Even the red buds made their appearance in time for the fes tival. (In case you didn’t know it—that’s break ing a record of long standing.) And Joan Moore was crowned Queen of the Redbud Festival t h e highest honor a girl can get at TSCW. Preparations for the weekend began; very early all, ironing boards were used every minute of the week since the new spring for mula had to be without a wrinkle, and blue jeans bad to be ready in ease )t was picnic weather Sun day. [ There was a question a# to whether the redbuds would bo washed away by tlui rain up blown off by the wind, but It sooms as ii the; aggies brought the siibshlne with (help as they began arriving Friday afternoon for the dance Saturday. There (vere five grow# prtn- eospeq pri'sentcd at the Festival Friday night, They were Becky Hinltb (Denton), Jefm Harris (also Dentmi), Franees (Iranbury (Min- Sneak Preview . . eral Wells), Laura Sessilons (Wax- ahachie), and Joan Moore (Robs- town), and the Queen, Joan Moore, was chosen from these fi v e princesses. King Louis of the house of Hubbard announced the Queen and crowned her. The Modern Choir, the Crinolin Trio, and the Modern Dance Group entertained the Queen and her epuirt. The Ball commenced—the Queen and princesses and their escorts danced the first two dances. There were two different oiichesfras — the TSCW Serenaders played in the ballroom and the North Texas orchestra tin the gym. (The Col lege Club was also open—.for a short—cigarette.) But the slow thihkers who thought that surely the dorms wouldn’t lock the dooifs at 12:15 were sadly mistaken! Things have settled back to their normal pace for most people now— mid-semester exams, plans for Easter, etc. But for some thirty speech majors, Wednesday night brought more excitement. Macbeth, one of BUI Shakes peare’s better tragedies, opened; Wednesday night for a week’s run. It's the first time a Shakespearian play has ever been given by the speech department of TSCW, and we feel that we're gaining some thing from the attempt, nut the first performance was well re ceived.

Jack Carson, Edward Ar nold; and Patricia Neal. John Loves Mary is a first rate comedy throughout. The plot is generously stuffed with laughs from the opening scene to the grand finale. The boy-girl-third person triangle found in the aver age inovie has been replaced in John Loves Mary by a complete snafii involving aU the'characters. John, Ronald Reagan, after ‘a lengthy delay has/oeen released from oversea’s service and eagei- ly r;turns home to his true-love Mary, Patricia Neal, and his best friend played by Jack Carson. Sinc$ Carson had sav^d his life while they were in combat, John feelsj obligated to help out Carson in anyway possible. ; Jujst prior to leaving England for the states, John finds aiv ex love | of Carson’s who was .thought to tje dead, John, determined to re-unite the supposed sweethearts, mar ies the girl so that she may travel as a serviceman’s wife ana gain entrance to the U.8. despite immigration laws. By bringing the English girl back to Carson, John hop^s to partly repay for the ~ ing of his life. The 1 story opens with John i(i the stktes and the ex-girl of Car- son’s on the ship coming over. The complications; begin to arise when Johti learns Carson had married after getting home and is cur rently expecting an addition to tlj* family. Because of the many mis-under- standings which arise with Mary’s parents when John is caught alone with her without his pants, he finds himself unable to tell any one but Carson about his new, convenience-only wife. Thus every possible laughable situation emerges as John stalls for time to get a divorce from Carson’s ex-flame while Mary and her family attempt to hold a quick mftrrUjge-,. ^ Since the brunt of most the hu mor is pushed, upon the army, any one with a knowledge of service should especially enjoy this show. Edward Arnold as Mary’s Senator- father is very aptly cast and does an excellent job of causing laughs. Carson too is funnier than usual in this picture. About the only drawback to John Loves Mary is the laughter of the audience. A good percen tage of the humorous lines are lost because of the hold-over yacks from the previous lines. rvutfert 1 sait: • ' 'T'^iwrti Silwr! », ik MaiilUM 1,.Imports ......
