Aggie Players to Present
Modern Dress ‘Antigone’
By ALICE BURKS
When the Aggie Players pre
sent the modem version of “Anti
gone” on April 2 and 3, they will
be enacting one of the classic
Greek tragedies which has proved
a favorite through the years.
“Antigone” is the last part of a
three part story of a doomed fam
ily written by that master traged
ian, Sophocles, 2,400 years ago.
The story begins with “Oedi
pus Rex” which reveals that
Oedipus, who has been brought
up from infancy in a foreign
court, has returned as a man to
Thebes, killed his own father,
Lauis, and married his own moth
er.
When these two sins are disclos
ed, his mother hangs herself, and
Oedipus, putting out his own eyes,
takes the child Antigone begging
with him.
The second tragedy, “Oedipus
at Colonus”, deals with Oedipus’
death in exile, and the return of
Antigone to Thebes,
After Oedipus has deposed of
his throne, his two sons, Eteoeles
and Polynices, agi’eed to share
their father’s throne, each to reign
over Thebes in alternate years.
Eteoeles, having reigned a full
year, refused to yield up the
throne to his brother. Polynices
supported by foreign troops,
beseiges Thebes, but is repelled
by the Theban army. The broth-
Attaches —
(Continued from Page 1)
During his military service he
acted in the capacity of adjutant in
a field artillery regiment, as a
battery commander, an instructor
in gunnery at the School of Ar
tillery, and as a member of the
Danish delegation to the North At
lantic Treaty Organization in
Washington.
He was promoted to the rank of
lieutenant colonel on Jan. 1, 1961.
Col. Umberto De Martino, who is
a Bersaglieri or Italian Light In
fantry officer, was born in 1906
and commissioned a 2nd lieutenant
in 1924.
Upon conclusion of the Italian
Armistice in September 1943, Col
onel De Martino joined the Par
tisans where he distinguished him
self in combat.
In November of 1944 he became
assistant commander of the “Le-
ganano” Regiment and later Chief
of Staff of the “Folgore” Combat
Grou, both of which were Italian
units under Allied command.
Colonel De Martino wears the
Silver Medal for Valor, which is
the second highest combat award in
the Italian Army.
Colonel De Martino is military
attache to Canada as well as the
United States.
A telegram received from Col
onel De Martino read as follows;
“Bringing with me the unforget
table Valentino features and the
adventurous spirit of Hopalong
Cassidy I will arrive at Texas
A&M on Friday night March 9
Stop.”
ers kill one another in single
combat, and Creon, their uncle,
becomes king.
Here the story “Antigone” opens.
Creon, who was on Etecoles’ side,
ordains that Polynices is to be left
unburied, while Eteoeles is to be
buried with pomp and honors.
Antigone rebels against the dese
cration of her dead brother and
buries him. She is caught and there
follows a chain of events which
rocks the entire city.
When Jean Anouilh wrote and
produced this play in Paris in
1943, he symbolized in Antigone
all Frenchmen who rejected the
German “New Order.” Creon, a
persuasive dictator who sets him
self above religion and the peo
ple, represented the German rule.
The patriotic French saw in
this play, performed in the pre
sence of the German Police, a
call to colors and a re-awaking
of their basic spiritual indepen
dence.
Katherine Cornell, liking the
play, had it translated into Eng
lish by Lewis Galantiere, and the
American version appeared on
Broadway in 1940. With Miss Cor
nell cast as Antigone and Sir Ced
ric Hardwicke as Creon, the play
received wide acclaim.
The words which are put into
Antigone’s mouth do not belong
entirely to Sophocles, nor to An r
ouilh. They might find expression
in any language, might belong to
any age, to any country.
They are the basic truths of de
cency, the laws of both Cod and
man and the arguments of Creon
seem weak against such truths.

place in the party only for those
who in the most holy manner love
the Soviet Union (substitute' fol
low the party line laid down by
Moscow), the Communist party of
Bolshevicks and Comrad Stalin.”
Purge Goes On
Further, the party announced it
had thrown out 169,000 party
members in a continuing purge
since Sept. 1. The fate of the pur-
gees was not disclosed.
But all this was only the latest
of many purges, some of them—
maybe most of them—ending in
death for one-time loyal commun
ists accused of going their own
way or plotting against the party.
In Italy a number of communists
have broken away from the con
trol of Moscow and the party line
laid down by the Russians, but
since the communists aren’t in
control there these men still walk
the streets.
The point is: if you were a com
munist living in a communist coun
try, how could you ever be sure
you wouldn’t get hit with a meat-
ax tomorrow?

quainted with the campus and
the school.
And Then?
And then persuade him to enroll in A&M this summer or
