she likened to drivers of lead cars chosen for their capabilities and qualities for the journey ahead. The chairman was given the car of leadership, the vice-chairman one representing integrity and tolerance, the secretary one of understanding and knowledge and the treasurer, dependability and steadfastness. To make the caravan more complete and successful, she asked Mrs. Wayne Clark, new president of the Womens' Society of Christian Service to "drive" the car of encouragement; Mrs. Pearl Green, retiring chairman, one of counsel; Mrs. Lillian Wise, representing past chairmen, one of harmony and peace and Mrs. Ramsey, on behalf of all members of the group, one of loyalty and faithfulness.
