". AND I TELL YOU." —Wilson O'Connell, assistant instructor in speech; Patricia McGehee, fine arts junior, and Bonnie Royer, graduate student, compete with an empty theatre during one of the first rehearsals. GOT A CROWBAR?—Among cables, batteries of lights, and props the set begins to take shape with Dee Ann Price, fine arts sophomore, and Kirt Walling, college senior, wielding the Footlight F Picture Story by Jerry Knudson AFTER the ringing success of "The Merry Widow" this week, we turn back to the previous University Theatre production in December—George Bernard Shaw's "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets" and Christopher Fry's "A Phoenix Too Frequent"-to note the long weeks of work that precede any polished stage performance. LIKE THIS—John Newfield, head of University Theatre, directs.
