THE BATTALION
Wo Sex Please, We’re British’
Cast Displays Off-Stage
Personalities
By JULIA JONES
Getting an interview behind the
scenes during a play is better
than a circus. Actors wander
around with makeup that seems
ludicrous off stage. Heavy lines
that look faintly Chinese circle
their eyes. Pancake makeup em
phasizes the wrinkles, till the
faces look like slightly Simian
masks.
The costumes give an air of a
manequin party after the store
closes; and the people are differ
ent. They are more open, and
pardon the cliche, more drama
tic. Such as it was for Monday’s
local performance of Noel Har
rison's “No Sex Please, We’re
British.”
Take Harrison’s eyes for in
stance. They are a very dramatic
blue. Behind the makeup and the
charcoal line his eyes are big and
very kind. He says “I want to do
things that touch people. This
play is alright, it makes people
do

laugh, but I would like to
something that touches them.”
You get the impression that he
really cares, it is more than a
job. He talked about going back
to his farm in Nova Scotia. “The
next thing I am going to do is
go home and work on my album.
I have been working on it for a
year. I would rather do that than
anything, work with my music.”
He says the words “my music”
like some people would say “love”
or mother.
He says that being compared
with his father, Rex Harrison, no
longer bothers him. “It used to,
years ago, but it doesn’t any long
er.” He looks rather distracted
when saying this, as if he has
said it many times before, and
pever quite meant it.
When asked about the problem
of finding work he said, “I have
never been out of work, I’m al
ways busy doing something.” He
once had a television series; but
it is hard for even the best act
ors to find work.
In the meantime he tours in
this play and makes “his music.”
He is very patient with report
ers and the people around him.
Watching him with the cast, one
would not know who was the
star. A very nice man.
There are other members of
the cast around. They are the
perennial character actors. They
will never be stars and that is
the way they like it. One mustach-
ed actor is dressed in a pin-strip
ed suit with a red carnation in
the button hole. He tells me that
he plays the banker. In a very
British accent he told why he
was in acting. “I started to act
at age three in our local groups

in the village. When I found out
at age 14 that they paid money
for something that was so much
fun, I said that’s for me. And
I’ve been doing it ever since.”
He no longer looks like a banker
sort. More like one of the Eng
lish eccentrics the movies are so
fond of. You have seen his type
in a million late night oldies, usu
ally as the butler . . . “yes, Ma
dam, you rang.”
One lady in a red wig, who is
taking Maureen O’Hara’s part
in the play, said she got into act
ing to “overcome shyness. I am
still shy, but hand me a script
and I can do anything.”
There is also an actor, who is
playing a minor part, who claim
ed the play “is filth.” It hints
around about sex, but never comes
out and says anything. Thats
what is filthy about it.”
From the look on the faces of
the people around him, it was not
a popular view. One actress, also
wearing a red wig, said she is
“playing a hooker honey.” She
is dressed for the part, but her
face is too nice.
Perhaps the most interesting
person with the group was the
tour driver. He has been driving
buses for theater groups for four
teen years. He has worked with
many stars and seen a lot of
plays.
“Lauren Bacall is my favorite.
That lady will say anything. She
says what she thinks and noth
ing else. Not like Miss Carol
Channing.” He pronounces “Miss’
like he was saying poison. “Al
ways the star. I told her I didn’t
care if she was president.” He
reminisces about the people he
has known. “There is nobody like
theater people. The warmest, best
people around. Do anything for
you. They always treated me
good. I love tour. We’re one big
happy family.”
After tonight they will go on
to other towns. One town a night
until December 9. Everyone de
nies that the tour is a hassle.
They play games on the bus, sing,
and watch the countryside. Where
they really come alive is on the
stage, “touching

Phi Delta Gamma
Holds Initiation
WEDNESDAY
CZECH CLUB will meet at 7:30 p.m. in
Room 604 of the Rudder Tower. Travel
opportunities in Czechoslovakia this
summer will be discussed.
The first graduate women’s
honor society on campus, Phi Del
ta Gamma was initiated Saturday
night. This is the only Greek let
ter fraternal organization that
accepts women in all professions.
It is open to all women with
a bachelor’s degree who are en
rolled in graduate school, and fac
ulty and staff members who are
or have been engaged in graduate
study.
“High professional ideals, in
tellectual and spiritual friendship,
and a high degree of scholarship
achievement” were stressed as
aims of the group, according to
Jeanne S. Gessay, National Pres
ident. The motto of the organiza
tion is friendship, justice and
knowledge.
Gessay conducted the installa
tion of members and the elected
officers were introduced. Other
visiting officers were: Marcia G.
Abbott, National Vice President;
Janet K. Mahlman, Midwest Re
gional Coordinator; Vera E.
Pletcher, National Convention
Chairman; and Laverne Wachuta,
Delta Chapter Representative.
Gessay said that “Phi Delta
Gamma was a part of the wom
en’s movement” and that the rea
son for its existence was “com
munication between women on
their own campus as well as on
other campuses. We represent
many professional fields and it
affords us an opportunity to see
women in other professions and
share experiences with them.”
The local chapter, Alpha Al
pha’s officers are: Ethel Tsutsui,
president; Carol Anderson, vice
president; Bonnie Stadelman, sec
retary; Bonnie Beaver, treasurer;
Patricia Self, Registrar and Jo
sephine Berg, editor.
