Keeler Books Entertainment For Kansas
Approximately $1\frac{1}{2}$ million Middlewesterners listened to speakers and music provided by the University the past year. The department of lecture and concert artists, directed by Guy V. Keeler, made 3,000 programs available in 650 communities in Kansas and bordering states.
Pinned on a large map in front of Mr. Keeler's desk is a quiltwork of colored tacks to represent bookings throughout the area by his staff representatives. More than 600 tacks on the map represent a year's advance booking. Four tacks represent the work of one representative for one day. There are two-full-time representatives and one who works part-time.
During February of this year 400 programs reaching 200,000 persons were given in Kansas, and bordering communities of Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Sixteen full-time performers toured Kansas and gave performances. They traveled 20,000 miles.
The artists, selected by Mr. Keeler, must give a program which is inspirational, educational, or entertaining. Some of the talent is selected from faculty members and students of the University and some from professional platform artists. The programs supplement regular educational programs of schools, churches, and community civic activities. These communities would otherwise probably not have a means for discussions of vital problems, entertainment, and programs for school assemblies.
Past programs have included humorists, political analysts, speakers on educational or social problems, foreign visitors, atomic physicists, singers, instrumentalists, adventurers, authors, scientific demonstrations speakers, film dramatists, and entertainers such as marionette groups, magicians, and jugglers.
Five hundred communities with 3,000 programs have already been contacted for 1950 and 1951. Practically all programs are now placed with schools, service clubs, and community organizations. His schedule is prepared a year in advance
because of the great demand for good talent. He is now buying talent for 1951 and 1952. He is currently completing the delivery of talent to schools and civic groups in areas where talent was booked in 1948 and 1949 to entertain 1949 and 1950. Civic organizations can select speakers, entertainers, or concerts from a list of programs which is presented by the representatives.
A past president of the International Platform association, Mr. Keeler is now a member of the board of directors. The I. P. A. publishes a house organ, "Talent," which specializes in articles and information about the educational entertainment field. The University is represented in the magazine as offering a community entertainment and educational service for school assemblies, service clubs, and community programs.
Mr. Keeler started his educational career, immediately following his graduation from the University, as a teacher of history and coach of athletics at Atchison county community high school in 1919. However, by 1922, the University appointed him to its Extension staff. He immediately became interested in lyeum work and his keen interest in that field has continued ever since. He has been associated with K. U. for 28 years.
An evidence of his imaginative zeal is found in his origin of the much copied "Talks of the Month Clubs." He is listed in "Who's Who in American Education," was president of the Kansas Educators club, and a lieutenant-governor of Kiwanis International.
