Dr. Irving C. Stover recently expressing appreciation for student interest in campus theatrical work revealed that all but eleven activities tickets issued were punched for reserve seats for the two recent performances of "Arsenic and Old Lace." "Formerly," he said, "we reserved some of the best seats for town audiences, but now nothing is too good for the students." In selecting plays, Dr. Stover explained, the speech department attempts to select works which will both interest students and bring to Stetson a high quality of literature. Story of "The Silver Cord," debating the comparative strength of bonds between a mother and her son and the bonds between man and wife, deals with a wealthy widow, Mrs. Phelps (Helen Doris McCormick), and her struggle to keep two sons dependent upon her. Unable to bear the idea of sharing her boys with other women, she maliciously begins a campaign of lies and trickery to drive the young women out of her sons' lives until each is forced to choose between his mother and the girl he has chosen for his wife. Jack Causier and Jimmy Smith are cast as the sons. Flonnie Anders and Edith Miller play the women they love, while Barbara Rotereau takes the part of the maid. On the production staff are Annette Bolton, Edith Marie Gardner, Alyce Cowart, Shirley Moore, Pat Fugle, Ed Cooper, Harold Mitchell, Orien Farrell, Jimmy Smith, J. T. Burdine, Dick Mansur, and Bud Ware. Dr. Stover and Mrs. Virginia Giffin are directing. ... of "The Silver Cord" is Helen Doris McCormick, above, playing the part of a possessive mother.
