Last Minute Rush Grips 'White Wings' Cast
Cast members and Director Allen Crafton are rushing around Fraser stage these days, bawling out lines, throwing on paint, and pounding with hammer and nails—the last minute rush before opening night. The new Kansas Players production "White
Wings" takes to the stage Tuesday for a four-night run.
Ticket Manager Don Dixon reports a brisk and steady sale of season tickets, but a slow sale of student tickets. He advises students to exchange their activity book stubs for reserved seats as soon as possible moving faster this week end.
There remains little to do on the scenery—a dab here and a slap of alabastine there. The taxi cab was changed from black to yellow at the last minute. The little go-carts that
On the eve of dress rehearsal two members of the "White Wings" cast were called to their homes because of illness in their families, and a "state of emergency" existed for Allen Crafton to solve.
Crafton reported late last night that the "show would go on" with Mrs. Crafton doubling for Betty Simon as part of "Josie", the horse, and Geneva Crawford taking Elizabeth Newman's place as prompter.
the street cleaners push are finished. The garbage truck and the victorian coach and the horseless carriage are all ready to rumble across the stage at the proper moment.
The cast members are swinging into final form, preparing for tonight's dress rehearsal. The 16 members of the cast have been holding rehearsals every week-day evening for a month. In addition there have been many individual rehearsals for important cast members, notably Josie, the horse.
"White Wings" raises no problems, teaches no lesson; it is described as being merely a sentimental and entirely nonsensical story of the passing of the white
wings from our national life with the coming of the automobile. The play is set for some imaginary midwest city during the latter nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Scenery for the play will be two exterior pictures—one along the boulevard, the other in a parkway. The stage properties which accompany the sets are elaborate and numerous—a victorian coach, street cleaners' carts, a horseless carriage, a statute of a horse (in the play they couldn't find a horse to set up as their monument, so they used a deer with his horns knocked off), a taxi cab, a garbage truck.

Careful seismological studies reveal that California is more susceptible to earthquakes than any other section of the country.
