The N~t lime Y ill00 fl() ARlav ·~. It's about time someone else nlnde a few remarks -about amateur plays at Harding rather than the back row enjoyment buster who insists on rudely commenting on the actors, actresses, and director at the expense of the cash customer who paid hard ··earned money to watch and listen to the play. This thing has reached the point where a theater-goer has to put up with editorial comment·s from sotne jokers all around him who don't have enough tale!lt th.emselves to get their legs in a cast, much less try to s·teal the s~tow from the audience ··by going through burlesque action and slap stick jok~swhile a performance is going on. "The Yellow Wallpaper," a psychological drama woven around the mind of a pitiful'ly insane doctor's wife, directed by nob Roe, was one of the most entertaining, thought provoking piece~;~ of drama presented on the .Harding stage in ·a number of years. Dixie Smyth and Paul Vale.nt.ine played their parts in a professional manner and for the most part kept the aud~ence gripped throughout the evening. 'But, there were those would-tbe– commedians in the audience who constantly slammed the thespians, di– rector and plot··with slanderous·wit and boring t'emarks-to the disgust of patrons around them who .were really interested in seeing 'What they paid '- to see. The Bison believes that there is a p:lace and time for such actions, and has no idea of creating any social reforms; or f,or that matter bringing– this problem up again, for there are some people hel'e that witll listen to nothing but force anyway. And who knows, maybe a poke in the nose by an aggravated customer in a·case such as this won't ·be out of place at all– not even at Harding.
