PIaymakers' New Reading Technique Makes Miami History in Series Opener
By Dorothy Ann Levin
A new development in University of Miami history had its beginning on Sunday night of this week with the presentation of a group playreading of “Dr. Faustus.” Sydney Head directed the Marlowe classic, • hich is the first of a series of plays, vh se complete dramatic production would be impossible, to be presented during the winter by the Florida Pluymakers using the playreading method.
This novel—at least to this reviewer—method does not produce a sensation of incompleteness any more than does a	presentation	on	the
radio. Of course the complete darkness between	scenes and	the	fact
that all the main characters read their parts while sitting about a table and wearing	conventional	modern
evening dress	were startling	at	first;
but the audience enjoyed and understood the play more completely than methods and medieval costumes had methoods and medieval costumes had been used. Of course this method admits of far fewer rehearsals than the normal programs and will make it possible for the Playmakers to present a longer series, which starts with this Elizabethan production and will continue chronologically to modern plays. Of course this project will not supplant the usual production methods; it will merely supplement
the regular play schedule and make possible the presentation of more plays.
Audience attention is directed in this sort of drama by means of spotlights. The proper center of interest during the entire play was Faustus, as read by Sydney Head. He set a high mark in reading the role about which the play was built. Standouts in the attempts to reach this mark were Mephistophilis, as played by Edward Gaylor, and the Old Man as played by Paul Pencke. Bill Gale as Cornelius and Robert Breslin-An-thony in the role of the Pope showed improvement over their previous work. Robert Zeman as the reader appropriately kept his part well in the background and was more than adequate as a scene-setter.
Slight disappointments were Dick McKee as Valdes and Gordon Sherwood as Lucifer. It hardly seems appropriate for a king of the fallen angels to be a cheerful-looking, pudgy blonde. All the bit parts were clearly symbolic and almost perfectly cast. Grace Berg and Bebe Fine-man, the Good and Evil Angels, were a nice contrast, well-staged. The Seven Sins were presented in pageant style by Robert Breslin-Anthony, Pride; Paul Pencke, Covetuousness; Robert Remus, Sloth; Frank Hopkins, Envy; Lloyd Symansky, Gluttony; Manuel Roth, Wrath; and Grace Berg, Lechery.

State Department Summons Morales
After giving a few lectures to his classes on Latin-American affairs and Hispanic literature, Dr. Arturo Morales was called unexpectedly to Washington, D.C., recently by the Department of State.
In Washington he has already begun work as the head of a special translation department under the supervision of Cordell Hull. The department was organized recently to promote better cultural relations between North and South America.
Because of his intimate knowledge of Spanish and of Latin-American culture as a native of Puerto Rico, Dr. Morales was considered especially well qualified for such work. His department will send contemporary American news and technical information to the Latin-American republics.
Dr. Robert E. McNicoll and Dr. J. Riis Owre have reorganized his classes, since he probably will not return to the University this year.

Harding Fears Passing, Kicking Of Tough Irish
Led by Pete Sachon, brilliant 168-pound senior quarterback, the fighting Cardinals of Catholic University will do battle with our undefeated, unscored upon Hurricanes in Roddey Burdine stadium tomorrow night at 8:15. A crowd of more than 20,000 is expected to almost fill the big steel stands.
Catholic U. comes to Miami with a .500 average for the season. Defeated by a strong Detroit team in their opening game, 13 to 0, they came back to whip an ancient rival, St. Anselm, 6 to 0 last week.
Punting Duel Expected
The big attraction Friday night will be centered around Sachon and Johnny Douglas, who are expected to engage in a punting duel, the likes of which has rarely been seen in Miami. Sachon has averaged better than 47 yards from the line of scrimmage on his boots so far this season, while Johnny has an even 45 yards for his average against Tampa and Stetson. Miami also has two very capable punters in Dave Wike and Bil Steiner, since both boys have booted the ball well so far.
Starting lineup for the Cardinal eleven, sometimes known as the Irish, will have Sachon at quarterback, Charlie Moutenot and Hank Brostek it halfback, and A1 Norris at fullback. This backfield has an average •/eight of 177 pounds. Joe Carrig and Brendan Stynes will be at end, Casiniir Ksycewski and Julius Stranges are nt tackle, Michael Cherello and John Schroeder at guard, and Tim Murnane at center. The Catholic line will have an average weight of 188 pounds.
Miami Starter*
Joe Krutulis and Bill Totterdale will start at the flanks for the Hurricanes, with Tom Kearns and Bill Wunder at tackle, Matt Borek and Jolly Snowden at guard, and Harry Carifeo at the pivot post. In the Miami backfield, Johnny Kurucza will he at quarterback, Terry Fox at full, and Bill Steiner and Red Tobin at halfs.
Said Coach Harding yesterday: "We expect a tough ball game and a hard fight. We have had reports on Catholic U. for their first two games, and find they are every bit as tough as last year. Our team, however, feels determined to avenge the defeats of the last two years.” Line coach Hart Morris added, “We’ll have to be on our toes with an outstanding kicker and passer like Pete Sachon out there.”
The Catholic-Miami series stands at 2 to 1 in favor of the Washington, D.C., boys at present. The Hurricanes won 21-0 in 1937, while Catholic scored 7-0 and 14-0 victories in the last two years.
Leading Character In 'Androdes' Show Is Made, Not Born
Gumming up the works backstage and roaring around frightening stray Tau Eps, the waltzing lion of the dramatics department is on the loose. Biggest headache of production of the Shaw comedy, “Androcles and the Lion,” scheduled to be presented by the Florida Playmakers on October 30 and 31 and November 1, was producing a lifelike king of the jungle to fill the latter half of the title role.
Glue, wire, rope, and paper were the raw materials of the remarkable beast, who is required by the script of the play to waltz, kick his paw, and roar at the right time. Under the technical direction of Charles Philhour, the front of the awesome beast has been patched together into a very handsome statue.
But that was no statue whose warbles bothered the TEP’s the last few nights. Nor was it Bill Gore, who was originally scheduled to play the part of the lion. Mr. Gore, u well-known baritone, didn't like the idea of breaking into a roar in the middle of his scales.
So the growls which pester the TEP house are now being produced by the rehearsals of Irving Leonard Baker, who will be the latter half of the latter half of the title role.
LIGHTMAN, JUNIOR SECRETARY
Dorothy Lightman, Alpha Epsilon Phi, defeated Lorraine Thompson, Kappfi Kappa Gamma, for the position of secretary of the Junior class Tuesday at a meeting held in room 329 at 10:30. A1 Lane, representing the Honor Court, supervised the voting which was conducted through a secret ballot.
