“The Dauphin is the most difficult character I have ever tried to play,” said Ray Scott as he explained his role in the production. “The Dauphin is a complex person, almost paradoxical in his makeup. During the first act of the play he is weak and lacks willpower, because he finds it easier to conform to other people’s opinion.”
There is a continuous fight throughout the show betw’een two factions, Joan and the corrupt politicians. In Joan, the Dauphin sees a chance to gain the crown but does away with h<;r when she becomes worthless to him. ELABORATE COSTUMES
In his last college production, Scott will be one of the most elaborately dressed actors. His dressing robe is gold lame trimmed with fur. The coronation robe will be silver covered with “fleurs de Iis.** a French symbol.
Scott is well known in campus activity circles as past-president oi the Religious council. Majoring in peech, he hopes eventually to en-er some phase of radio.
