This is the sort of truism that is so obvious you forget about it, have to be reminded not to take good things for granted. I received my reminder last week. During the weekend I attended “Julius Caesar’’ at the Dallas Theater Center. Since its formal opening in December, 1959, the Dallas Theater Center has earned national and international recog nition under Managing Director Paul Baker. Among the Cen ter’s awards is the 1964 Special Jury Prize of the international festival of plays at the Theatre des Nations in Paris, France — the highest award ever given an American theater company in Paris, won in competition with such famous companies as the Moscow Arts Theater, the Abbey Theater of Dublin and the Shakespeare Festival Company of England. This award was for “excel lence in total production,” and this same excellence was very apparent in “Julius Caesar.” “Total production” would be the most accurate term possible for the presentation. A cast of 74 gave crowd scenes, battles and riots an illusion of reality that would be hard for Hollywood to surpass in one of its multimillion dollar extrava ganzas. As many as sixty-odd people at once kept the action flowing across a multi level set that was easily adapted to ap pear to be Caesar’s bedroom, a market place, a battlefield, the senate chamber or the inside of a tent. Beautiful lighting aided the flow from scene to scene, moving from area to area, pin pointing close-in action here, screening covert deeds in half- light there. As a whole, it was a stopper. There was one thing that sur prised me, something that did not fit with the overall excellence of the production. When the action narrowed to two or three or half a dozen characters, things became static. Cassius and Brut us would stand and recite their lines to each other, shift posi tion, recite some more lines, all very cut-ahd-dried and mechani cal. It wasn’t just those two characters; all of the individual acting was static and mechani- Sardinia, 120 miles west of the Italian mainland, is losing its reputation as Italy’s wild and woolly frontier. Marinas, villas and luxury hotels have trans formed Sardinia’s bleakly beauti ful northeast shoreline into the “Emerald Coast.” We Really Need USED BOOKS And Are Prepared To Pay For Them Get the most for the least at LOUPOTS ‘Where Aggies Trade’ cal—at least it was in compari son to what I was used to. What I am used to is what is required of actors in the Aggie Players. As a member of the Players for almost two years, I am used to students-English ma jors, engineering majors, ag ma jors, journalism majors, any major-doing what it takes to make a play move throughout. At times they do very well; at other times, not so well. Work ing with the Players day in, day out, play in, play out, I am used to what we do and how well we do it. And while I always think it is good, I was surprised to discover that the areas in which Dallas Theater Center produc tions (at least, those I’ve seen) surpass those of the Players are those affected directly by af fluence: more money, more and better equipment (a theater de signed by Frank Lloyd Wright, for example), good people in greater numbers; and in those areas only. So, properly reminded not to take good things for granted, I am back in College Station re hearsing for another play. But, given the chance, I wouldn’t mind working with that greater affluence in Dallas some day.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual val ues. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. m&wL. jujI What has happened to this marvelous world of ours in this twentieth century of God’s grace? Mankind seems to be passing through a sea of troubles which has no counterpart in human history. There are wars and rumors of wars among the nations, and many of the nations themselves are split into warring factions, each faction striving for supremacy, and each intolerant of the views, hopes, and rights of others. The great trouble with the world is that men have forgotten God. They no longer seek spiritual guidance, but follow the vain ways of the modern world. We have become a cynical, materialistic generation. If this drift toward world tragedy and chaos is ever stopped, the churches of the world must do it. The world’s hope — our hope — is in God and His Church. He alone can save mankind from a sorrowful fate. The Church seeks to turn the hearts of men from the ways of war and fear and hate to the ways of peace and lOVe. Copyright 1966 Kcisler Adi'eriismg Service, Inc., Strasburg, Vo.
