John Raitt Stars in 'Pajama Game'in KC
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(Special)—John Raitt, singing star who crested the original Broadway role of Sid Sorokin in "The Pajama Game," played it for two years in New York and made the motion picture with Doris Day, will open next Monday night, July 18, in that same role in "The Pajama Game," the musical spoof of labor and management problems.
The show, set to run for two weeks, is full of lively melodies and spirightly dialogue. Included in the musical numbers are 'Hey, There,' "There Once Was A Man," "Herzando's Hideaway," "Steam Heat," "Small Talk," "Seven and One-Hall Cents," and other popular tunes.
Gordon and Shelia Mac Rae, in one of the greatest Starlight box office attractions in history, continue their record setting pace in "Annie Get Your Gun" through Sunday night. During the second week of a performance, such as the one currently in progress, theatre officials point out that all seats are available on a first-come first-served basis, since all of the season tickets purchased are for the first week only of a performance.
Raitt is the singer on the original cast long-playing hi-fi album of "The Pajama Game," one of the most successful albums in recording history. Raitt also created the role of Billy Bigelow in the Broadway production of "Carousel."
The Starlight has been seeking him for a show for the past five years, but he has starred in "The Chevy Show" during the summer for the past three seasons and contractual obligations have not permitted his appearance here until this year.
The musical appeared first at the Starlight in the 1957 season and was a tremendous box office success. At that time many labor unions in Kansas City purchased blocks of seats for the show, which takes hilarious
Airman's Father Sure of Mission
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-(UPI)-The father of one of two U.S. Air Force officers captured after the Russians shot down an RB-47 reconnaissance bomber is sure the craft was on a legitimate mission.
Jean McKone of Tonganoxie, father of Lt. John R. McKone, the navigator aboard the plane which was shot down July 1, is also positive his son is in custody.
"The Russians have him," the elder McKone said. "There's no doubt about it. They wouldn't have released the information if they couldn't back it up. I just hope he is still alive."
Mkone added: "If we could just create a furor about this the Russians might be persuaded to spare his life. I just don't know."
digs as both sides of the labor-man agement organizations.
The show portrays life in a Middle West pajama factory, and deals with an employee campaign for a 71%-cent hourly wage increase. A volcanic factory head is portrayed as demanding to know "why that blasted union can run its Coca-Cola machine on plant electricity?"
The union crew, headed by a beautiful negotiator, can't seem to quite understand why management won't allow them longer lunch-hours, shorter working days, more coffee breaks and days off for their favorite aunt's birthdays.
Mail orders are being purchased now at the Starlight Ticket Office, Dept. JP, 1217 Walnut Street, Kansas City, Missouri. Telephone reservations are also being accepted by calling Grand 1-5510 in Kansas City before 6 p.m. During the evenings reservations may be made at the theatre box office in Swope Park, Delmar 3-9481.
Kishi Stabbed By Nationalist
TOKYO—(UPI)—Premier Nobu-suke Kishi, stabbed six times by a former member of the dreaded World War II Black Dragon Society, is expected to be hospitalized for at least 10 days, doctors at Maeda Hospital have said.
Kishi was knifed repeatedly in the left thigh at a celebration hailing the choice of trade and industry minister Hayato Ikeda as the new standard bearer for Kishi's party when the premier steps down shortly.

Leave Given To Kaplan
Bert Kaplan, associate professor of psychology, will take a leave of absence during the fall semester to make a cross-cultural study of mental health patterns in New Mexico and Arizona.
He will conduct the three-year's study of psychopathology under a $46,234 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service.
Last summer Dr. Kaplan collected extensive data relating to the Navaho tribe under a grant from the KU General Research Fund.
"That study suggested a pattern of psychopathology that exists partly within the drunkenness pattern and that is partly related to Navaho kinship and traditional value orientations," he said.
He will continue his study of that group and of the Hopi and Apache Indians and of a Spanish-American village in New Mexico in an attempt to discover different ways these people become mentally ill.
VanderWerf Gets Contract Renewal
"We will obtain data from hospital, police and physicians' records and will conduct surveys of small areas to learn the mental status of these people," he said.
"We will describe and compare the patterns of mental illness discovered to see how they may be related to the structure of their individual societies."
He will concentrate his research on the attitudes of these people toward mental illness and to a study of drunkenness.
Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry, will continue research on the chemistry of nitrogen compounds in petroleum with a contract renewed by the American Petroleum Institute.
The $14,300 contract is being awarded him for the sixth consecutive year.
Hopponen Completes Refresher Seminar
Research assistants assigned to the project are Paul Papadopoulos, Navarinov, Thessaloniki, Greece; Lloyd Pine, Emporia; Nathan Lerner, Lawrence, and Victor Heasley, Dorr, Mich., graduate students in chemistry.
Raymond E. Hopponen, professor of pharmacy, has completed a Walgreen Refresher Seminar in Pharmacy Administration at the firm's headquarters in Chicago.
The refresher course, given persons who have attended two previous seminars, is designed to give educators a first-hand working knowledge of contemporary retail drug business in order to prepare pharmacy students for successful drug store management.
