Journey's End

For three acts we nervously waited for the next shell to burst while the Players presented the first amateur production of the wellknown war play, Journey's End, war psychology in a dug-out. For weeks before the presentation we wondered what all the explosions were about that nightly issued forth from Webster. Those who have seen the play before, remember the vast amount of stage timing detail required for lights and bombardment. The Players' staff rose to the occasion with a perfect synchronization by means of field telephones, five-inch firecrackers, shotguns and whatnot in a realistic dugout setting built from the wreckage of deceased Sanborn Hall, realistic because it was obviously old and weather beaten. The acting demanded something more than the usual musical comedy skits and again the Players brought forth talent. All in all we felt it was the finest student production Dartmouth has ever seen.
