Department Ends Successful Term in Dramatic Work
Prof. Robert Calderwoo Will Head Dramatics During Absence of Crafton
The 1956-27 season has been a most successful one for the department of dramatic arts and the University Dramatic Club, according to Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department. Because of the excellent work done in the department, a chapter of the National Collegiate Players, the university's dramatic organization of the country, has been granted to the University.
The department has been recognized by a request to contribute to "The Theatre Arts eYar Book" for 1927; and by articles and photographs which have been published in "The Theatre Arts Monthly," "The Bill Board," "The Drama," and "The Playern Monthly."
Much favorable comment for the University and the department of dramatic arts resulted from the series of plays which were given during the summer session last year by a group of persons from the department under the name of "The Kansas Players."
players included as
these were the most historic in all before a total of over eleven thousand people. Thirty-eight actors were included in "The Kanaas Players," although they did not all take part in any one play, Practically all of the players were members of a class in "Theory and Practice of Modern Drama," with the exception of the ten whose performances on five different stages, although most of them were given in Spooner-Thayer.
"In the Next Room," a mystery play by the "Kansas Players" in two presentations, was presented in the fall. Then "The Dover Road," a comedy, was given twice by the simulated Cith in Robinson gumsum alum.
In February, "Candida," a comedy, and "IF," a fantastic comedy, were presided in four engagements in the spring of 2014. The result of a special invitation from
that theater to fill the engagements "If" was later presented twice in Lawrence before large audiences.
One Act Plays Presented Besides The public performances, there have been over forty class room plays in the Little Theater of Green hall.
Members of the department of dramatic arts have assisted in the presentation of several public productions during the year other than those given under the auspices of the department. "Isabel," the musical comedy, was written by George Calhain, uncle, a member of the Dramatic and several students in the department took part in the presentation.
Over half of the cast of "The Thirteenth Chair," the American Legion play, was taken from the drama stockier, members of the Dramatic club. Several members of the department are taking part in the flood relief program given at the theater.
No Theater Is Handcake
The biggest handicap for the work of the department has been the lack of hands. This year the scenery used in the different plays has had to be cut down or enlarged four times in order to make it fit the different stages. There has been considerable comment on the possibility of the University having a dedicated plain areas to depict plains have been made as yet.
Calderwood to Be New Head
There will probably be no plays produced during the summer session and Professor Crafton will play during the 1927-28 season will not be definitely made until after the opening of school next fall, after the Dramatic club has had its first meeting. Professor Crafton and Mrs. Crafton will attend next year on a year's leave of absence. They plan to spend the time abroad and during Professor Crafton's absence Prof. Robert Calderwood will have charge of the work of the department of dramatic arts, which will also addition to the faculty of the department next fall.
