Laetare to Dramatize Award-winning Play, Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie It is time for remembering. The stage lights are dim as the curtain opens on the dark, grim Wingfield tenement apartment. Such is the setting for the Laetare Players next production. On Feb. 9-10 members of the drama club will present the Glass Menagerie, the New York Drama Critics Award-winning play which rocketed Tennessee Williams to fame in 1944. It is a memory play which takes place now, with a flashback to St. Louis in the troubled 30's. It is dimly lighted, it is sentimental, it is not realistic. The play centers around three members of one family who are each removed in their own particu lar way from the reality of the world around them. Amanda Wingfield, the mother, who will be portrayed in the double cast by Ellen Schoen and Brigid Duffy, is a woman of great but con fused vitality, clinging fran tically to another time and place. Laura Wingfield, the daughter, is played by Mary Ann Cashman and Rose Rohter. Having failed to establish contact with reality, Laura continues to live in a world of her own until she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too ex- quisitelv fragile to move from the shelf. Federation Officer Dies Miss Margarette Nolan '33. form er board member of the Mundelein Alumnae association, died Jan. 5 at Evanston hospital after a three month illness. After graduating from Munde lein, Miss Nolan took her masters degree from Loyola and has since been employed by the Cook County department of public welfare. Member of the faculty and alum nae attended the funeral services held at Our Lady of Mercy church. 4430 N. Troy street on Jan. 9. Tom Wingfield, the son and also narrator of the play, is a poet with a job in a warehouse. His nature is not remorseless, but to escape from a trap he has to act without pity.
