Mary's Hour" Will Be Held At Loyola Tests Indicate Draft Status In order that local draft boards may have complete information on all draft-eligible students, all such students are urged to apply immediately to their local draft boards for application to take the scheduled deferment tests. The deadline for applications is May 15. The deferment order for enrolled college students of March 31 has not been cancelled, changed or modified. It does not relate to, nor is it in conflict with, pending UMTS legislation which will cover graduating high school students. The order does provide a yardstick to be used by local draft boards in determining the induction status of students now enrolled and provides for temporary postponement of military service as a form of occupational deferment. Junior-Senior Prom May 26th Three Performances Left of Dynamic Student Operetta Deadline Coming For Annual Short By Pat Steichman For the second consecutive year, a DePaul production of a Noel Coward operetta has provided evenings of delightful entertainment for audiences at St. Alphonsus Athenaeum. Tickets for "Conversation Piece," which opened Wednesday and will run through Sunday night, may be purchased at the door or from SAC mem- Vol. XXIX No. 25 bers for $1.25. The Athenaeum is located at Lincoln and Southport Avenues. Curtain time is 8:30 p. m. Under the skillful direction of dynamic, young Gene Pelligrini, a group of students, some with several year's of summer stock and playhouse experience, and some who had never spoken a line on a stage, were combined to form a well-knit and highly polished production. Jeanne Fox is beautiful, both in voice and appearance, in the role of Melanie. Her sense of stage "feeling," her utter absorption in the mood of the plot, and all the little variables that either break or make a performance add up to make her a superb actress. Her role is very demanding, calling for complete changes of character, sometimes in a very few moments. She turned in a vibrant, electric performance. Her sense of timing, and her sense of drama make her performance one of the highlights of the whole production.Theresa Gannon, who plays Rose, the maid, made every one of her appearances on stage an occasion for laughter. She overplayed her part with an apt sense of stage presence. Jeanne Epperson is another actress who commands a stage from the moment she makes her entrance until she leaves. She so completely loses herself in the character of Lady Julia, that she assumes the traits of the character. As Lady Julia is a commanding and impressive figgure, so Jeanne Epperson becomes a commanding and impressive figure. Jennie Labon. Sarabell Evelien, and Carol Grant turned in convincing performances as women of the town. Having scattered orchids all over the female members of the cast, we must not overlook the men. Evan Moyer as Paul, and Miles Lynch as the Duke of Benedert were the epitome of fine acting. Len Stenson gave a portrayal of a young British nobleman that Was capable and sensitive. Evan Moyer is a graduate of summer stock and playhouses. He played his role intensely. I could fill this page with superlatives and not give an adequate description of his performance. "Conversation Piece" is topflight entertainment. Don't miss it
