Society Shows Bergman Film

"Wild Strawberries", a Swedish production by Ingmar Bergman, will be shown by the Madison Film Society, Monday, May 11 at 7:45 p.m. in Wilson Hall Auditor- ium.

"Wild Strawberries" delineates the journey into the spirit of a lonely retiriug doctor. The setting is Sweden.

Bergman, also known for such films as "The Virgin Spring" and "Through a Glass Darkly", is con- sidered by Time magazine to be an unprecedented artist in cinema. Concerning his pictures, Time goes on to state that they are "chap- ters in a continuing allegory of progress of his own soul in its tortured and solitary search for the meaning of life, for the experi- ence of God."

"Songs of the Auvergne", a short French film describing the life in the province of Auvergne in South- west Franqe, will also be shown.

Sophomores Elect Junior Marshals

Ten sophomores have been selected to serve as Junior Marshals for the 1964-65 session at Madi- son.

The ten girls are Nancy Myers, Sandy Wade, Dee Dannor, Helen McCord, Terry Lynch, Pat Dick- erson, Sally Greame, Debbie Boden, Susan Dove, and Marlene Reyn- olds.

Elected by the up-coming junior class officers and the nominating committee, the Junior Marshals are responsible for leading the admin- istration, guests, faculty, and sen- iors into special Wednesday as- semblies. The four major assem- blies during which the Marshals work are First Semester Con- vocation, Second Semester Convo- cation, Founder's Day, and Com- mencement. The Marshals also work at other assemblies during the year if called upon to do so.

Along with the ten Marshals, six alternates were chosen. They are Mary Spalding, Faye Pleasants, Nancy Caldwell, Gay Johnson, Edythc Edwards, and Pat Fergu- son.

The last issue of the Breeze will be circulated on Saturday, May 16. It is necessary that all articles be in the Breeze room by Tuesday, May 12 if they are to be published in the final copy.

Directors Review Plays To Be Given May 15 Editor's Note: A group of actors will present two one-act plays on Friday, May 15 in Wilson. The directors of the plays are Barbara Reeves, The Bald Soprano, and Carolyn Rose, The Maids. The two directors have written reviews of the plays and the players. The reviews follow.

The Bald Soprano by Barbara Reeves

"I can buy a pocketknife for my brother, but you can't buy Ireland for your grandfather." "One can prove that social progress is definitely better than sugar." Although these lines may seem un- usual to the average person, they are typical of the dialogue in Eugene Ionesco's The Bald So- prano. This parody of language and middle-class life will be the second play on the program.

The Smiths, the Martins, the Fire Chief, and Mary, the Smiths's maid, are constantly contradicting themselves by using cliches. The characters in the play are types rather than individuals. The simi- larity between the Smiths and the Martins becomes evident when they change positions at the end of the play.

Appearing in the play are Mary Barnes, Annetta Cory, and Virginia Crockett, H. R. Hite, Milton Yoder, and Floyd Freeze. All freshmen, Miss Barnes as Mrs. Smith, Miss Cory as Mrs. Martin, and Miss Crockett as Mary have not had previous experience on the Madison stage. Miss Barnes has worked with lights, and Miss Cory has worked with costuming this year. Freeze, the Fire Chief, has previously played the brother in In Every Man. Yoder, Mr. Martin, appeared as Coll in The Second Shepherd's Play. Hite,

who plays Mr. Smith, although new as an actor on the Madison campus, has had much stage ex- perience. This past summer, he appeared in Firon Cast Ashore, which he had translated from Span- ish, at the Oak Grove Theater, Verona, Virginia. This play was also taken on tour to Philadelphia and Connecticut. Next summer he will be appearing in Ring Around the Moon and two one-act plays at the Oak Grove Theater. Hite will appear in A Village Wooing, by George Bernard Shaw, May 9, 1964, at Stuart Hall, Staunton, Virginia, at the dedication of a new auditorium there.

The Maids by Carolyn Rose

-- Solange hates Claire and Madame; Solange hates Monsieur; Solange hates herself. Claire hates Solange, Madame, and Monsieur; Claire hates herself. (They also hate the butler, the cook, and the milkman.) They hate themselves. They are maids.

'i**.-&tf >u""«'t^. situation,' eh? Hatred is,a rather universal human experience. And in Genet's world, perhaps, it is not unusual to invent and perform a ritual which purges the participant of his hate. But, rituals rarely perpetuate in repeti- tion their original purposes: either they become flabby finger exer- cises or they turn into orgies of emotion. In The Maids, Claire and Solange leave the safety of ritual; they must carry their hate to its ultimate consummation.

First on the bill for the evening of May 15 in Wilson Auditorium is Jean Genet's The Maids. The cast is composed of Dale Sonenshein, Reda Rasnick, and Barbara Snow. Madison's theater

'Every Litter Bit Hurts' (Continued from Page 3)

about the view that our campus presents.

People are urged against litter- ing so often that perhaps it all seems trite now. But rather than considering the mere act of drop- ping trash around, let us consider the consequences. It's not a big thing to throw down a piece of trash; the problem comes in leav- ing it there.
