Prop men of the Harvard Theater Workshop produced halberds and horses on short notice in the past, but the current production of Troilus and Cressida, slated for the boards on December 8, they have run into a stone wall.

They are looking for "the absolute of sex in feminine flesh." Or more exactly, they are searching for the properly lascivious features that are required of Helen of Troy as the Bard envisioned her.

Aspirants for this goddess role, Promotor Jerome Kilty '49 announced yesterday, will be considered by mail, as a precaution to insure intellectual judgement. They should write the Harvard Theater Workshop at its Brattle Hall Theater home.

Other Charmers, Too

This hunt, Kilty and co-promoter Peter Temple '46 2B affirm, casts no reflection upon the charm of the two other major female characters already selected, Jan Farrand as Crossida and Jeannie Tufts as Cassandra.

Neither, however, can be compared to Helen of Troy, about whom historians differ. Whether her face launched or on the contrary sank a thousand of Agamemnon's ships is still a meet point.
