The first of these programs
will be presented Oct. 26 . The
group has chosen to present an

must eventually die. The program
will begin at 8 p.m. in the chapel.
No admission will be charged.
This year, Readers Theatre

Harkinson, Ann Williams, Mel-
anie Johnson, Richard Reed, and
Merle Wiseman. The group is
under the direction of Ray Hind-
man.

the lighting effects; Alan Cosby
is in charge of set construction.
"Everyman" is allegorical.
Costuming, will consist of long

CBC Choir
To Open State
Convention
The choirs of California Baptist College have been asked to
sing at the opening meeting of the
California Baptist State Convention meeting to be held at the
Riverside  Auditorium, Nov. 11.
Last year this honor was
accorded to the C.B.C. choirs
and also to the chamber singers,
who with the assistance of former
director, James Walker, received
a standing ovation.
This year the chapel choir,
under the direction of Dr. Curtis
Cheek, will present the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic" by Peter
Tchaikovsky. The choirs will be

tional. The character Death will
be masked in florescent tempora
paint.
Other productions will be undertaken by the club this year.
The kinds of productions will be
no-budget, financed by the Drama
Dept., and low-budget, financed by
the actors themselves.
A Shakespearean play, possible
Henry IV, and a rendition of
David Copperfield, as well as
small original works, will be
undertaken by the club at a later
time.
"There is an advantage in belonging to the club over belonging to the drama dept.," Reed
said. "You don't need to get
tangled up with the business office and requisition slips. We
are much more flexible, more
of an extracurricular activity.
Sort of a vigilante group. And by
The drama department is now
in rehearsal for the production of
Christopher Marlowe's play,
"Dr. Faustas." This production
will feature Noel Walker as
Faustas and Jack Lane as Me-
phistophllis, under the direction
of Bob Hughes. Walker and Land
are joined by 23 other thespians
in portraying this story.
Dr. Faustas is a very learned
man who becomes dissatisfied
with the usual life afforded by
knowledge, wisdom and prestige,
and thus turns to magic as a
possible means of attaining
happiness. He conjures Mephis-
tophilis who is an agent of Lucifer, and Mephistophilis agrees
to serve as messenger between
Lucifer and Faustis. An agreement is made whereby Faustas
receives 24 years of luxurious
living in exchange for his soul.
The remainder of the play is a
struggle between good and evil,
to see if Faustas will repent before it is too late.
