Old-Time Drama To Be Next Week
The forthcoming University Players' production of "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" will endeavor to recapture the style and atmosphere of America's 19th century drama next week.
The play, to be presented in the Experimental Theatre of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building at 9 p.m. Nov. 17-22, will be presented with old-time effects of white lighting and an old fashioned drop curtain painted with signs.
Tickets may be obtained at the University Theatre box office for $1.
The plot is concerned with the tragic effects of drink on a good man. The play was used by temperance forces at one time to show the evils of alcohol.
The play will be given a straight presentation; however, an old-time play as such often proves comical today.
The production is directed by Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama.
The Experimental Theatre will use for this production a proscenium stage rather than the novel horse-shoe stage the theater has.
Traditional melodramas such as "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" are better staged on a conventional stage and so the University Players constructed a proscenium arch for this production.
Death and Eternity Claimed Thomas Hardy's 1st Concern
Franklyn C. Nelick, associate professor of English, told an audience at the Poetry Hour yesterday that Thomas Hardy's poetry was primarily concerned with the "great imponderables," such as death and the afterward.
Prof. Nelick said the 19th century English writer may be remembered longer for his poetry than for his other literary works. Samples of the author's poetic works were read by Prof. Nelick.
"Hardy was always a questioner."
Prof. Nelick said. "His style was
highly idiomatic and clumsy, and he was somewhat self-conscious."
Prof. Nellick said Hardy's second dominant intellectual concern was the ironies of existence between men and women.
"Hardy's pessimism is overrated." Prof. Nelick said. "There are elements of hope in his works. He is not always convinced that death ends it all."
Prof. Nelick pointed out that Hardy was not a highly educated man, but the author read deeply to improve his own writing technique.

is doing a fine job by itself.
The racial discrimination committee was established at the Sept. 30 ASC meeting. It was to investigate racial discrimination in the KU area and promote the work of any organization concerned with racial discrimination, such as the Group for the Improvement of Human Relations.
The resolution to kill the committee was introduced to the ASC by Terry Davis, Frontenac senior, last Tuesday. It states that the GIHR has functioned effectively in the past and that a similar group would duplicate and impede GIHR's work.
The GIHR last night voted to retain the ASC Committee.
Other business conducted at last night's meeting included the election of Norb Garrett, Olathe junior, as the party's vice president. He replaces Michael T. Hayes, Zenith senior, who resigned because of the press of other activities.
