Allbritton of the Northeast State faculty. By FLETA D. LATHAM Well, it's Wednesday and that means the last performance of Little will be seen tonight. The play will be gone but I 'it be forgotten. The people who saw this magnificent produc- i tion will remember the actors and actresses will remember all those who had a part in bring- ing the show to life will remem-; ber.

Yes, Little will be remembered as another Little Theatre achievement. We hope all of you have seen the play or have reservations for tonight. If you there might! be a reservation or two left. Ifs worth a telephone call to find out. I But be disappointed if you are told that the house is Little has played to a full house every night and tonight will be no exception.

Random notes: There have been so many nice people to help make the opulent set for Little possible. We have mentioned some but here are others whose generosity we wish to acknowledge. The beautiful satin upholstered. gilt chairs are from the home of Bella Scherck Davidson. The equally lovely blue velvet chairs were loaned to Little Theatre by Mrs.

D. I. Kirsch. The Victorian marble topped table which belongs to George Hefley adds to the perfection of the set. We mentioned the floor lamp I which Edith and Jack Coburn made for us.

The gas chandelier is also their handiwork. Once again we say to all the people who help to make our Little Theatre productions possible Credit for the lobby decorations goes to Mrs. Clara Dennis and Dr. Katherine Foster, members of the Monroe Garden Club. Their arrangement is most unusual and attractive Little Theaterite Katherine Magruder tells us she thinks she has received far too much credit for her work on the set of Little Says that after Director Ivan Uttal designed the set, selected the colors and arranged for the furnishings, the work she did was a small part of the over all picture.

Well, the lovely rococo valance she and husband Ray de: signed and executed seem so small to us. To say nothing of the numerous other things they did I for Little Katherine is a very modest girl and we think I she deserves the accolades she has I received Judy Calk, who is doing such a fine job in Little is smart as well as talented. Although devoting so much time to Little Theatre, Judy did not let her scholastic work suffer. She passed her midterm exams with flying colors. Made the honor roll.
