Contrast in Religious Plays Presented by Theatre, SRC
A contrast in medieval and modern religious plays was seen last night when the Student Religious council and University theatre presented "Abraham and Isaac" and "A Masque of Reason."
Both plays were in the form of dramatic readings. The 15th century Brome play, "Abraham and Isaac," is based on the 22nd chapter of the Book of Genesis. It is the story in which God, through an angel, asks Abraham to sacrifice his favorite child, Isaac.
The part of Abraham was read by Merrel D. Clubb, professor of English; Isaac by Robert Londerholm, third year law, and the angel by Carolyn Roberson, college sophomore.
The second reading, Robert Frost's "A Masque of Reason," is
probably one of the most unusual religious plays ever written. It is a modern comedy based on the Book of Job. The characters are portrayed in the present as looking into the past.
The devil, who said little but was convincing, was read by David Rosario, college junior. Rupert Murrill, assistant professor of sociology and western civilization, read the part of the Lord. Job was read by William Shore, exchange librarian, and Thyatira by Nancy Winter, former student.

Rearmament Worries Soviet
Russia ordered Serge Vinogradov, its ambassador to Paris, to return to Moscow today for urgent talks on how to stop the rearmament of West Germany.
By UNITED PRESS
Russia sent notes last night to France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Luxembourg warning that the Paris agreement to rearm West Germany violated the Geneva convention.
Vinogradov was told to return to the Soviet Capital amid these developments on rearmament:
West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and French Premier Pierre Mendes-France met at Baden-Baden, Germany in an effort to resolve differences between their countries that stand in the way of rearming the Germans.
In its newest note, the Soviet Union said the Paris pacts on German rearmament violated the Geneva protocols on the use of chemical and bacterial weapons.
Mr. Adenauer and Premier Mendes-France were not expected to be influenced by the latest Soviet threat as they turned first to the Franco-German dispute over the Saarland.
