Young Actress Deplores Poor 'Technique' of Grad Students'

Glamours is a shiny satin evening grown which she filled to perfection Miss Jane Laurie settled herself on a divan backstage of the Odd-Fellows Ball in North Cambridge and signed. "A stage career doesn't permit a girl to develop her talents for sincere romance, or any romance for that matter."

"Ever since I began my theatre training in Emerson College," the young lady lead of the Forbes-Streett Theatre went on, "I've panted after men with tweed jackets, grey flannel trousers and soft a's. Now I see Law and Business School men mostly, and the association has been rather sterile."

Graduates' Technique is Bad

Miss Laurie shook her brunette head of hair in doleful pity. "I'm afraid graduate students have a lot to learn and undergraduates could probably teach it to them. At least those I used to know could have." Miss Laurie ventured that six years in the same environment regimented students, whereas "there was a freshness and originality in the techniques of some of the younger fellows from the South, from the West, and from Brooklyn."

Jane--first name free to all Harvard undergraduates--comes from Mansefield, Ohio. She has been with the Forbes-Streett Theatre for two and one half months, and will play Marle, in the group's latest production, Candle-light. She came to New England for her schooling and stayed here because she fell in love--with New England.
