From The Hoya, Georgetown University Newspaper February 11, 1960 M &. B To Present 3 One-Act Plays Tomorrow Night The Holy Trinity Theatre curtain will go up tomorrow night at 8 :00 p.m. on the winners of the Mask and Bauble's annual One Act Play Contest. Tickets are $.75. The recipient of the first place award was A Darkness Before Death by Chris Hankinson, a junior in the college. It is a melodramatic, Western tale of the meeting of a gang of bank robbers and a newly married Mexican couple in a desert of the southwest United States. The theme of the play is action, placing a murder, a hanging, and a criminal assault all in one act. The cast, consisting of Pat Pepe, Michael Byrne, Charles Leroy, John DeSando, and Pedro Rosado, is under the direction of Robert Lyons. The red ribbon was given to John Guare's The Toadstool Boy_ It is a spoof on the show business actions of an Elvis Presley type character who is endowed with but half the talent, of the true one. He receives more attention than Elvis and his less appreciative fans "shoot him" according to M&B chief Jim McShane. Mr. Guare's play is being directed by John Coy. Marilyn Cooperman, Bob Donovan, and John Miller are among the cast. Senior honors scholar Patrick Tombeau took third out of the more than a dozen entries with his Andros -a Modern Morality Play -directed by Frank O'Brien who also stars as the leading character, Andros. Other players are Sarah Fawcett and Gabe Kajeckas. Plays Judged These three presentations were selected by a panel of judges including Mr. Donn Murphy, M&B director, Dr. Riley Hughes, and Fr. Paul A. Donovan, S.J.
