Casts Chosen for Next University Production
Casts have been announced for the next presentation of the University Theatre, a double-bill combining the rich talents of the two master English playwrights—"The Dark Lady of the Sonnets" by George Bernard Shaw and "A Phoenix Too Frequent" by Christopher Fry.
The plays will be presented Dec 10, 11, 12, and 13 in Fraser theater.
"The Shaw play has been performed very rarely," Dr. John Newfield, director of University Theatre, said. "The last time it was performed was at the Old Vic theater in London."
Cast in "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets" are Bonnie Royer, graduate student, as Queen Elizabeth; Wilson O'Connell, assistant instructor of speech, as Will Shakespeare; Patricia McGehee, fine arts junior, as the Dark Lady, and Charles May, college freshman, as the beef-eater.
Cast in this play are Cornelia Harrington, college senior, as the widow Dynamene; Mrs. Dorothy O'Connell, education junior, as her companion Doto, and Bob Londerholm, college senior, as the soldier Tegues.
"A Phoenix尼 Frequent," one of Christopher Fry's early plays, is "his best in the opinion of many critics." Dr. Newfield said.
Dr. Newfield is directing both productions. Scenery has been designed by Robert Green, assistant professor of drawing and painting. Stewart Gordon, college senior, has written an overture for two pianos

Treadway hopes the toys collected will number over 1,000. They will be distributed to the Kansas Children's Service League of Topeka, the Wichita Children's home, the Phyllis Wheatley Home* for Negro Children in Wichita, the Eighth Street orphanage and Lifeline home in Kansas City, Kan., and the Goodlander home in Fort Scott.
Collection centers in downtown Lawrence will be located at the Centenary Methodist parsonage, North Lawrence, and the Congreational church at 925 Vermont.
If the goal is passed, Treadway said, the other toys will be distributed to other children's homes in the state.
Students at the University are asked to bring toys back with them on their return from Thanksgiving vacation. Those living in organized houses may leave them at their houses. An ISA representative will collect them there. A collection center will be established for students living in private homes.
Be style-right this season . . . look sharp. Treat yourself to a pair of Pedwin White Bucks, with red rubber soles. Never before so much style at this price!

Harry Will Keep White House Key
Washington—(U.P.)—There will be no changing of keys when President Truman and President-elect Eisenhower exchange greetings at the inauguration Jan. 20.
There is no key to the front door of the White House.
There is a lock on the door, of course, but no key. When President Truman moved his gear from Blair house to the rejuvenated White House somebody presented him with a gold key. It's just a keepsake. Gold keys don't open doors.
There are guards apently. They're there, sidearms at the ready, around the clock.
The citizens need not worry about somebody breaking into the big house on Pennsylvania avenue.
Irv Perimeter of the White House press section said so far as he knows there never has been a key to the front door. Not in modern times, anyhow.
The Trumans are busy packing up for the move back to Missouri. It's quite a job.
The furnishings in the White House belong to the taxpayers.
When Mr. Truman moves out and Mr. Eisenhower moves in, there will be pleasantries and doubtless some shaking of the hands.
One of the biggest jobs is to create the President's books. He has thousands. Many of the volumes he treasures are on historical and political subjects.
The new president will just walk in and the uniformed help will show him about.
New Premier's Aides Quit
