Theater Group to Give Opera-in-English'
In line with the "opera-in-English" idea which has become more and more popular in recent years, the University Theatre will give two productions of opera-in-English this season—"An American in Boston," by Carl Milloeker, and the "Marriage Merchant," by Gioacchino Rossini.
University Daily Kansan
Charles L. Holt, speech instructor and assistant director of the University theatre, is responsible for the English adaptation of the operas to be produced by the University theater.
Mr. Holt has also adapted "La Belle Helene," and "Orpheus in the Underworld" both by Jaques Offenbach, and "Lysistrata," a comedy by Aristophanes. The adaptation of "Lysistrata" was presented by Carnegie Tech as its first play of this season.
Mr. Holt became interested in adapting plays and operas when he was a senior at the University of Kansas City and a student of John Newfield, now director of the University theatre. His first adaptation was a prologue which he did his senior year at KCU.
He had the opportunity to see 77 productions of opera while on a Fulbright scholarship at the University of London. They were not
all in English. He said the best ex-ample of opera-in-English he saw in England was done by the Saddler Wells company.
In adapting an opera or play Mr. Holt says he first reads the plot in German and French and then decides how it would best appeal to the American audience. He says he usually sticks very close to the musical score but sometimes finds it needs adaptation.
Mr. Holt feels if opera is to be an integrated art form it must be heard in the language of its audience. He said that the original translation is usually a literal translation of the German or French done by some "hack" writer and that he tries to reproduce it for the American audience. He said the only way the new production is bound to the original is in the spirit of the work.
Reading Room Reconstructed
Once just a reading room, the library in the School of Journalism has been remodeled and reassigned as the William Allen White Historical Center. The prime functions of the center are educating the students and providing a repository for mementos and items of significance in the field of journalism.
By SHIRLEY JONES
Early this year the board of trustees of the William Allen White foundation approved a proposal made by Dean Burton W. Marvin of the journalism school and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy to employ a full-time archivist and librarian
The Methodist Graduate fellowship will not have a meeting Sunday evening. The students are invited to see a movie at 6 p.m. instead.
When the new building was opened in January, 1952, a reading room was provided for journalism students. A library was not included in the plans because of the nearness of Watson library. However, interested people began contributing collections of books, cartoons, and magazines, creating the need for a means of display.

Earl A. Jinkinson, special assistant to the attorney general, delivered a 50-minute opening statement, explaining the indictment concerned an attempt to monopolize the dissemination of news and advertising and that the government would try to prove that actual monopolization occurred.
Defense counsel objected repeatedly that Mr. Aronofs testimony was "too remote," but Judge Richard M. Duncan overruled the motions. An all-male jury was selected earlier. Attorneys said the trial was expected to last for several months.
