Lawyer Wins Applause As The Devil In 'Faust'
All the talks will be held at 8 p.m. in Lindley auditorium. There will be no admission charge.
By NINA JONES and JAMES B. BONEY
Stanley Siegel, a Kansas City lawyer won the audience's enthusiastic applause in the University of Kansas City Playhouse production of Goethe's "Faust" in Fraser theater Monday night.
As Mephistopheles, Siegel was both comical and philosophical in luring the earthly Faust into the ways of evil.

Christian marriage and family relations were discussed by members of the Canterbury club Sunday evening. The discussion was one of a series.
The group also planned a corporate communion for the youth in this area and a picnic for Sunday May 15.

"We finally got a relief driver for you, Reginald."
9 The role of Faust was played by Austin Edwards, English instructor at the University of Kansas City. Mr. Edwards was moving in his able interpretation of the great scholar.
Elizabeth Shea, University of Kansas City senior, convincingly portrayed the role of the simple, village girl Gretchen.
The University of Kansas City chorus, directed by Wynn York, was heard in the background and added warmth and continuity to the play.
The simple and realistic stage settings gave speed and movement to the 19-scene play. Mrs. Edward Keith, Kansas City, Mo., designed the settings.
"Six weeks' work and 220 rehearsal hours have gone into making production of 'Faust' possible," John Newfield, director of the University Playhouse said. "'Faust' was chosen because this year the entire world is celebrating the Goethe bi-centennial."
Goethe's Faust is a scholar who cannot find the key to the riddle of the universe. Contemplating suicide, he is diverted by the singing of the Easter chorus.
Faust makes a compact with Mephistopheles, the devil, and is to remain free only as long as he is dissatisfied. With the aid of magic Mephistopheles brings Faust into real life. Faust falls deeply in love with Gretchen and tastes the pangs of love and despair.
Goethe acquired an extensive knowledge of the traditional Faust in his youth and devoted 58 years to the writing of two parts. The first part was begun in 1774 and the second part was completed in 1832, the year of his death.
For the first time, the complete Part I of Goethe's "Faust" was presented here. Yale university is the only other university to present the entire first part.
