Fantasy Play
To Be Given
“Heaven Can Wait,” a fantasy
play written by Harry Segall will
be presented by Delta Psi Omega
November 4 and 5, according to
Donald Liercke, director of the
play and fraternity adviser.
Tryouts for the production,
held last Wednesday and Thurs¬
day, drew 125 students and re¬
sulted in the following cast: How¬
ard Schwartz as Joe Pendle¬
ton, Dick Allen as Mr. Jordan,
Gloria Murphy as Judy Farns¬
worth, Stewart Basquin as Tony
Abbott, Patti Pamhan as Bette
Logan, Patti Crawley as Mrs.
Ames, Carolyn Land as the nurse,
Alicia Roberts as Susie, Maureen
Henderson as Ann, and Dick Root
as Williams.
A hit on Broadway, the play
was later made into the movie
“Here Comes Mr. Jordan.” Flyer,
saxophonist, and prize fighter,
best describes Joe Pendleton, a
main character in the play, who
when claimed dead convinces of¬
ficials in the hereafter that he is
still alive. Upon returning to
earth, Pendleton discovers he no
longer has a human body and
creates quite a sensation.

/ Gloria ' to Alter
Biennial Custom
“Gloria,” PCC’s original Christ¬
mas production, will be offered
again this year, December 10
and 12. Contrary to the tradition
of presentation on alternate
years, this change is due to re¬
quests from the community, and
the music and drama depart¬
ments. The production involves
250 students of the drama, music,
stage, technology, art, printing,
and journalism departments.
The story, written by Kathar¬
ine Kester, begins in the days of
prophecy in a Hebrew temple
where the anthems of the Hebrew
chants intermingle with the
songs of the angels. The scene
then turns from the temple to
the fields of Bethlehem where
the shepherds are tending their
sheep. The Christ Child is an¬
nounced by the presence of the
star and the singing of angels.
From then on, it depicts the lov¬
ing sacrifice of a shepherd boy,
a lost king, and a mother in fear
of the life of her child. Because
of unavoidable obligations they
are unable to journey to the holy
manger. Finally, they are all re¬
warded for their love and faith
by the vision of the holy manger
accompanied by the singing of
the celestial choir. Then the
vision begins to build, the star
and manger are first to appear,
then come the kings and shep¬
herds, the heavenly host and fin¬
ally the A Cappella Choir. The
scene together with Christmas
music creates a beautiful and
deeply reverent picture.
East Named
It has been established through
tradition, that any dramatic stu¬
dent who wins a part in the pro¬
duction will hold that part so
long as he remains in school. Par¬
ticipation is open to anyone in
good standing with the student
body. Students who will definite¬
ly take dramatic parts this year
are Kathleen Welsh, Joseph Pyle,
John Hall, Tom Wiriek, Stuart
Basquin, Art Huston and Jerry
Price. Others interested in tak¬
ing part in the production should
attend tryouts October 12, from
3:30 to 5 p. m. in the Little Thea¬
ter.
Katherine Kester is director of
the dramatics and will be assist¬
ed by her students. Lula Parm-
ley will direct the music and
serve as organist assisted by the
music department faculty and
students. Fred Latshaw will di¬
rect the staging and lighting with
the assistance of stage technol¬
ogy students.
Broadcast East Year
Last year, "Gloria” was chosen
as the representative campus ac¬
tivity most suited for radio pres¬
entation. In honor of Pasadena’s
new radio station, Gloria was
broadcast over stations KPPC
and KXLA directly from the
stage of the Sexson Auditorium
during the actual performance.
“Gloria” has never been refer¬
red to as a play expressly for
entertainment, but rather as a re¬
ligious service. The play keeps
the audience in a mood of deep
reverence throughout, it is re¬
quested that there be no applause
as the last curtain falls for
“Gloria” represents the real spir¬
it of Christmas.

ing events, 126 women students
