Novel Stage Used In Play
Mary K. Booth and Margaret Gosney, graduate students, impressed their audience with the effect of a circular stage for play productions Thursday.
The students produced "Pawns" by Percival Wilde and "The Wonder Hat" by Ben Hecht and Kenneth Gordon in the Little theater of Green hall. It was the first time that any play at the University has been produced with the audience entirely encircling the stage. The plays were produced as experimental seminar class projects.
The actors also had more space for movement than they would have on a stage where the focus is in one direction from the stage.
The plays were effective although almost no props were used. The improvised camp fire in "Pawns" and the circular rock wall in "The Wonder Hat" made it possible for the cast to perform more easily to an audience which encloses the stage.
The actors made their entrances and exits through three doors behind the audience. The actor was necessary to setting to be done in the midst of the audience.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech, said that the circular stage has been used successfully in a number of theaters in the United States.
'Train Of Tomorrow To Be Here Sunday
The "Train of Tomorrow" will be on display in Lawrence Sunday. The two thousand horse power diesel engine with four glistening new vista-dome cars may be examined at the Santa Fe railroad station from 1 to 5 p. m.
The ultra-modern cars were designed by the General Motors corporation, which is sponsoring the show. Lawrence dealers in General Motors products expect about seven thousand persons to visit the train.
An observation lounge car, day coach, sleeper, and diner will make up the train. Latest techniques in interior decorating and functional designing have been used in the cars, spokesmen for the exhibit said.
