A bank manager, Joseph Kay, is the guinea pig of the law which finds Kay guilty before the trial. He was sentenced to prison, and the investigators can't tell him what he has been doing. He doesn't know. The investigators just follow orders from their superior, the examining commission.
The acting by the National Players was truly professional. It maintained a steady, lively pace and was difficult considering the play.

law is too powerful and people are not allowed to question the law.
JOSEPH LEWIS displayed his directing skills in the handling of two scenes in particular—the first was just like Kay, a servant to the law, and the trial scene. The priest gave his advice in Biblical times by asking that he be as the omnipresent organ music added to the grotesqueness of the scene. The trial scene was animated by the placement of characters was vital. The relatives of Kay lined the stage with the investigators standing under paintings of "the irony was always present."

If George C. Scott wins another Oscar for "The Hospital" as the marquee at the Granada prowess, it won't be because of his bad luck. This is the latest effort by writer Paddy Chaykesy, he is about the only
Book Awakens Awareness Of Kansas' Diverse Beauty
Many Americans, especially those living on the coasts, have distorted mental image of the United States. In their mind's eye the country is a gigantic landfill. It is a vast Midwest in general is the "hole."
FORTUNATELY, not all Kansans are so insensitive to the
By LEONARD GROTTA
This coastal-chauvinism has long been the prevalent attitude towards Kansas. One or two weeks of fields of wheat or vast, empty stretches of prairie have come to symbolize Kansas. Even residents of the state have not been immune to this notion that the beauty of Kansas is an interest (let alone scenic beauty). They drive down 400 miles of highway I-70 without ever taking their eyes off the white line, quite possibly on the scenic wonders of Colorado.

Differences in Tide Include New Singer
Kansan Reviewer
Tide is probably the best bann playin in the Lawrence-Kansas City area. Most people who have lived there would agree with that statement.
But most of the old Tide Invasion band includes three of their best original songs. "You're Not the Only One" and "Cowboy Song" on the Lovie Awards.
Tide's 20-minute Bedie medley is excellent. It is a beautifully performed piece of memories from the listener back into the '80s.
Even during the two sets without Hot Dog, Tide has chilled a long string of free-flowing jazz solos by Jim Stringer the lead drummer and bassist of jazz solos. These are two ingredients that helped Gide Tide their own music.

By JOE ZANATTA
Changes have rocked the band, literally. Tide is now a five-man band, for one set, and leans a little more to hard-rock music than in the music he credits for their new singer. Hot Dog.
The strong point of Tide is the band's creativity. A lot of the songs on this album are from the Brummer and Paul Miller, the bass guitarist. It is not the average music tour but by a lot of musicians but the best songs, with excellent lyrics.
Tide's material is a good

important role in many of his photographs. In the photographs used on the book's duicover, the massive forms of gray-black material suggest more substance than the shadowed plains which they cover. In other photographs, views of a cloudless, empty sky convey feelings of immense, cold and unbridled freedom.
James Fisher, also a staff member of the Kansas City Star, was one of the photographers. Most of the text is taken from old volumes of Kansas Historical Quarterlies. Another interesting reminder of Kansas' past, often times they have little knowledge of the graphic material they accompany.
THE TEXT seems to hint that its selection might have been based on a frantic search ("Oh how much I miss this one!" rather than upon a thoughtful matching of the tone of both prose and photography. The text is often adequately, perhaps the inclusion of a historical text is merely a concession to that books should contain words.
Flute solos by Tim Smith and Stringer's guitar and piano work provide much of the instrumental music. They also include the ranks of ordinary rock bands.
THE MOST OUTSTANDING aspect of the book is that it awakens an awareness of the diversity as well as the quiet and subtle beauty that is part of Kansas. Even to longterm learners, it can provide a new perspective as to what Kansas is.
FESTIVAL CONTINUES Tuesday with the speaking engagement of Boris Goldovaky, who has revitalized the opera for many, making it not only a festival but also an entertaining one.
The problem is basically one of concept. No one was apparently quite sure exactly what kind of relationship supposed to be, and so the result is a messy conglomeration of all these factors: satire, love story and murder mystery that tries to be true in an up being not much to anyone.
In this Kafka play the accused had to prove his innocence rather than the state having to prove his guilt.
Four teaching awards, which include three Standard Oil awards and one Fink award, worth $1,000 each, are presented annually to four instructors within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
SOME MOMENTS are quite funny, such as a young intern's description of how pyramidizing errors have practically killed a child. She admitted to being admitted to the hospital in perfect health. At other times a good deal of suspense is generated as an unknown killer systematically begins murdering the staff member for no apparent reason.
BESIDES THE BASIC conflict of themes, THE HASKY has trouble creating original characters and writing believable dialogue for her books. The hung-up member of his generation, is one of two characters - seeming/ going out of hours by building up stories to complete strangers

Good direction might have solved part of the problem, but although he handles the large spikes he often struggles with Arthur Hiller also seems at a loss to cope with Chayefsky's incoherent script. Moreover, his production is sloppy in places: in an attempt to create a clearly visible hanging from the ceiling. Such irritations can only result in an intermittently funny sound, which makes it difficult which is chaotic on screen and frustrating to the audience.
