Actress Luise Rainer gestures expressively as she addresses fellow actors during rehearsal on April 30, 1954. She is perched on a railing with one hand grasping the rail for balance. Miss Rainer was appearing for one night only in the Pacific Lutheran College production of "Joan of Lorraine." The play by Maxwell Anderson was part of the third annual drama-music festival held in May of that year. Miss Rainer was an accomplished screen and stage actress; she had won two Academy Awards in consecutive years for The Great Ziegfeld and The Good Earth. She was quoted in the News Tribune as saying "Acting must come from the inside out--never from the outside in." (TNT 4-25-54, D-12, TNT 4-29-54, B-5)
