'Greensleeves' Captivates Kids
By Carrie Merryfield
Wonder, excitement and true admiration were written on the faces of the children who saw "Greensleeves Magic," the KU Childrens' Theatre production yesterday.
Boys in parkas and levis raced with little girls in sweaters and hair ribbons of gay colors to find their seats in the theater. For many of them it was the first time they had seen a theater production, and they loved every minute of it.
MOTHERS CHATTED cally about bridge games, but the boys and girls could hardly wait for the curtain to rise.
As the overture began, happy shouts turned to expectant whispers, and silence was king. Oohs and aahs were audible as the children first saw the characters on stage.
They were a quiet, receptive audience, listening carefully for every word and noticing each action with the alertness of youth
They laughed loudly at the nervous King, played so well by Keith Jochim, Lawrence sophomore, and huddled back in their seats as they saw the evil ruler of the country, Her Imperial Highness,
portrayed by Marilyn Miller, Lawrence sophomore.
Applause broke out several times as the princesses defied the commands of Her Imperial Highness, and many sighs of relief were heard when she disappeared into a dark cloud, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
AFTER THE CAST took the curtain call, they skipped up the center aisle out into the lobby to meet the children and talk with them and their parents.
As the cast hurried up the aisles, many small hands reached out to touch the costumes and feel "real actors," as one little boy said with a big smile on his face.
Reactions of the cast to playing to a young audience were similar—they all enjoyed it very much.
"There is so much unhappiness in the world today, that it is a delight to see so many youngsters happy. I like to know I have a part in making them laugh," Jochim said.
I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.—Shaw
No one is such a liar as the indignant man...Nietzsche

Kansas Youth Rate Above Average in Fitness Tests
Kansas youth rate above the average American youth in over-all physical fitness according to recent tests.
Henry Shenk, professor of physical education and chairman of the Governor's Committee on Youth Fitness, said Kansas youth is above average but still could improve.
"Some boys and girls become soft because they lack exercise. Instead
"We do have a few softies," Prof. Shenk said.
