"Ecstasy" Blows Fuse

The unexpurgated version of Hedy Lamarr's Ecstasy was shown May is in the Audio-Visual Department's Sunday film series, and that revealing bit of symbolism created such a cosmic storm that a fuse blew out in the Nugget Theatre and caused a five-minute suspension of all electrical power in Hanover.

The avid students of the course-viewing their ninth and last movie of the series, and calling it work! blamed the electrical interference upon the glamorous Hedy (wife of Gene Markey '18) and the film which caused such an outcry among the country's censors. The Granite State Electric Company, more down-to-earth, blamed the failure of a transformer in a nearby sub-station.

Neatest trick of the week were the blanks passed out by the ushers, directing the students to "please check your reactions and leave them with the ushers."
