COED'S CORNER
'Bee' Begins Play Acting Early; Brings Helena To Life In 'Dream'
The part of Helena, the spurned maiden, in "Midsummer Night's Dream" was definitely a character role for Bernice "Bee" Brady, which demanded make-up and some good acting.
"Bee," a freshman with a perky smile, bright brown eyes, and short, curly hair, had enough acting experience and ability to handle the situation. Her past is a past of plays.
In the 7th grade at Wichita, she began her dramatics study under a drama coach. During high school, she had leading roles in such plays as "Quality Street," "Pygmalion," "You Can't Take It With You," and "Arsenic and Old Lace."
"My favorite was 'Arsenic and Old Lace,' she said. "I gloried in my part as one of the old maids who was cuckoo on the subject of arsenic in their tea for their male visitors. I'll never forget the trouble the cast had getting the numerous properties onto the stage. In our nervous condition, we set the table without a table cloth during one of the important scenes. To cap the climax, someone forgot the vital arsenic bottle."
Her first Shakespearean role was "Love-lorn Helen."
"It turned out to be a big thrill, not terrifying. Most people are a little afraid of Shakespeare, because he is so glorified. We need to realize that he wrote for people like us." "Shakespeare's humor is marvelous. I like his method of presenting different sets of characters and situations, his plays within plays. It gives the spectators a chance to pick his favorite situation.
"In the future, I hope to play in more of 'Bill's' plays. Folks think one has to read him like poetry. That's a mistake! The actor should speak the lines like ordinary script with an emphasis on meaning, and the rhyme will come out right."
Her major is speech and drama-
ies. She would like to do professional work when she is graduated.
"The field is hard to get into," she comments. "Perhaps, I'll take a stab at radio or playwrighting."
"Bee" has a twin brother, Bowen,
who is attending K. State.
"We are not a bit alike, even in looks," she says. "He is silent—I gabble. He makes such marvelous grades that it's demoralizing. Our common meeting ground is our passion for apples and our love for waltzing.
"He doesn't like to act as I do. In fact, not one in our family has ever been interested in the stage, except my grandmother who had a fondness for writing and directing church plays. But she wasn't like me because she didn't like Shakespeare."
