'GLASS MENAGERIE' SET FOR METHODIST COLLEGE HOMECOMING
Methodist College alumni will see the first drama presented on the Reeves Auditorium
stage as they return for Homecoming Week October 21-26.
Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie," set for October 22 and 23, is currently
in practice by The Green and Gold Masque Keys, the college drama club.
Raymond Conley, play director and assistant professor of English and speech, said
that play personnel is complete from the cast to ushers. Coordinating the stage crews,
set design and properties is stage manager Jim Adcox, a sophomore from Dunn.
Assistant
director for the production is Jerry Monday, a sophomore from Mt. Airy.
"The Glass Menagerie," in director Conley's view, is about people who are suffering
loneliness and frustration while trying to find meaning and dignity and love in life.
The stage classic is a memory play in which Tom, a merchant seaman who has abandoned
his mother and sister, recalls his life with them in an alley tenement apartment in St.
Louis in the thirties.
Appearing in the cast will be: Edna Contardi, assistant professor of English, as
Amanda Wingfield, the mother; Lanette Shanks, senior English major, as Laura Wingfield,
the daughter; Jack Kerr, senior history major, as Tom Wingfield, the son; and Mike
Moore, a freshman, as Jim O'Connor, the gentleman caller.
The play will be open to the public at no admission charge. Curtain time is
8 p.m.

D. Scarlatti
Domenico Scarlatti (1605-1757), who was born in the same
year as J. S. Bach and G. F. Handel, is knowTi to us today only
because of his keyboard sonatas. Less well-known is the fact that
he also composed a good number of operas, oratorios, and cantatas,
as well as church music. Ralph Kirkpatriek in his important book on
Scarlatti lists 555 keyboard sonatas, which were known collectively
as "Essercizi." These are single-movement pieces in binary form.
From the standpoint of content and style they were well advanced
for their day. The musical ideas expressed are usually concise,
effective, and, at times, even daring.
La Soiree dans Grenade (Estaiapes)
.........
Debussy
Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was undoubtedly one of the finest
and most original composers of music for piano in the entire history
of the instrument. His pieces for solo piano always carry a
descriptive title. "Evening in Grenada" is the second of a series
of three jieces under the title "Estampes." These were composed
in 1903 and were dedicated to Jacques-Emile Blanche. The Estairpe
was an important instrumental form of the 12 th and 14th centuries,
possibly originating as a dance.

set of ten descriptive pieces SMBMMMMO entitle**. "liistoires . "
Fairy Tale, Op. 20, Ho. 1
Medtner
Nikolay Medtner (1880-1951) was a Russian composer who composed mostly in what one could term a neo-classical style. He is
a descendant of the Beethoven-Brahms line of development. Medtner
left Russia in 1921 and subsequently lived in Germany, France, and
finally England, where he died. The Fairy Tale, Op. 0, Ho.
composed in 1910 and was one of a considerable number of piano works
ccrrving "the same descriptive title.

Vierne
Louis Vierne (1870-1957) was an able French organist and
composer. He was a direct descendant of Francis: and I'idor, having
studied with both.men. As a performer he held an appointment at
Notre-Dame in Paris. His compositions include vocal and chamber
music, but most of all music for the organ.. Six of his. works for
organ he entitled "Symphony," even though no orchestra is involved,
¥idor used similar titles for his works. Possibly this SXMS3EX&
practice reflects a feeling that the organ of the day was,a
self-contained "orchestra."

ENGLISH PROFESSOR SPINS FOLKLORE T?OR COLLEGE LITSR/ R? CLUB
FAYFTTRVTLLE - Or. Richard Walser, professor of English at North Carolina
State Univfrsity, spoke on folklore at Methodist College October 29. The
speech was sponsored by the Laureates, the campus literary club.
Professor Walser delighted his audience with numerous examples of
the many forms of folklore.
"Folklore is oral tradition, I have discovered," the professor said.
"It is also myth."
"Witchcraft is fashionable in folklore this year," Dr. Walser said.
"Ghosts are also popular folklore subjects."
The professor cited the following "^host story" as a example of the
folklore form:
~\l Lydia1 appear
and Greensboro every Saturday night. One evening a youns- man stopped for her.
She asked him to drpLve her home and once there, asked him to <*p to the door
to tell her parents that she was saffe, <fer oprents, however, told the youn?
"-•an that she hed died three yesrs earlier in an automobile era h at the
underpass on a Saturday night."
MORE
ADD ONE — Folklore
Dr. Walser also told about a particularly gruesome folk report, ?lso
a part qf«folklore:
"In an 18£7 Fayetteville newspaper," he said, "there is *n item' about
a shower 30 feet wide and 2%0 feet Ion? v?5ich consisted of flesh, brains,
lunps, liver pnd blood which fell from the sky in Sampsen County. The
report says that two little bo^s vent home to their mother after it had
fallen on them. A man from Sampson County brought samples of the slower
into the editors office,"
Speaking of legends, a form of folklore, the professor usrd the story
of Virginia. Dare, a love triangle,
"The legend fcrs that she wss loved by two Indian chiefs, one handsome,
the other evil and. ugly,", he said.
fought -a dual with arrows,
"Since only one .conId. h- ve her, they
."hen the arrows were in flight, Virginia's body
mysteriously rot in the wsy."
"Torn Dula" served as the example for folk bslads, slso a form of
folklore. Tom Dula is'slso s folk character, a vrilkes County lady killer.
The balad*is glso about the Icve triangle, s common thewe of folklore,
sccor^inf to Dr. Walser*
.The professor also cornmented on folk superstition (Moles on the neck
mean nonsy by the peck)j weather-lore (Rain and sun together nesns the devil
is beating his wife); and folk'home remedies (Paid heaced? Use 'ear fr>+.).
Dr. falser said that a search for additional folklore material is continually
beinp made.
He invited his listeners to sub-nit material to K0rth Carolina
Folklore, a jo'-rnal published by the Worth Carolina State Uni\ rsity
