Plucky 'Guys'a winner
By EVIE RAPPORT
Contributing Writer

For sheer, goodhearted exuberance, a hard to surpass the American musical. No matter how flimsy the plot or shallow the characters, the breezy charm of a good musical wins over all but the most hardened grumps.
So it is with "Guys and Dolls," which opened Friday in University Theatre, the third of the summer's three productions in a series that The Continuing American Revolution.
In fact, it's only the breezy charm and the music of Frank Loesser that keeps this show going so strong. Based on characters created by Damon Runyon in a flood of
Review
short stories he wrote during the late 1920s and early 1930s "Guys and Dollas," as a work of pertinent social comment, was sadly outdated when it was first produced in 1950. The wonderful irrelevance of such characters as Harry the Nicey, Nicey and Jem, and John is ammonia in this age, when we become glut and self-conscious.
These characters inhabit a world of racing forms, dizzy blondes and marks—"Girl on a boat," "A boy about a harried, small-time gambler named Nathan Detroit and his attempts to find a place for his business." The Oldest Game in the Ancient Floating Crap Game in New York.
A lesser placer concerns Detroit's fiance, Adelaide, a second-rate chore who's been engaged for 14 years and has, consequently, developed psychosomatic symptoms caused by neglect and feelings of inferiority.
Then there's the serious romantic interest—the improbable love of Sky Masterson, famed for his brilliant gambling skills. The game is a determined but luckless mission worker.
Surrounding these four principals is a host of sidekicks, out-of-town toughies, firm-jointed missionaries and assorted counter-betts who counter-bets brings the action to a climax, and all ends happily – but not before brass, romantic or comic scenes.
Joe Krause is fine as the belegued, easily fhrended Nathan Detroit, who suddenly finds his life out of control as big-time players and a frustrated woman close in on him.
Carl Packard, as Sky Masterson, is vocally the strongest member of the cast, with a rich full baritone over which he has absolute control. He sings "I've Never Been Strong" and "You've Been Strong," a vigor and forcefulness that match the self-confidence he projects with every move.
Victoria Stephens plays Adelaide, the frustrated choreine with a charming blend of wit and sassiness. "Adelaide's Lament" is at once pitiful and sassy in her performance; when she adds the Hot Box Girls"I'm Bushel and a Peck," she takes the bushel and a Peck" and "Take Back Your
Alumna leaves KU Endowment $275,000 gift
A total of $275,000 from the estate of F. McQuarrie of Law, a university of Kansas graduate, has been given to the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, has been given to the University of Kansas Endowment Association, Todd Seymour, grant of the association, said last week.
The Chancellor and the Endowment Association executive committee would have to approve any request before funds could be used, he said.
The Endowment Association will have half of the bequest or its unrestricted-use money paid into the fund. They are used to help students available for a project such as when a special opportunity may be offered to a department after the department's budget is received.
The other half of the $275,000 was divided equally between two funds, Seymour said. One fund is for scholarships and the other is for eight students travel in the United States.

senior, has been named to the American Musicians Associations "Outstanding Artists" for the second year in a row.
Mink," some of the funniest moments of the evening are achieved.
Lori Malin is Sarah Brown, the mission worker, and it's不便咐 that she is matched against Packard's powerful voice in several tendrils song. Her voice lacks control and range, but her sweet face and charming compensate somewhat for that weakness.
Marshall Fine and Beauford K. Woods have the graffiting chore of playing comic character roles, and they play them to the fullest. As Benny Sunshine Street, Fire is ready, but he isn't ready for the be of no help at all to Detroit as he scrabbles on a way out of the mess he's in.
Woods's Nicely-Nicely Johnson is well done. As a gluking hulk with an irritating nasal whine, he's a sharp contrast to Fine's more easy-going and casual Benny and the Woods sing "Fuge for Tinnahs" and "Guns and Dolls" and their deadpan shuffle in the latter is definitely delightful. "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat," sung by Woods and the chorus, as a high-spirited revival meetings and pious moralists.
Among the other generally strong performances are William Balfour as Big Jule, a graff gambler who's ready for some trouble. He's played by Horse, a jumpy go-between; Barbara Allen Wasson and Dedresser as two of the Hot Box girls who have a zany bit about an earring, and William Hail, as Sarah's

Tom Rex's directing is unobtrusive and capable. He gets the actors on and off the stage and keeps them moving sensibly during the songs, which is no small trick in a musical. George Bober directs the small orchestra, which is likewise capable.
Altogether, "Guys and Dolls" is a marvelous evening of fun, brightened by good music. The book's title is "It's subtitled 'A Musical Fable of Broadway,' and it lives up to it. It's as simple and undemanding and straightforward as the book's subtitled worth a trip to Murphy Hall to see.
