'HighTor' Set
Could Easily
Steal Show
The technical crew for the fall
quarter play, "High Tor;" have com­pleted
the main prop: a steam
shovel.
The script of the play puts two
gangsters in the bucket part of a
steam shovelj hanging- over the
edge of a cliff.
Most of the work on this set has
been done by Mark Flanders, speech,
technical director of the play, and
Jack Rose, senior, stage manager.
The actual construction was done in
about two hours; the planning took
many weeks.
SHOVEL PROBLEM
Flanders describes the building of
the steam shovel as "the biggest
problem, with the biggest reward."
He recalls that'in the original re­views-
of "High Tor," this set was
referred to as the "leading actor."
He warns the actors that the shovel
could easily steal the show.
fe Laurence Brewster, director, has
"his to say of the set: "I can't think Iof any other play with such an in­teresting
set. The scene with the
two individuals in the bucket is one
pf the funniest in modern dramatic
literature."
I Luther' Movie
Coming Here
"Martin Luther," a full length
film dealing with the story of the
16th century monk who defied ex­communication
and thev stake in his
demand for religious reforms, will
• be shown in Bellingham at the Mt.
Baker theatre November 15 through
The film was produced in West
Germany by Louis de Rochemont
Associates in cooperation with Luth­eran
Church Production, Inc. The
Hcowns, castles, and churches of
Western Germany were utilized by
the director, Irving Pichel, as an
authentic backdrop for the story.
WELL ENDORSED
"Martin Luther" has a wide en­dorsement
by Protestant churches of
many denominations and by his­torians.
feD^. Keith Murray, WWC History
partment, stated when interview-with
relation to "Martin Luth­er,"
that insofar as he knew the
picture was semi-documentary and
that it could be recommended for
pits background material (authentic
scenes of the middle ages in Ger­many).
Dr. Murray further stated,
"The actual story is controversial
f but the film is of value to history
students because of the realistic
|T background."
The script is based upon both
Lutheran and Catholic sources and
leans heavily on historical docu­ments
for its dialogue. The support
of museums in Berlin, Mainz, Wies­baden,
and Brettan was enlisted for
authentic costuming and the re­construction
of scenes such as the
Diet of Worms and the Diet of Augs­burg.
The music was furnished by
the Munich Philharmonic orchestra
with an original score by Mark
Lothar of the Bavarian State
theatre.
