Staff Writer
New York City and Broadway life in the '20s is being brought to Kansas by the University of Kansas" summer theater festival production of "Guy's and Dolls."
"Guys and Dolls" was written by Damon Runyon, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist from New York.
The show, directed by Tom Rea, associate director of the University Theatre, is the first musical, but last production, of the theater's summer season. It is also part of a continuing plan to include the Lawrence community in the theater, Rea said.
"Although I dislike using the word typical" as a label for anything, I find no better way to describe 'Guy's and Doll's as a theater piece," Rea said yesterday. "It is a
typical contemporary American musical comedy."
The play revolves around four main characters. Sarah Brown, played by Lori Mortensen, is a social worker, spreading the gospel word and reforming gamblers. She falls in love with gambler Sky Masterson, played by Carl Hennessey, Oceanside, Cailidra, graduated student.
Adelaide, a singer and dancer in night clubs, is played by Victoria Stevens, Pacific Palisades, Calif., senior. She has been trying to get Nathan Detroit to marry her daughter, Alexandra Krause, Trenton, N.J., graduate student, is finally led to the altar at the end of the play.
"Guys and Doll's" features the songs "A Bushel and a Peck," "I've Never Been in Love Before" and "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat."

Lovers share nothing, everything

Asked by Cesar (Yves Montand) what she shared with a former lover, Rosale (Komi Yamada), whom he was everything "David (Sami Frey), the lover in question, has just returned from a hiatus of five years, Rosale's response seems willfully ambiguous. In truth, it is a precise

In the face of Cesar's behavior, no wonder Rosalie runs to David. He is a cartoonist who has nothing, but he isn't so possessive. Unfortunately, it's less agreeable than that. David is nearly self-sufficient, regarding Rosalie as a valuable companion, while making it coolly obvious that he can survive without her.

antithesis of the reserve he displays in much of his other work. And it is Montand who makes Cesar's erratic turtles believable in a way that the script does not.
When Rosalie can get no more specific about her past with David, C萨ran rants tactlessly, "I ask a question, you answer. That's life." When he quickly follows with, "What?" When he asks again because he regrets what he's said, but because he is trying to disguise his fears.

ROMY SCHNEIDER's enigmatic beauty and Sami Frey's dark sincerity are enough to balance the other arms of the triangle. What is notable, though, is the natural, intelligent comic style that the trio contribute.
"Cesar and Rosalie" achieves a fragile balance between comedy and poignant melancholy that could be destroyed by a miscalculation on the part of the actors.
If the character of Rosalie is the soul of the film, it is the acting of Yves Montand that gives it heart. Montain plays his role in a blustery, whole-hog manner that is the
For example, at one point Cesar "confesses" to David that he is marrying Rosalie because she is pregnant. Only when he further lies that he once killed a man who ignored a similar warning does the scue be found. He was then tempered by the viewer's recognition of the desperation that drives Cesar to say such things.
This same equilibrium is maintained from the delightful opening scenes at the wedding of Rosalie's mother to the touching truce made between Cesar and David after they had been saying farewell to either of them. If the story is slight, it is still thoroughly involving.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
Our subject today is JOSEPH'S BONES. "AND JOSEPH SAID UNTO THE BRETHREN, I'D;E AND GOD WILL SURELY VISIT YOU AND BRING YOU OUT OF THIS LAND UNT TO THE LAND WHICH HE SWORE TO ABRAHAM, TO ISAAC, and TO JOCABI"
`AND JOSEPH TOOK AN OATH OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
SAYING, WOD will SURELY VISIT YOU, AND YE SHALL CARRY UP
MY BONES FROM HENCE. SO JOSEPH DIED BEING AN HUNDRED
SIXTH DAY, THEY EHMBALMED HIM, and HE WAS MAID
IN A COFFEE IN EGYPPT.
" AND MOSES TOOK THE BONES OF JOSEPH WITH HIM, FOR HE HAD STRAIGHTLY SWORN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, SAYING, GOD WILL SURLIE YESTUDY YOU; AND YE SHALL CARRY UP MY BONES HENCE WITH YOU."
"AND THE BONES OF JOSEPH, WHICH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BROUGHT UP OUT OF EGYPT BURIED THEY IN SHECHEM IN A PARCEL OF GROUND WHICH JACOB BOUGHT OF THE SONS OF HAMOR THE FATHER OF SHECHEM. AND IT BECAME THE RESPIRITANCE OF THE CHILDREN OF JOSEPH." *Onchite* Respirits of the above: Genesis 32:48-26; Exodus 13:19 (24:32)
In this physical world our bones are our most enduring part. If one or more of them are broken, or go bad life is terribly affected. Thinking about Joseph's concern and attention on his physical bones suggests attention to his "spiritual bones" of character, purity, holiness (without holiness no man shall see The Lord). Get familiar with the details of Joseph's life and you will find over and over again the connection between the spiritual bones and the moral commitment — "But that or whose skin him." (Matthew 12:3). And they shall bear His Name Emmanuel, who is interpreted as God, with us.
"RIGHTHEUSOENESS EXALTETHE A NATION. BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE" Prov. 14:34. Consider this one of Joseph's Spiritual Bones as indicated by this statement in Genesis 37:1. "And Joseph brought unto his father their evil report."
"Does not the following quote indicate a 'POWERFUL BONE OF PURITY' in JOSEPH'S SPIRIT BODY: "AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THESE THINGS, THAT HIS MASTER'S WIFE CAST HE EYES UPON JOSEPH; AND SHE LIE, WITH ME. BUT HE REFUSED, AND SAID UNTO HIS MASTER'S WIFE, BEOHOLD, MY WASTER MOTTEN NOT WHAT IS WITH ME IN THE HOUSE, AND HE HATH COMMITED ALL THAT HE HATH TO MY MAND; THERE IS NOKE GREATER IN THIS THAN I; NEITHER HATH HE KEPT HIS FRIEND, OR HAS BEEN WAITING FOR HIM, WIFE; HOW THEN CAN I DO THIS GREAT WICKEDNESS, and SIN AGAINGST GOOD", and she caught him by the gambit, saying, lie with me; and he left his gambit in her hand, and fled, and got him out!" Genesis 39:7-12.
After Joseph had been Governor over all the land of Egypt for seven years famine came on. Read Genesis chapter 47:13-26 and note his strong "Spiritual Bones" of Authority, Compassion, Mercy, Faithfulness to His God and People as well as to Pharaoh and Egyptians. Am quoting several verses showing how he handled matters — God with him — verse 13, etc. AND THERE was NO MASS OF HANDS, NOT TO THE LAND OF EGYPT; AND THAT THE LAND OF EGYPT AND ALL THE LAND OF CANAN, FAINTED BY REASON OF THE FAMINE, AND JOSEPH GATHERED UP ALL THE MONEY THAT WAS FOUND IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND IN THE LAND OF CANAN, FOR THE CORN WHICH THEY BOUGHT; AND JOSEPH BROUGHT THE MONEY INTO PARAHOH'S HOUSE, AND WHEN MONEY FAILED IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND IN THE LAND OF CANAN, FOR THE CORN WHICH THEY BOUGHT; AND SAID, GIVE U S BREAD; FOR WHICH BOUGHT IN THY PRESENCE? FOR THE MONEY FAILETH, AND JOSEPH SAID, GIVE YOUR CATTLE; AND I WILL GIVE YOU FOR YOUR CATTLE, IF MONEY FAILT."

and dry bones."
