Theater's History Acted Out in Dramatic Recital
He introduced himself as a rogue, murderer, wanderer, a gentleman, a Robin Hood, and, in short — an actor.
He was British Hugh Miller. He discussed the theater in a dramatic recital Friday from its primitive beginning to the "modern tendency toward the primitive."
A chair and a table were his props. Sometimes he sat in the chair. Sometimes he picked up a hat from the table or a scarf or monacle to characterize his scene. Often he flipped through a book on the history of the theater on the table.
HUGH MILLER said Sophocles was "the Pulitzer prize winner of Athens."
Wheelock to Give 'Last Words' Talk

Political Sportsman
DALLAS — (UPI) — Joe Foss, Commissioner of the American Football League, is a former governor of South Dakota.
"In Greek history," Miller explained, "the protagonist is the hero. The protagonist today is the mass."
He portrayed Creon and a messenger from the Theban play, Antigone.
"After the breaking up of the old world, comedy disappears," Miller went on. "It appears again in the church in religious drama."
GOING ON to Shakespeare, Miller said the Elizabethan play owed itself to no one, its jumping movement had never been seen before.
"The school had a super-human detection of the whole cycle of man's life. In Shakespeare, man is no longer a victim of fate. He is master of his own fate."
The actor flipped through the book on the table.
"The Puritans closed the theater," he added. "It next opened to the gay, charming comedy of the Restoration which gave grace to the English comedy."
Miller portrayed from this comedy a "crusty knight talking to a fair damsel."
"THAT LED to the romantic era, reflected by its cascade of poetry and characterized by the 'extreme ham' in the theater."
He characterized severa' of Charles Dickens' figures.
After the romantic era, he said,
the theater was in full decline until
George Bernard Shaw "shocked
them."
"Shaw is responsible for the innovation of woman as predator," he said. "This is the period of the 'Oh, this is so sudden!' gambit. No longer is man bowing to the woman.
"For Shaw, woman is the conscious agent of life force. Woman stalks her prey," he said.
THEFT SCENE—This pedestal formerly held "The Resurrection," stolen from the Art Museum this weekend.
Bronze Statue Stolen-

SHE SAID two men could have lugged it off, but not easily. It weighs several hundred pounds.
The gallery suffered a similar loss last year when a bronze toad was taken from the garden. It was returned when the prankster realized the toad was a work of art and part of a gallery collection. The toad was placed in a luggage locker at Union Station in Kansas City and the key mailed to the gallery director.

"I AM NOT going there to stir up trouble," Warner said. "But I have been invited and when I return I will have a greater depth of understanding into the problem of race relations and I will also be a more valuable resource person."
Warner said he did not like reports which indicated outsiders as leaders in the Mississippi University riots, but said there was no analogy between his trip to the South to participate in a conference on Civil Rights and other whites who have gone south to create strife.
CRC Joins Forces With Two Groups

Prof. Stokstad said she hopes "Resurrection" also will be returned when its value is realized.
He added that nonviolent theory incorporated simple notions of Christian love — "loving those who persecute you," Warner summed up.
The Montgomery Improvement Association was first organized in December, 1955, by Rev. King to protest Montgomery's then segregated buses.
"Negroes must understand they are not winning a victory over the white man but are winning justice over injustice," Warner commented.
The boycott which resulted lasted more than a year until the Supreme Court ruled the segregated buses unconstitutional.
