As Homecoming Play By Little Theatre 1 - By FRED FISCHER The Mew York Times review of the opening night of "Guest in the House" said, "An engrossing.play about a suburban couple who give houseroom to a female guest and. live to wring their hands ■ in-'anguish. Shrewdly written, dextrously acted,-it is likely to give you the horrors before the authors'and actors dispose of the menace. If they had shown any sign of /letting the little monster escape from the scene of her crimes, the first-night audience would have rushed up on the stage and torn her limb from limb. Hedda Gabler is a country milk-maid beside dear ■ little Evelyn. ] "Guest in the Bouse" crackles with terror and takes high rank as a heebie-jeebie show." Such were the rave notices of the newspapers and radio broadcasts on the opening of the "Guest in the House" which has been chosen as the Homecoming play this year by the Stover Little Theatre. It is the story of an artist (Jim Davis) and wife (Marilou Horton) who are devoted to each other and live a settled peaceful life until they have a houseguest, Evelyn Heath (Jackie Wood). The guest ■brings turmoil, jealousy, bitterness and disgrace with her when she falls in love with her host. Her treacherous soul and warped mind bring a lurid interpretation to the slightest kindness.' There is an eerie quality to the play brought about by the intangible gossip which comes up like a hurricane to almost wreck the stable reputation of a solid citizen.- Among the others in the .cast are Barbara Giffin as the young daugh- (Continued on Page Two) The Rev. Melton Ware Ghapel Speaker ' Tells of UN Fears In observance of United .Nations Day, October 24, the special speaker in chapel was The Rev. Melton Ware, minister of the First Methodist Church of Vero Beach. Rev. Ware opened his discussion of world order and peace by recalling the-hopes and dreams of the world at the founding of the United Nations in 1945, but noted that these soon turned into disillusionment and fears. As an answer to these fears, the speaker offered sound convictions upon which to determine our actions; western civilization probably will not survive another war, this is truly One World, and the consequences of war-and ■ strife are the results, of man's disregard of the moral law 'behind the universe. Realizing these things, he continued, if we will, set up standards that are wise and good, the forces of the universe will be behind us. Rev. Ware concluded his talk by reminding young Christians that they must accept the responsibility with clear vision, steadfast hearts, and vigorous action, since building the foundations of world order is essentially a religious task. During the late war the speaker served as chaplain three year in 'the European theater. World Federalists Form Chapter Here The newjy formed Stetson chap-, ter of. the United World.
