Black Theater
By DICK COWDEN Kansan Reviewer
The first virtue of the Black Theater's production of "ceremonies in Dark Old Men" is that it defenses, it is not defensive. It is submissive plea for the black man's plight in a white man's world in short, it is a declaration of independence by the Black Theater.
The play's second virtue originates in the actors themselves. So often, especially in films and television, Negroes, who speak with an accent that is closer to the Queen's English than a Ngorodileaut (Anyone can say "right on" at "Least 'Ceremonies'" for real reality). This in itself is largely responsible for the play's believability.
Dwight Henderson, as Mr. Parker, deserves to be singled out. Henderson, who looks and acts very much like Bill Cosby, seems to forget he is on stage and becomes his character. He has a chance for demanding his influence with each scene.
Veda Monday also stands out in the role of Parker's tenacious daughter.
"ceremonies" is about an indigent Harlem family's short lived attempt to rise out of
poverity. The family is persuaded by the oldest son, Theo, to deal with one unsavvy alternative, while his nephew, the other alternatives, which are unemployment or unemployment not or surprisingly, the results are pitiful.
"Coremes" is the first play written by Lonne Elder. His errors are quite evident in that interrupt the play's congruity with the much drama. "Coremes" frustrates its plot and forecasts its con-

elusion almost too soon to retain its audience's attention. The *blue haven* on the *blue haven* in *Blue Haven*, a racketeer, does not fit the otherwise lifeful flow of the character.
With these exceptions, Elder has capably condensed an entire spectrum of black perils into the little details of his work. He done a remarkable job of leaving the inherent complications of glaucoma life, such as the complications of retinal detercurrents while concentrating on the black man himself. The product is a strong image of the elderly, who are trapped by their surroundings.
New Professor at KU To Direct Ancient Play
Kansan Reviewer
By BION BEEBE

One of the newest additions to the University of Kansas speech and drama department is Ron Hancock, who directs his first play at KU.
Because this is his first year at KU, he is just now "getting acquainted." So far he likes it very much.
He chose to come to KU in 1956. He is a people here Also, it has one of the leading theater programs in the country. It is not a dead one.
Wills, a man of seemingly unquestionable energy and enthusiasm, brings with him a good deal of experience. He was born in Dover N., J. and, after reciting a poem in grammar school and going to college, he compliments about it, became permanently looked on theater.
From Iowa he went to the University of Vermont and was there for two years. He spent the rest of his life in Colorado State University. Willis has directed more than 35 universities at these various schools.
His next sojourn was at Defiance College, where he taught for four years. Then Willis went to the University of Iowa to work on his Ph.D. and was ordained of the studio theater there.
HI. GRADUATED from from University of Chicago in 1957. Received the M.F. at Ohio University in 1957. During his college years he worked mostly as a writer and newsrews. However it was at Ohio University that he directed his own feature film.
"Successful theater is all around us. I don't regard theater as just the play," he says.
A TIME WHEN many people think theater is declining, Willis disagrees.
He admits that established theater is declining, but he says it is improving. He spins in the air" which people use to communicate. In fact, he says he thinks theater may be dead by the end of the age. Such things as marches and demonstrations, white theater are definitely死海剧.
Willis' main love in theater is directing, and there is one important reason he likes theater. He calls it "the intensification of the now, the controlled now." He also says that pear to be spontaneous, it definitely is not—"you work to make it happen," he says.
"YOU MUST continually prepare without deadening your response to the now."
to make a production really exciting, one must keep it half-step from failure. When the team fails, "that is the glorious moment."
the play Willis is working on now is "Lysistrata" by the Greek writer Aristophanes. Even though the show was chosen before he got it to the screen, he directed it. But he does concede that it is a "doubled show" to do.

those of you who it reads so many years ago that its tale is nearly forgotten), the plot runs as follows, in the early 1800s on a horse he rides through the woods and wanders return home after a lengthy stay in the city. He brings with him a gift for the family—a son named Heatcliff. His wife is, to say the least, not pleased, but the child Elisabeth is enchanted by the boy.
ordered out of the ordinary by most standards. The costumes by Mr Haebl and the set designed by Mr. Haebl were withdrawn. With a cast of about 40 students, Wills hopes to create a new production that must have been present at the original production." Of course, he also wants to create a new dress for the performance.
HE SAYS HE thinks the show will probably be appreciated by mature audiences with some intellectual perception. Although there is a lot of law comedy, it toes more sophisticated deeds.
THOUGH BOTH ARE more children, Heathcliff and Cathy embark on a relationship of eternal love and agony. As they grow older their love remains, and their devoured by emotional conflicts.
one thing that really intrigues Wilis is that "Lysistrata" was first produced in 41 B.C. at about 300 BC, and he invaded him a "scary, neat feeling."
the emphasizes that the fact that "almost every thing that most of us know about western cooking is from the first production of the interpreter" With all the interim time we are still something for us."
According to Willis, one might even consider this production "a 2,382 year birthday party."
Salaries Freeze
For most of his life Heathcliff is an illiterate, dirty animal, living in the mist and pretending to be tempestuous love. Even after he returns from a trip abroad he remains a suky, robblebish monster. He is cleanness, tasteful dress and perfect elicitation. Whether he knows what the characters view him as the former, Cath sees him as the latter, Heathcliff can never see him.
characterized by a faint scene in the movie. ('Don't worry, this won't spoil the ending for you.' The whole thing is one big flashback, and Cathy's death is anything but terrifying.) Although married to another man, Cathy died while giving birth to Heatherlift's child. After her burial Heatcliff throws himself upon her grave, graveside flowers mourn her and moans. 'Cathy, may you never rest while I am living.'
