Frost Festival honors student plays

By Carolyn Collins | May 22, 1997

The 70th Annual Frost Play Festival returns to the stage tonight. The festival consists of a series of plays created entirely by Dartmouth students responsible for the writing, direction and performance of the works. "One Hundred Days" by Kyle Ancowitz '98, "The Perfect Woman" by Jo Weingarten '98 and "You Are Here" by Stefan Lanfer '97 are this year's winners of the Frost Play-writing Competition, which accepts one-act play submissions each winter term. The submitted scripts are further transformed by the interpretations of student directors and the personality and vitality which the student actors bring to the characters. Audiences usually enjoy the Frost productions not only for their consistently high quality, but for the experimental vigor not found in familiar dramas. This year, there are several factors to make the productions unique, other than the material itself.

Silent film 'Sadie' a success

By Arvid Nelson | May 19, 1997

As much as they would have liked to, the Hayes office, the censorship board of the 1920s, could not touch "Sadie Thompson," the 1928 silent film classic. The lack of sound was the very thing which saved the film from being cut to ribbons by the censorship boards of the 1920s -- and it was this sound that the Dartmouth Wind Symphony brought to the film on Friday in Spaulding Auditorium. In the original movie, lead actress Gloria Swanson was free to mouth off whatever she liked to her co-star Lionel Barrymore without fear of being censored.
