Cast Announced For 'Mellerdrammer
The cast for the K-Club play "Murder in the Old Red Barn" or "The Price She Paid" were announced by Rolla Nuckles, instructor of speech and dramatic art yesterday.
Maria (heroine) will be played by Bill Beven, ed'41, and William Corder, the villain, who must act like a hero) by John Naramore, b'40.
Mr. Martin (Maria's father), Ray Napier, e'40; Dame Martin (Maria's mother), Larry Hensley, b'41; Ish Mael, the gypsy, Quido Massare, e'41, Anne (Maria's sister) Herb Hartman, ed'41; Tim (Anne's fiance), Denzel Gibbens, e'41
Although the entire chorus has not yet been announced, those who have been selected are: Ed Suagee, ed'41; John Burge, ed'41; Howard Engleman, b'41; Herb Hartman, ed'41; Dick Driscoll, c'41. A quartette will be under the direction of Otto Kiehl. With almost phenomenal facility, Bill Beven is taking on charm and femininity as rehearsals progress.
John Naramore, b'40, will be remembered for his expressive eyes in "The Drunkard." Quido Massare promises to be one of the high lights of this year's show. His acting seems to be a combination of Fred Bosilevae and Steve Renko, ed'42, who were "successes" in the last K-club play.
It is rumored that the lines are so funny that the mere repetition of them "panics" the actors.
The first two acts of the melodrama have been rewritten and the third will be finished tomorrow, Nuckles announced. Already, the cast has learned lines of the first act.
Monday, the Old Red Barn will be painted and other scenery built. The actresses will be measured, and material for costumes will be selected, as it was impossible to find ready-made garments in the sizes called for.
Turkish Jeweler Supplies New Ideas
Paris is very curious these days about the onetime jeweler to the sultan of Turkey, who has set himself up in the manufacturing business and is now ready to drape women in diamonds, harem fashion, wholesale! He says that "flowers and ribbons are the fashion in real gems" and shows his current favorite. . . . two enormous diamond pansies, each with a single ruby petal. The two flowers may be worn together, in as many ways as there are days in the month.
Ribbons and diamonds twine and twist and are even tied in bows. A bridge ring is set with a ribbon of sapphires drawn through a tiny diamond buckle less than a quarter inch square. Another little touch of Turkish delight is two rings, exactly alike, worn on the index finger. This expert claims that most of his new commissions are for rings to be worn on the index finger, which with proper designing can make your hand look long and slender.
Kistler and Ellsworth Plan To Attend Conference
J. J. Kistler, assistant professor of journalism, and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, will attend the Topeka conference of the Southwest Association of Industrial Editors, to be held May 10.
Every-Day-Art Museum Unnoticed in Strong Hall
A regular art museum, kept modern and fresh by a constant stream of new exhibits, continues day after day on the third floor of Frank Strong hall, unnoticed by the general populace of the University.
The displays, made and put there by students in the department of design, under the direction of Miss Rosemary Ketcham, represent all phases of creative work in design. Featured now is a group of rare old Japanese paintings dating 1850 and back on display in room 320. In the same room are about 20 pieces of sculpturing done by members of Bernard "Poco" Frazier's sculpturing class. Several of the characters are funny; other are on the serious side.
In the hall outside room 320 are a number of real "old-fashioned" Indian looms, on which students are currently weaving pieces of handwoven goods. Several finished pieces done on the looms are on display in room 320. One auto robe and a spread are exceptionally well done.
In the west hall of the third floor are exhibitions of book binding, pottery, beaten metal, and wood carving. A counter display which recently won first place for Louis Weinberg in a contest sponsored by the Jordan Company in Kansas City, is set up in a glass case in the west hall. It shows an air gun, which the company has just invented for spraying vel-suede, a new method of decorative finish.
Exhibitions of story illustrating, and designs for playing cards are displayed in the small room to the right of the design office. Here also are dioramas made by the history of art class, which will remain as a part of the permanent display of art from prehistoric times down to the present time.
Essay Contest Judges Chosen
Four faculty members will act as a committee to select the winning essay in the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prize essay contest before May 15, Seba Eldridge, chairman of the committee, announced today.
The contest, which closed last Thursday with less than 10 applications, was open to student essays on modern applications of Christianity.
First prize winner will receive a $100 award and $75 and $50 will go to second and third place winners.
