High School Art Now Being Shown
Oliver F. Winchester's repeating rifle was invented in 1860.
Date of founding of the New York Times was 1851.
Although he is majoring in speech and drama. William J. West, college senior, has spent much of the last few weeks designing the deck and compartments of a ship.
Student Designs Setting for 'Mister Roberts'
West, however, harbors no secret desires to become a nautical architect. The ship he designed will be used as the set of the Kansas City Residence Theater's production of "Mister Roberts."
As either actor of technician, West has been around the stages of the University since 1948. Two years during that time were spent in the Army, and then he worked with the Little Theatre of Fort Smith, Ark. He is now the vice president of the University Players, vice president of Tri-O, honorary stage technicians, and stave carpenter for the University Theatre.
West's plans are based on Jo Meilziner's set for the New York production of "Mister Roberts." West designed his set to fit the Kansas City Theatre and to use a revolving stage.
In addition to backstage work on all University Theatre productions this season, West has appeared in "Caesar and Cleopatra," "Antigone," and "My Partner." University Players' melodrama.
In addition to designing the set, West will be technical director. He will be responsible for the construction of the set and all technical aspects.
There will really be two sets in one. On one side will be the front of a ship's deck house, and on the reverse side will be a cabin. The cabin will be used in the play as the captain's Mistletoe, the maiden and the crew's quarters. The only changes for cabins will be furniture and wall decorations.
West said he faced no technical problems except quick change of scene, which will be facilitated by the revolving stage. The biggest job will be painting the details of the ship's structure.
"Mister Roberts" will be presented by the Kansas City Resident Theatre at the Jewish Center for two weeks beginning April 25.
Rober B. Taney was chief justice of the United States from 1835 to 1867.
