Daisy Mae Shuns Films For Stage
NO NEED TO RUN—Daisy Mae, played by Patricia Northrop, lovingly reminds Lil Abner, played by Robert Kaye, that he will never have to run in another Sadie Hawkins Day race.
Hollywood was not the goal of Patricia Northrop, who will play Daisy Mae in "Lil' Abner" here March 4. Instead, the pert little blonde left the west to make her living on Broadway.
She enrolled at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse, where she won recognition.
Her first Broadway part came in the chorus of "South Pacific." From there Rodgers and Hammerstein put her in the first New York revival of "Oklahoma" as the leading female star.
Dogpatch Musical Set for Wednesday
"Lil Abner" will be presented as an extra attraction by the KU Concert Series Wednesday in Hoch Auditorium.
The show will be presented just as it appeared on Broadway and will bring to life the hillbilly brainchildren of cartoonist Al Capp.
Roles in "Pal Joey" and "Visit To A Small Planet" soon followed. She rounded out her experience with leading roles in summer stock, including parts in "Carousel," "Brigadoon," "Kismet" and "Kiss Me Kate."
Now she will come to the University stage March 4 as Daisy Mac in "Lil' Abner."
The musical comedy will be presented by a company of 40 actors, dancers, singers and a pit orchestra.
Johnny Mercer and Gene de Paul wrote the musical score.
Others in the cast include Robert Kaye as Lil' Abner, Dean Dittman, native of Frontenac, Kan., as Marryin' Sam, Peter Costanze as Earthquake McGoon and Don Potter as Pappy Yokum.
