THREE CORNERED MOON A Nonsense Comedy. Barbara Collins, Maris Atkisson, Gladys Hall, George Trauger, Jim Mayer, and Joe King following their bents! ELLIS KENNEDY Premier College Theatre Technician. Chief Technician for: Three Cornered Moon Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Great Catherine THREE CORNERED MOON IT is a harum-scarum lark danced on the surface of a down- at-the-heels fable. It is a whirlwind of impudent irrelevances—a demented antic—a romp." So said the New York Times of the fifteenth of College Theatre's Greater Productions presented under the direction of John W. Wright. In College Theatre's "Three Cornered Moon", by Gertrude Tonkonogy, presented November 22, 23, 26, 1934, we again find those delightful players,- Gladys Hall, as Elizabeth Rimplegar, and Maris Atkisson as her lover, Dr. Allan Stevens, teamed together. Barbara Collins, as Mrs. Rimplegar played to perfection the part of an absent- minded, moon struck woman. Jackson Gillis gave feeling and finesse to the rolle of the poet, Donald . Audiences thoroughly enjoyed Jim Mayer as Kenneth Rimplegar. Able support was achieved by Joe King, playing Ed Rimplegar, George Trauger, playing Douglas Rimplegar, Frances Weinberg as the maid, and Mary Owens with her comically, scatterbrained Kitty. A setting in terra-cotta shade, paneled in mahogany, combining a sitting room and dining room from an old New York brownstone dwelling created professionally and skillfully a fitting environment for the play. The Technical Division functioned efficiently under Ellis Kennedy and John Crabbe. "Three Cornered Moon" was another of College Theatre's smartly done nonsense comedies, expressing several worthwhile ideas that notwithstanding found a mixed reaction of unstinted praise and negative comment. People living in small towns habitually take themselves too seriously to permit growth of a sense of nonsense. College Theatre hopes in time to create a more general appreciation for genuinely sophisticated horseplay. EIGHTY-FOUR
