Cast Prepares For 'Sleeping Beauty'
The title role of The Sleeping Beauty, A.A.U.W. Children's Theater production at Liberty Memorial high school, April 10 and 11, will be played by Miss Lois Elaine Willecuts. She is an Alpha Delta Pi freshman from Topeka. Irene Sandelius, the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Walter Sandelius is understudying Miss Willcuts, and will appear as one of the peasant children who are the favorite playmates of Primrose.
The department of speech and dramatic art at K.U. is lending royal furniture for the palace scenes and court costumes to supplement those of the Children's Theatre and many K. U. students, faculty members, and alumni appear in the cast or are helping with the play.
Professor Waldermar Gelch, professor of violin, is cast as King Tubbington, a part devised especially for Mr. Gelch and his famous violin.
Mrs. Paul Smart, a fine arts graduate, will appear as the Sunlight Fairy whose belated arrival at the christening enables her to change the curse of death to a hundred years of sleep. Mrs. Smart's song, for which she has written the words, is a melody dear to the hearts of the children.
Miss Margaret Bushong, also a fine arts graduate, has charge of the music and the sound effects for the production. Miss Bushong has been associated with the Theatre since its founding.

CARMEN WILL----
(continued from page one)
Don Jose; Leola Turner as Micaela;
Mario Valle, Escamillo; and Harold
Kravitt, Zuniga. Lydia Arlova and Lucien Frideaux lead the San Carlo Ballet in the dances of the opera. Carmen Wins Her Way
The story of "Carmen" is the well-known triangle plot, this time with a distinctive Spanish flavor. Carmen is a passionate, exotic cigarette factory worker, who, in the first act of the opera, is arrested for street fighting and placed in the custody of Don Jose, a captain. Jose at first disdains Carmen, but soon falls under her spell and allows her to escape.
Carmen flees to the smugglers' den, where, at the beginning of the second act, she treats Escamillo, the boastful tooreador, with scorn. Don Jose arrives at the den after having served in prison for her escape. He is later surprised by Zuniga, is disarmed, and takes to flight with Carmen.
Dies at Hands of Jose
Carmen promises Escamillo her betrothal if he wins the bull fight. Jose has also attended the fight, and while Escamillo is in the arena, he seeks out Carmen and demands fidelity. She refuses, and he stabs her. Carmen dies in Jose's arms as the triumphant Escamillo emerges from the arena.
In act three the fickle Carmen has turned from Jose back to Escamillo. Smugglers prevent a fight between the two lovers, and Don Jose leaves when news comes that his mother is dying.
