Drama Major Creates
Jekyll, Hyde Complex
In the afternoon she is a plain,
timid girl who know* little about
life and less about men. In the
evening she is transformed
into an overly dramatic actress,
an extrovert who knows a ureal
deal atiout life and men
This .lekyll and Hyde person-
ality is the plight of Mildred
l)ew, senior speech and drama
major from Kl I'aso. She is per-
forming lead roles in the Supper
Theater production of "The
Apollo of Bellac" and College
Players' "Light l'p the Sky
The final perforrnance of

Denton Changes
Phone System
Kenton telephone numbers are
now being converted to a srtcn
digit system, hut North Texas
numbers won't change until
later.
All numbers beginning "!>IJ !
2-7" were changed last week, and
the telephone company expects
the change-over to be completed
by December.
An example of the new
system: III' 2-7.170 becomes
387-1570.
tueen rehearsing six hours daily-
six days a week and carrying a
full semester load, time is an
unknown luxury in her schedule.
Miss I)ew has recently been
chosen to represent North Texas
at the Sun Carnival in Kl I'aso.
She is secretary for the College
('layers and a member of Supper
Theater, the Radio Club and
Modern Dance Club.
The versatile actress spent the
summer of 1!«58 with a profess-
ional stock company (Summer
House) in Albuquerque, N. M
While there she participated in
"The Solid Gold Cadillac," "Once
in a Lifetime," "Dinner at
Kight," "The Man Who Came to
Dinner," and "Bravo."
In one scene of "The Man Who
Came to Dinner," Miss Dew was
to run rapidly on stage from the
wings. She literally "brought
the house down" in one per-
formance when she ran on stage,
tripped over a telephone cord,
and pulled half the set down
after her.
Although cuts and bruises,
long hours, and lack of social
life are standard in the trade,
she has never considered doing
anything else. After graduation '
she plans to tench at least two
years and then go to the Alley i
Theater in Houston.
At NTSC Miss Dew nas ap- !
peared in "Maker of Dreams," !
"Medea," "Volpone," "Joan of
Lorraine," "The Naked," "The
Man Who Married a Dumb Wife"

Supper Theater's blending of
broad hunun and satirical farce
with a curious example of the
masculine species thrown in for
good measure got the fall
diainu season on the campus utT
to a rollicking start Thursday
night.
A near capacity audience
turned out to applaud Directoi
Judith Bogun and her cast of I;!
in a chuckle ft lied and skillful
rendition of Jean (iiraudoux's
delightful fantasy, "The Apollo
of Hellac."
K peated Tonight
Supper Theater's second ami
filial performance will be pre
rented in the I'nion Building
after a candlelight dinner al 7.
Miss Bogiin of Fort Worth
utilized (iiraudoux's broad com
edy and satire with balanced
staging and an almost tableau
appearance at times. Under her
adept direction, the cust did a
more than satisfactory portray-
al.
Jerry Sones, Weutherford,
wa competently cast in a ilitli
cult role as the man However,
after starting with a bang, he
weakened hi- character with ex-
cessive eyebrow manipulation,
eye-1 oiling, and a lack of projec-
tion.
I'hilosophy, Too
At the outset Mildred Dew,
Kl I'aso, as Agnes, overdid her
"business," but be progressed
steadily into a more helievablc
cha meter. Iler best .cent* was
the description of her loneliness.
This scene also served to sneak
in some of i lie philosophy of
playwright (iiraudoux.
Jack Kills, Dallas, took the
delightful part of the vice presi-
dent and played it 'o the hilt
As the clerk, Charles Huberts,
Dallas, joined Kllis in the liest
performances of the evening.
Melinda Duke, Dallas, por
trayed 1 herese quite well, al-
though the role had greater po-
t -ntial'ies than it was given. An
otherwise capable performance
of the president by James Moore,
Cleburne, was hampered by rep-
etitious gestures.
'No Small Paris'
In proof of the old adage
"there are no small parts," John
Peninger, Bridgeport, -poke one
line and ■-p-nt only a few seconds
on tage, but delivered his line
as Mr. f'racheton with much im-
pact. lie wa followed closely by
Bob Dolman, Fleetra, Mr. l.epe-
dura; Larry Sitford, Athens,
Mr Kasemutte; and John Frib-
ble, Austin, Mr Schultz.
Margaret Cox, Kden, con-
vincingly pluyed Chevredent,
and David Brown. Dallas, was
east as the chairman.
(Ill I he technical side of the
Stage, John (iunter, Pasadena,
bandied the lighting, which he
should do more often. He seems
to have found hi* element.
