Arts and Crafts Fair continues today
By DOUG GRAHAM

If a person cares to get nailed,
potted, or drawn and Aggie quar
tered, the Arts and Crafts fair being
held through today by the Rudder
Fountain is the place to go.
Artists, whether students, fac
ulty, staff, or spouses of the forego

fake-fur worms and other novelties,
to pottery and stained glass, to
‘Pajama Tops’ performance
is dinner theater at its best
By DOUG GRAHAM
Battalion Staff
Pity those who won’t be able to
acquire tickets to “Pajama Tops.”
They will be missing dinner thea
ter at its best.
The Aggie Players are presenting
the three-act farce in conjunction
with the Summer Programming
Committee and have done a great
job.
The play, which is a bedroom
farce based on the original French
play MouMou by Jean de Letraz,
revolves around the attempts of a
French businessman, Georges
Chauvinet, to conceal his mistress
from his wife. Under the impression
that his mistress is one of her hus
band’s associates, Yvvone
Chauvinet sends an invitation to the
mistress, who is unaware her lover
is married.
Meanwhile a childhood chum of
Georges, a gay poet, shows up,
needing to spend the night.
ningly acted by Christine Warren,
who wants to become a big-time
hooker.
Debbie Ellis, as the mistress and
Sheree Kemp, as the wife, play
their parts well. Ellis looks appro
priately mistress-like, and Kemp fits
her role as an amorous wife.
James Hall, playing the retiring
old inspector whose cry upon being
teased was, “if only I were 20 years
younger,” is truly good. His old man
is a true old man.
The weakest link in the play is
Charlie Andrews playing the forger,
Jacques, who in reality is the hus
band of the mistress, Babette.
Though he is by no means a bad ac
tor, Andrews’ French accent some
times slips out of gear, and his por
trayal is a bit mixed. His character
needs a tighter presentation.
The set is well conceived and
open. All tables have good views of
the stage, seperate from it, yet close
enough to maintain the play’s illu
sion.
No food was served the opening
night, but the play is good enough
to keep you laughing even if you are
served only an overcooked ham
burger with soggy french fries.
drawings, prints and nail sculpture.
Many of the artists were at their
first Aggie craft fair. They had vari
ous reasons for selling their art.
Marla Hendricks, a graduate stu
dent in Bioengineering, displayed
her macrame and pottery along with
her husband’s hand-crafted jewelry.
She said she was “just getting it out
of the house.”
Gladys Stone, 62, from the Uni
versity’s food services department,
displayed various novelty crafts, in
cluding fake-fur worms and an Aggie
quarter. The quarter consisted of a
washer with three pennies and a .22
caliber shell attached to it. She said
she simply enjoyed mixing with the
young people and kept her worms
low-priced (50 cents) so children
could buy them.
Other artists sold jewelry and pot
tery, but one of the most unique
crafts was Click East’s nail qrt. He
bends horseshoe nails and binds
them with fine copper wire to make
jewelry.
He said he first saw art being
made from nails during his travels to
Rome.
Though most artists said they
enjoyed just being out in the fair,
some made a comment like Geneva
Baker’s, a vet student’s wife, “Cam
pus art shows are good, but people
aren’t willing to pay the prices that
they are worth.”
LOOK!!
Review
Georges drafts him to pose as the
husband of his mistress to allay his
wife’s suspicions.
And things get more complicated
from there.
But masterful acting keeps every
thing from becoming too confused.
Bruce Monroe as the poet,
Leonard, and David Campbell, as
Georges Chauvinet, should receive
kudos for their acting.
Georges is the perfect busi
nessman, with his precise mus
tache, erect posture, and frenetic
machine-like gesturing when exasp
erated.
Monroe, though, handles a much
more difficult character. A busi
nessman’s character is more clear
cut than that of a homosexual. In
stead of doing the obvious and minc
ing around, Monroe uses a balanced
approach that is mildly efieminate
without being offensive. This makes
him seem even more comic when,
at the end of the play, he finally
sleeps with a woman.
The only clue he has to her iden
tity is that she is wearing only a
pajama top, hence the name of the
play.
It turns out he has slept with the
Chauvinet’s maid, Claudine, win-
