Sophomore Plays Summer Stock With Theater Stars
Joyce Malicky of Baldwin, who will play Anna in the University Theatre production of "The King and I" next month, performed with Jane Powell, Vaughn Monroe, Johnny Ray, Janis Paige, Jan Clayton and Marie Wilson.
A KU sophomore shared a stage in summer stock productions with six Hollywood stars at the Texas State Fair at Dallas.
The summer's work included productions of "Guys and Dolls," "Oklahoma," "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," "The Most Happy Fella," and "The King and I."
Each ran two weeks, with the principal parts taken by wellknown stars. But the smaller singing and dancing parts were filled by young actors and actresses.
Last spring Joyce auditioned before Lehman Engel, musical director of the productions; Charles Meeker, director; and Dania Krupska, choreographer. She won parts in the five summer shows, and a soloist role at the Rotary International Convention at Dallas last spring.
Joyce is a mezzo soprano, and is thinking of making a career in the theatre.
Last year she appeared in the University Theatre productions of "Man and Superman" and "The Saint of Bleecker Street." She is a theater and voice major in the School of Fine Arts.
She is getting a solid background of experience.
Playing Anna in "The King and I" is the fulfillment of a longtime wish for her. She has admired the part and the music of Richard Rodgers. Last summer in the Dallas production of this musical, she played one of the wives while Jan Clayton was Anna.
Joyce finds show business hard to resist. She enjoys acting, singing and auditioning. She seldom is afflicted with more than normal stage fright. But she does not like to play the piano in public.
"I don't want to throw myself into New York," Joyce said. She is aware that the odds for succeeding
there do not favor the young performer.

But she has a more immediate problem than forecasting her future in show business. The part of Anna requires that she wear 6-foot hoops while on stage. Joyce will devote much of her time to learning how to walk, sit down, get through doorways and dance in the hoops.

Sex Just Isn't That Liberal
In a discussion of a child's relation to sex, a professor of education told his class of student teachers. "Young children might just as well go in and out of the bathroom while father and mother are taking a bath."
A roar of laughter made the professor realize that even though our discussion of the sex problem has become more liberal, father and mother still don't take a bath together.

"My electric clothes dryer is making me lazy," says Mrs. Roger Johnson of Lawrence, Kansas. "No more trips to the laundromat, no more huge stacks of diapers, and in our basement-less home an electric clothes dryer is a must," she said.
