CHOOSE SCENERY FOR DRAMATIC CLUB PLAYS

Sets for "The Violins of Cremona" and "The Witches' Mountain" by D. M. Oenslager '23--Design for Poster Also Picked

The Dramatic Club has chosen the scenery designs of Donald Mitchell Oenslager '23 of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for its two fall productions. "The Violins of Cremona" and "The Witches' Mountain", which will be given in four performances beginning November 29.

The set for "The Violins of Cremona" represents the interior of a violin shop in Italy in 1750, the color scheme being chiefly red and brown. The walls are very massive, and at the back of the stage a large shop window looks out on a street in Cremona with a "piazza" beyond.

For the Argentine play, "The Witches' Mountain", the set will show a group of houses clustered at either side of the stage with the Andes in the background. The design is chiefly in red, yellow, and blue, and is done in the Argentine style.

The club has also chosen the poster design to be used in advertising the fall plays. The winning design was made by Richard Karl Webel Jr. '23 of Brooklyn, New York, who designed the poster for "The Dragon" last fall. He has chosen as the subject the head of a "gaucho", or Argentine cowboy, on a black background.
