20000 Production In June
Definitely Sign Coronado Show For Celebration
The Coronado Entrada and Kansas Cavalcade, largest show of its kind ever produced in Kansas, has been added to the University Diamond Jubilee celebration June 5-9. Leonard Axe, general chairman of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary operating committee, announced today.
The Chamber of Commerce signed a contract Saturday afternoon with Cargill Productions Co., of New York City. The show, which was underwritten by faculty members and Lawrence business men, will be a $60,000 production. All costumes scenery, stage, lighting effects, and other equipment are furnished by the federal government.
Headed by Fritz Meyn, the Entrada committee will cooperate with a sub-committee of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary entertainment committee, headed by W. R. Maddox, assistant professor of political science.
A parade, depicting Indian attacks, the discovery of the Grand Canyon, the execution of the false guides who tried to lead Coronado off his course, the death of Father Juan Padilla, who converted many Indians to the Christian faith, and many other notable events in the trek of the explorer from old Mexico in the search for the fabled cities of Quivera, will be a feature of the show.
The 300 foot steel stage required to present the pageant will cover the football playing field. The cast of 500 persons will be selected from residents of Lawrence and vicinity by the directors of the Gargill company, who will arrive in town five weeks in advance of the production.

Program for the day will include a play by the dramatics department, a show at a downtown theater, and a dance in the Memorial Union ballroom.
"With Love" Student Dates Songstress Liz Tilton After Prom
BY GLEE SMITH
Liz Tilton, blonde vocalist with Bob Crosby's orchestra, took time out to do a little jellying with University men during intermission and after the Junior Prom last night.
Liz, as she is called by all the men in the band, is as clever at keeping up conversation as she is at putting her songs across to swing fans. She seemed to get a kick out of talking to the college joes and kept up a steady stream of questions concerning campus life. Although she insisted she had done it rarely before, she accepted an after-the-dance date with one of the Prommers, because he "seemed like such a swell guy."
