lery Teens' first major produc¬ tion, Jean Giraudoux charming comedy, "The Madwoman o f ChaUlot."
Soon after the .first line is spoken, the tranquility of a peaceful jparis aptlag day gives way to tbe tumultous activity and the hilarious antics of a mot¬ ley crowd of fantastic, . pathetic and comical characters — all re¬ volving around tho incredible, in¬ vincible, lovable person of Coun-

teas Aurelia, known to her friends as the "Madwoman of Chaillot.'*
Watching the rehearsals one can understand that the young actor-apprentices are having fun. In talking to the director and to staff members of the Center^jone learns there is a lot rfixrfeto It than Just providing a good time for our teen-agers.
Why Ib the Center sponsoring this novel venture of a teen-age dramatic group; why are the par¬ ents supporting this activity In spite of certain demands on the family time, planning, transpor¬ tation, etc.; why are senior mem¬ bers of Gallery Players volunteer¬ ing to give many of their spare hours on week-ends and often late Into the night to help with pet construction, with costumes, property and lighting problems, and why ia Larry Kent, hard pressed as a business and family man, donating without compen¬ sation every spare- minute to the arduous task of welding 40 youngsters Into a smoothly func¬ tioning unit—a dramatic cast?
The educational values, of learning about the art of acting are many fold. Coordination of speech and movement aa well as memorization of lines are means of developing the Intellect; group discipline, called stage discipline In this field, understanding of people and of the motives which underlie their words and actions by analysis of the character you portray, and lost but not least tho concentration which must bo exercised to live and become the person which you create in be¬ half of the author — those are some of the educational features which contribute to tho develop¬ ment of our young people and guide them to the better things in life of which the pursuit of the fine arts la certainly one of the most  rewarding.
Such noble aspirations deserve the support of the entire com¬ munity, the evenings of Sept. 14 and 15, to witness and to enjoy finai result of this great com¬ bined effort and to applaud the funny plottlngs and the delightful machinations of the Madwoman and the 40 character parts who are dominated, hated or loved by this unlqut- and unforgettable figure.
