Doris Cristoffel ernice Stepp Harriette Taylor "Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress" A satirical farce in one act by George Bernard Shaw,"Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress , was presented on January 7th as part of a program for the Civic Art Center, and on January 22nd before the student body. During the Speech Conference in December a dress rehersal of the play was given before a small assemblage of high school directors for the purpose of exhibiting new method in direction. The play, of a type particularly difficult to do, provided its cast with much new knowledge of the theatre. It dramatizes an experience ©f an absurdly human princess who has, at one time, fallen in love with a circus acrobat. General Strammefest, a battered old warrior with a string of medals on his breast who has never won a battle, and Lieutenant Schneidekind, a timid subordinate, are completely overwhelmed by the gate crashing Princess who drags her guards with her. What a time they have! One moment she cajoles and the next berates, She pushes them about and chases the guard and Schneidekind from the room with a gay splattering of bullets. In true Shavina manner she pins the General down to a discussion of politics, and when Stammefest bemoans the lack of a leader she offers to produce one. Her most delightful moment is the removal of her cloak to disclose the uniform of the Royal Hussars. The cast for Annajanska was well balanced and talanted. Miss Eleanor Johnston, the princess, gave a charming well poised performance. Jack Daugherty, a talented new comer to the college theater group, gave an amusing character portrayal of Lieutenant Schneidekind Leonard Van Dussen presented the old worldly-wise General Strammefest in a convincing way. The players were as follows: Annajanska, Eleanor Johnsotn,- General Strammefest, Leonard Van Dussen; Schneidekind, Jack Daugherty,- a Guard, William Patterson. Eighty
