"ASCENT OF F6" WILL BE GIVEN IN SANDERS

FRESHMAN SMOKER SQUEEZED OUT BY POETIC TRAGEDY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

For the first time in the history of Sanders Theatre, its stained glass sanctity will be shattered by the Dramatic Club when work starts this morning to rip out all the floor seats to make way for its spring production, "The Ascent of F6," scheduled for May 2, 3, and 4.

Written by two young English poets, W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, the poetic tragedy presents the problem of creating the supposedly highest mountain peak in the world, F6, on the uniquely shaped stage, which will be extended out into the audience.

Smoker Hits Trouble

Faced with the trouble to trying to present the Freshman Smoker, planned for April 30, on the slopes of the mountain peak in Sanders Theatre, Committee Chairman John Richardson, Jr. '43 has decided to hold the affair in Memorial Hall.

With the story of a fatal expedition to scale the peak by British mountaineers, the play attempts to represent the struggle of man, the idealist, against the forces of civilization.

Three out of the four leading parts are played by Freshmen. Leonard Kent '43 will take the leading role of Sir Michael Rausom, supported by George Clay '43, Henry Monroe '43, and Jervis B. McMechan '42.

Claire Rabinowitz, of Radcliffe, will play one of the three female parts. Other students from Radcliffe and La Sallo will form an eight-part speaking chorus.
