S. C. LITTLE THEATRE IS ENDORSED BY WOMEN’S DEAN
Dean Mary S. Crawford Heartily In Favor of Little Theatre Movement.
Roller Skates Used On Bachelor Club Hunt
Joe Smith and Marjorie Harmon were the first couple to solve the mystery and win the prizes in the Bachelor Club treasure hunt which was held last Saturday evening.
The novel feature of this hunt was that each of the thirty couples who started from Red and Hank's, the | official starting point, was forced to proceed entirely on roller skates. The finish of the contest was at the Slg-i ma Tau house where an orchestra furnished music for dancing.
Hal Williamson and Professor Nagiev were chaperones of the affair, j
“I heartily endorse the Little Theatre which is being inaugurated at Southern California. That is the type of interest and activity we should sponsor on the campus; the creative activity should be supported by every student in the university, for that is the highest aim of a university, that of sponsoring the creative ability to be developed.” Thus spoke Dean Mary S. Crawford when asked for her views on the Little Theatre Movement at Southern California.
Continuing, she said: “It is impossible for me to express my enthusiasm for the interest shown and the fact that there is such an organization on the campus. This part of the country, especially in such proximity to Hollywood, is so adapted to any interest in dramatics; Hollywood is always looking for something fine and creative.” ’
That the movement will ultimately result in an organization such as the Harvird Workshop, and that a theatre belonging to S. C. for the presentation of the plays is inevitable, according to the Dean, if the students prove their worth.
