THURSDAY, MEBRUARY 24, 1988 Deerfield Stagers Will Give Second Play "Crab Apple" For its second day of the current season, the dramatic group of the Deerfield Presbyterian church, betâ€" ter known as the Stagers, will preâ€" sent the comedy, "Crabâ€"apple" by Theodore Packard, on Friday eveâ€" ning, February 25, at 8:15 o‘clock at the Deerfield school gym. A presentation of contemporary American life of a family in New England, the production shows the pleasant and amusing side of famâ€" ily differences instigated by a crabby old man, which title role is played by Jirah D. Cole Jr. Mrs. James Russell portrays the role of the patient and generous wife, whose one thought it is to seek and provide happiness for her famâ€" ily. The parts of the three reâ€" strained children are taken by Mrs. E. J. Hyett, John Derby and Donâ€" ald Clark. Josephine Schessler plays the part of Paddy, a loving and mischievious Since the puppy is likely to move, a photographile flash buib, which gives an Instantancous flash of light, was used in making this sithouette.

Sm o C ce By arranging his subjects in front of this brightly illuminated sheet, the clever photographer can conâ€" struct any number of imaginative or storyâ€"telling pictures. Costume snaps are particularly interesting in silhouette, and there are possibiliâ€" ties for many humorous pictures of the "itâ€"can‘tâ€"be" variety. For instance, a juggler can be picâ€" tured keeping a dozen or two balls or bottles in the air at one time, or & camper can be pictured with two skillets, flipping a dozen flapjacks at one shot. In both these pictures, the objects to appear in the air would be cut from black papergor cardboard and pinned to the sheet at proper points. The sheet must be stretched evenly, as wrinkles will show in the pictures. Lighting behind the sheet should also be as even as possible. Five feet is a suitable distance from lamps to sheet. â€" Hecketsweiler Studio 1 8. S.

There should be sufficient light, from unâ€" shaded regular household bulbs, beâ€" hind the sheet for the "cameraman‘" to see the silhouetted images and to know when to give his "okay" signal, When the silhouette is snapped, of course, all lights must be turned off in the room which contains the camera and subject. Unless this is done, detail in the subject will show, spoiling the silhouette effect, The photographer should also be watchâ€" ful of stray light from windows, and mirrors which might catch light from the illuminated sheet and throw it toward the shadow side of the .subject.

The club was organâ€" ized two years ago for the purpose of providing an outlet for the actâ€" ing and producing ability and to create a fellowship‘ for the young peocple of the church. "Go Slow, Mary," a comedy® in three acts, was the first play, and with this in rehearsal the club had its first business meeting for definâ€" ite organization. The first presiâ€" dent was Donald Clark, and Kenâ€" neth Hunter was made director. The club then decided to give three plays a season. They preâ€" pared for this by holding classes in makeâ€"up and presenting oneâ€"act plays at the monthly meetings.

During his early years with the obâ€" servatory in 1904â€"07, Dr. Pease deâ€" signed a majority of the instruments used at Mount Wilson. In 1936, Dr. Pease announced the measurement of the diameter of a star more than two quadrillion miles. The star, Epsilon Pegasi, was found to be 100 times the size of the the famous savant declared.
