“Cradle Song.” the drama department’s third production of the year, will open tonight in Bovard Auditorium at 8:30.
When the lights dim and the curtain opens, the audience will be transported into a semi-cloistered convent of sand-colored sets which were designed by John Blankenship, assistant professor of drama.
The audience will see 14 women and two men students, several of whom have had professional and semi-professional experience, enact the story of a child who was abandoned by a poor mother at the gate of convent.
The nuns who live in the convent take pity on the orphan, and through the help of the village doctor, adopt the baby.
The unfolding of the life of this adopted baby in the convent is the substance of the play. When the child, named Teresa, becomes old enough to know that the convent world is not the only part of life, conflict arises.
The play is not so much concerned with the child’s actions as with the emotions and motherly instincts that are aroused in the hearts of the nuns when they give in to the desire of caring for a
child and teaching it the rudiments of life.
The cast rehearsed the play approximately a month and a half. Cast members playing nuns made their own costumes under the supervision of Hal George, head of the costume crew.
Cast members worked on the production aside from the regular rehearsals.
Free admission to “Cradle Song” will be granted to stude.nts with activity cards and faculty with faculty cards. Junior college and high school students admission is 50 cents, regular admission is SI. Tickets may be purchased at the student ticket office, second floor Student Union, or at the box office in Bovard Auditorium on performance nights.
They went as a group to a convent of the same type as that in the play, to learn about the life of semi-cloistered nuns and to get first-hand information for correct portrayal of that life.
One of the cast, Dixie Lee Anderson, attended several churches in order to “get the atmosphere and core of the play.”
Carole Daniels is studying drama with Agnes Moorehead. She played
a leading role in one of the “Jim Bowie” TV series. Miss Daniels plays Teresa, the abandoned baby at the gate of the convent and around whose actions the plot of the play revolves.
Kathy Coombs played a leading role on NBC’s Matinee Theatre last summer. She is one of the nuns in “Cradle Song.”
Nina Shaw, a member of the Lake Shore Players in Chicago for two years, received the group’s “Master Technician” award for 1955.
Ann Mitchell, along with Miss Shaw, also plays a nun. She arranged the dancing and choreography work for a number of productions at Santa Clara City College.
Barbara Giruin, playing a nun, previously worked with the Manhattan Beach Players as a movie extra and with the USO on tour. Miss Girvin is attending SC on a scholastic scholarship and is a member of Zeta Phi Eta, a national speech and drama professional fraternity for women.
The play is classified as a comedy in two acts with an interlude in verse and was written in Spanish in the early 1900’s by Gregorio and Maria Martinez Sierra.

★ ★ ★ Director Notes Difficulties in Cradle Song'
Commenting on the production techniques used in today's production “Cradle Song,” Bill White, production director, pointed out the dramatic effect of the pause with no dialogue which he uses in the play.
For example, in one scene a chime rings, slowly the nuns walk out—creating atmosphere and mood.
• Jean Louis Barrault, French actor-director is one of the chief exponents of this technique,” White added.
“White is a very distracting color on the stage, and as ail the nuns are in white, this presented a difficult problem in lighting. It was especially tricky as the color tones in the background are brown.” White said.
There is an 18-year span between Act I and Act II.
“Because of the nun’s costumes, there is almost no opportunity to show how they have aged except through their voices. This presents a real challenge,” White commented.

“Prolegomena to a 20th Century Metaphysics” is the title of today’s philosophy lecture scheduled at 4:15 p.m. in Mudd Hal.1 by Herbert L. Searles, professor of philosophy.
The lecture is the fifth in a philosophy forum series, which started Feb. 19 and will end Mar. 26 with Fritz-Joachim von Rintelen, visiting professor of philosophy, from Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He will talk on “The Existentialism of Martin Heidegger.”
Today’s lecture will explain the origin of the term metaphysics and the reasons why it has been used as a term of reproach.
“The current controversy between the logical positivists, who entirely reject metaphysics, and the more conservative view that some kind of metaphysics is inevitable and needed by modern man to lend rationality to his system of concepts about the world, and structure, meaning and direction to his values,” Professor Searles said.
He said that the tendency in 20th century metaphysics is shown to be identical with that in modern physics.
The concept of process, change and flux predominates, and is but a revival of, the old idea first suggested by Heraclitus that—“all things flow.’*_
