Backstage Is Quiet

Cleveland Players on Move
"Should I call 15?," the woman dressed as a maid called to the stage manager.
"Not yet, we're going to have to wait awhile," he replied. "It's pretty thin out there."
The woman peeked around the curtain to look out at the auditorium and nodded in agreement. She walked back to the dressing room.
On backstage Hoch Auditorium, the Cleveland Playhouse prepared itself to present George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man."
Richard Harrison, an assistant manager, checked his lighting board with a paperback copy of the play. He marked places where various sequences would take place.
Susan Sadler, who played Louka,
asked him where everyone was.
Across the stage, Harrison said Miss Sadler walked across the stage and came back two minutes later.
"Across the stage," Harrison said.
"I should have brought my roller skates," she panted.
"This is one of the largest places we've played in," Harrison said.
The Playhouse left Cleveland on Oct. 1 to tour in the middle and far west. They move to Nebraska City, Neb., next, on to Missouri, then South Dakota and Iowa, returning to Cleveland Dec. 9.
"It's not bad," Harrison said of the jumping around the group does. "We've had good weather and you get into a pattern unloading and loading the scenery."
The Playhouse has a large amount of equipment to carry. They have three plays in repertory calling for varied settings. Besides "Arms and the Man," the troupe performs Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" and Sean O'Casey's "Pictures in the Hall." The plays are performed on alternate nights.

"He's the campus dog," she exclaimed. "Everybody knows him." She walked him off across the stage showing him off to the rest of the troupe.

It was close to curtain time. Harrison started the background music and finished dressing himself as the officer. Orison Bedell, the other assistant manager, called up to the control man to shut off the stage lights.
The bedroom scene progressed with Raina and her mother. When they came off the stage they lit cigarettes and talked about the acousties which had, apparently, thrown them for a bit.
At the end of the first act the cast pitched in to help set up the garden scene. Miss Sadler picked up a clothes basket and hung clothes on the line. Harrison and Bedell stapled the carpet together for a new arrangement of scenery.
Then he ordered:
"House lights out, please," and pulled the curtain up.
During the second act one of the understudies took out some contemporary cards and wrote them off to friends.
Michael McGuire, who played Captain Bluntschi, paced up and down the floor nearby, drawing quickly on his cigarette. Miss Finnell placed her hands behind her back and leaned on the bed which had been carried off.
"What's it like?," an actor asked two men sitting in the audience judging sound.
Miss Finnell peered intently at her nails, trimming them when she was off the set. McGuire continued to pace, lifting his legs straight up and out on the floor. His cigarette blazed.
After the second act Harrison and Bedell began to pack up. But as the act progressed, Bedell fell asleep on a table and Harrison read a book.
"It's coming out fine." they said.
Near the play's end, Harrison relaxed in a chair and listened to the lines. He laughed at Captain Bluntchili's method of proposing to Raina.
Campus Enrollment Passes 10,000 Mark

The play ended with Blunttschili's exit. Harrison picked up his hammer and headed for the set. Nebraska was calling.
Aldon Bell, instructor of history, will speak on "Religion and Radicalism" at the Humanities Forum tonight at 7:30 in the Oread Room of the Kansas Union. Mr. Bell's talk will deal with aspects of the radical movement among non-conformist Englishmen in the 19th century.
For the first time in the University's history, campus enrollment has passed the 10,000 mark, it was reported today by James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions.
Enrollment increased 734 this fall totaling 10.059. The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City adds 732 students for a total of 10.571 this year.
Radicalism Is Forum Topic
The new student total of 3,592 includes 2,119 freshmen.
Hitt noted that "we're just filling the pipeline now and the University will have large enrollment increases the next two years even without any change in the number of new students."
THIS YEAR THERE ARE actually 94 fewer juniors and seniors than in 1950 with most of the changes in the senior class, Hitt explained, while the freshman-sophomore total of 4.-424 is up nearly 600.
"This year and next we'll be graduating small classes compared to the size of the large incoming classes." Hitt said. "When the pipeline is filled in 1964, those born in the first post-war year of 1946 will reach college age and new student totals may suddenly dwarf anything yet experienced."
The number of women at the University continues to rise more sharply than the men's gain. Of the 734 gain on the Lawrence campus, the women produced 434.
UNIVERSITY enrollment by schools is:
By classes, the Lawrence student body is: freshman, 2,621; sophomore, 1,803; junior, 1,624; senior, 1,787; post-graduate, 2,084; and special students, 140.
Education, 1.000; Medicine, 801; Fine Arts, 639; Business, 369; Law, 135;
Pharmacy, 86; and Journalism, 82.
Significant gains were registered in the College, up 686; Graduate School, up 208; and Education, up 123.
U.N. Celebrates 16th Anniversary
The concert is a highlight of a nationwide series of special events observing the 16th anniversary of the official establishment of the United Nations. Many communities are holding events throughout the week.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UPI)
-Delegates celebrate United Nations Day today with an anniversary concert in the general assembly hall.
Sir Ernest Macmillan will conduct the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation symphony orchestra in the concert beginning at 3 p.m. Assembly President Mongi Slim of Tunisia will address the audience on the occasion.
This is the eighth U.N. Day to be celebrated by a concert here. Most English-speaking U.N. delegates of the 101 missions have been asked to make speeches at various places during the week.
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson was the speaker at a public meeting in San Francisco, where the U.N. charter was framed in 1945. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, chairman of the board of the American Association for the United Nations, planned to interrupt a heavy speaking schedule to attend the concert here.
U. N. day and week were originated by the AAUN in 1946.The AAUN is the major U.S.membership organization designed to build U.S.citizen support for the world organization.
As part of the observance here, the International League for the Rights of Man sent to the permanent representatives of the 101 missions its annual report on a balance sheet for the forward and backward steps for human rights.

Picasso Art Expresses Modern Look in Man
He commenced the long struggle not to express what he could see but not to express the things he did not see, that is to say the things everybody is certain of seeing but which they do not really see.
This is a quotation from Gertrude Stein, an American writer in Paris who knew Picasso before anybody else did. That was at the beginning of this century. Ever since, the Spanish born painter has been at the head of artists who discovered the 20th century look in man, nature and events. Picasso changes his style every so often, he is always fresh and new, and always the same Picasso, Blue, pink, and Harlequin periods, Cubism and Surrealism are among the main directions of his art. At the age of eighty he surprises his admirers still by his continued productivity.
Picasso's paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures are now in public and private collections all over the world, from Sweden to Japan, from Russia to Argentina. American museums own many of his major works. Most everyone has seen a Picasso although almost nobody has seen Picasso.
The man who has changed modern vision more than anybody else defends his privacy in a retreat near the French Riviera. As a radical leftist he is not admitted to this country, cannot see his own works here and yet one of his pictures was ridiculed this summer by Khrushchev himself; he is indeed out of the party line. Modern man has to face many a paradoxical situation, Picasso as much as anybody.
A classic already at 50, he could see the illustrated catalogue of his complete works growing from volume to volume: twelve folios so far to cover the first quarter of the century. Moreover, 500 hitherto unrecorded pictures from the
early period in the artist's own collection are said to be shown tomorrow for the first time; Picasso's Picassos are his birthday surprise to his friends.
At many places the event will be celebrated. KU's Museum of Art is showing a selection of the master's prints. Tomorrow night at 7:30 and at 9:30 the much praised Picasso film will be presented there, and at 4 p.m. Klaus Berger, Professor of Art History, will give an illustrated lecture on Picasso and Tradition. Prof. Berger tells us that he has actually seen Picasso in the flesh vouching for the fact that he is neither a legendary figure nor an invention of art dealers.
