Thirteen Clocks' Uses Magical Modern Dance
By Donna Engle
The successful mergence of vivid choreography, costuming, music, and a delightful script made last night's premiere presentation of "The 13 Clocks" an enjoyable excursion into the realm of fantasy.
Presented by the University Experimental Theatre and Tau Sigma (KU dance group), James Thurber's "The 13 Clocks" also will be given at 8 p.m. today through Saturday in the Experimental Theatre.
THE IMAGINATIVE modern dance choreography, modified Gothic style costuming and set design, and the music used in the production prove that the Experimental
Lecture Depicts British Museum
The British Museum is not strictly a British Museum but a place where scholars of all nations come to study art of all nations.
This is the description of the British Museum given by Marilyn Stokstad, assistant professor of art history, yesterday at the first of a series of lectures given by the Museum of Art on art museums of the world.
PROF. STOKSTAD said the British Museum, founded by Sir Hans Sloan, is one of the most varied places for study and work that can be imagined.
While showing slides, she emphasized the great scope of the art housed in the museum.
"You can see the finest pieces of fifth century B.C. Greek art at the British Museum. . . It has a large section on Egyptology . . . and a section devoted to Assyrian art," she said
She discussed the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Prof. Stokstad said that while the British Museum is famous for its archeology and ethnology the National Gallery in London is famous for its painting.
SHE EXPLAINED that the museum also houses the famous Rosetta Stone, manuscripts from Anglo-Saxon times, a part of the royal art collection, art of the vikings, the famous Portland vase, drawings by Michelangelo, and the world's most complete medieval chess set (92 pieces).
"It is famous for decorative arts. It has a fine collection of fine furniture, ceramics, and silver," she said.
Prof. Stokstad also discussed the Wallace Collection of 18th Century French paintings and decorative arts,
SHE SAID that some buildings are museums in themselves and that tourists should not miss such places as Westminster Abbey, Oxford, Windsor Castle, Haffield House, and the Chapel of Henry VII, which is an example of fine Gothic art.
The next lecture in the series will be given by Klaus Berger, professor of art history at 4 p.m. Monday in the Spooner Lecture Room of the Museum of Art, Prof. Berger's subject will be "Paris and the Louvre."
Theatre is a place for successful experimentation. It was the first allmodern dance production presented at KU.
The choreography is well adapted to the telling of Thurber's Sleeping Beauty-type of fairy tale and was pleasingly presented by the Prince, Bill Perry, Webb City, Mo., sophomore. Perry's dance as a minstrel was the high point of the evening.
The invention of a new creature, the Golux, played by Mary Cowell, Clayton, Mo., freshman, was the source of many laughs.
The employment of the four acting areas of the stage, the readers, the sound, and the lighting are commendable. The pantomimes and the dancers' timing when not musically accompanied are effective.
THE SCENES in which the Prince sings his song, the 13 clocks are started, and the Golux and the Prince visit Old Hagga's Hut are very well done.
The roles of the Duke, the Prince and the Golux are capably enacted. The University of Kansas' first dance drama has done justice to Thurber's appealing tale.
KU Presidential Visits Recalled
Harry S. Truman's visit last week was the first time in nearly 50 years that a president or former president has visited the campus.
By Priscilla Burton
The last president to speak on the campus was William Howard Taft in 1911.
FLORENCE BLACK, associate professor of mathematics, recalls the president's visit here — he wanted two chairs to sit on as he was a large man.
Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes and U. S. Grant were the only other presidents to visit the campus.
President Hayes and his wife visited the campus in 1879. He spoke in chapel after being taken with his wife to the top of the north cupola to see the view.
Gen. Grant and his wife and daughter stopped in Lawrence in April, 1873. He was driven up to inspect University Hall, now Fraser Hall, but he did not speak at the University or in town.
WOODROW WILSON visited the campus in 1912 while campaigning as a presidential candidate.
Theodore Roosevelt visited Lawrence in 1903 while on a whistle stop tour and F. D. Roosevelt spoke here in 1920 in South Park when he was a vice presidential nominee.
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—(UPI) Four local branches of national chain stores will not be boycotted by the National Association for Ad- vancement of Colored People (NAACP).
No NAACP Boycott Of K.C. Dime Stores
The Rev, Osborne A. Crenshaw, president of the Kansas City, Kan., chapter of the NAACP, said there will be no lunch counter sit-ins at two Kresge stores, one Woolworth store, and one W. T. Grant store because "anyone can eat with dignity at the lunch counters at the four stores."

Riley Court Opens With Kelly Talk

Prof. Kelly spoke in Manhattan at a luncheon following the opening ceremonies.
