Guest Artists To Dance In Camp Ballet Recital
Ernst De Jong will be appearing in a slightly different role than the last time he visited KU when he and his wife perform as guest artists at the ballet recital of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp Saturday.
De Jong, who was a scholarship student at Oklahoma University from the Union of South Africa, last appeared at KU representing OU in the diving contest at a swimming meet. Both he and his wife, Gwen, were graduated in 1956 from the University of Oklahoma where they majored in art. They are students of Robert E Bell, director of the ballet division of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
"Gwen was my student for seven years," Bell said. "De Jong became interested in ballet through her and has been my student for three years. They were married two years ago."
De Jongs Will Appear Sunday Mr. and Mrs. De Jong are employed by the art department of an advertising agency in Oklahoma City and were commissioned to do a mural in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Oklahoma's statehood this year. The couple also will appear at the Camp's symphony orchestra concert Sunday afternoon
The ballet recital will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday in Hoch Auditorium. Bell, a former member of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, will be completing his third year as director of the ballet division of the camp. For several years he was soloist with the Paris Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
Solists in the recital will be Eugenia K. Hoefflin, Oklahoma City, dancing "Variation from Les Sylphides" by Chopin and "The Maiden and the Nightengale" by Granados; Marilyn Phillips, Oklahoma City, dancing "Oriental Dance" by Ketelby, and Judy Wilburn, Oklahoma City, dancing "Queen of Bohemia" by Chopin.

Pro Ball System 'Is The Best Yet'
WASHINGTON — (UP) — Harold (Red) Grange, one of football's all-time grants, praised the current setup in professional football Thursday as "the best system that's been worked out yet."
Grange and four other gridiron giants were called by the House Anti-Trust Subcommittee to testify on workings of the National Football League.
Two present-day players—Chuck Bednarik of the Philadelphia Eagles and Jack Jennings of the Chicago Cardinals—were to testify first. Then the subcommittee planned to hear from Grange, ex-Chicago Bears quarterback Sid Luckman and former Bear Lineman George Connor.
Grange, whose exploits at the University of Illinois gained him nationwide fame in the 1920s, played pro ball for the Bears from 1925 through 1934 and then became an assistant coach for the team.
He now handles telecasts for college and pro games.
Grange was asked what he thought about football's reserve clause. A player signs a one-year contract with a team which then has an option to sign him up a second year.
"In all my years in professional football I've never heard a player complain about it." Grange said.
The subcommittee is studying bills which would ease the effects of a Supreme Court decision last Feb. 25 placing pro football under the anti-trust laws.

Summer Theater Is 70 Years Old
The so-called Citronella Circuit (nicknamed for a mosquito repellent) began at Peaks Island, Me. in 1887 and now is a network of more than 200 intensive training centers for Brodaway, television and the movies.
BOSTON - (UP) - The summer theater movement is 70 years old.
The players love it, and so do the customers, in increasing numbers yearly.
The summer theater has become the lifeline of experience for youthful thespians who have small chance to break directly into the Broadway theater these years.
Neophyte players add to their acting experience by making sets and learning first hand the intricacies of stage, lighting. The young players also get a chance to rub elbows with professionals and appear before the public—and get paid for it
90 in New England
New England, where the summer theater began, still is the most important part of the circuit. The Lake Whalom Playhouse at. Fitchberg, Mass., established in 1893, and the Lakewood Theater near Skowhegan, Me., which started about 1900, still are going strong.
Latest count shows there are 90 straw-hat theaters in the sixstate region. Box office receipts are expected to top the $2,500,000 mark this summer.
The popularity of the summer theater moved southward from Cape Cod into Connecticut and New Jersey and westward into New York and Pennsylvania. Summer theaters also flourished in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina and are scattered across the country to the West Coast.
Summer productions of spectacular Broadway musicals such as "Oklahoma" and "South Pacific" attract almost as much attention in scaled-down hot weather versions as they did originally.
Thousands of theater-goers who were unable to get tickets for original productions flock to the summer theaters.
New plays are born and others are revived on the straw-hat circuit. TV stars such as Imogene Coca and Faye Emerson use the summer productions to get the feel of playing before live audiences.
Man Suffers Catastrophe
WEST HARTFORD, Conn.—(UP) —Robert Carey has a better reason than most for hating cats. His new station wagon was smashed when it turned over after Carey swerved to miss a cat that darted into the vehicle's path.
New Mark Twain Books May Be Published In Near Future
BERKELEY, Calif.—(UF)—A million and a half words from the prolific pen of Mark Twain lie unpublished and untapped in 11 filing cabinets held by the author's estate.
But if the plans of Prof. Henry Nash Smith materialize, Twain fans will have to build new shelves for their libraries. There is even a bit more Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn to come.
Smith, fourth literary editor of the Twain estate, wants to publish six volumes of the unpublished material.
Work has already started on another volume containing documents related to the composition of the Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn books. Edited by Walter Blair of the University of Chicago, it will include two unfinished pieces entitled, "Huck and Tom Among the Indians" and "Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy."
In addition, the Harvard University Press will soon publish a book of the 40-year correspondence between Twain and novelist-editor William Dean Howells.
All this, despite the fact that Smith and his three predecessors as literary editor of the estate—Albert Bigelow Paine, Bernard de Voto and Dixon Wecter—have already published 19 volumes since Twain's death in 1910.
Little Trade Value
"It is possible that there is little of commercial trade value left" Smith says, "but there is much that should be made available for historians, scholars and others interested in the life and works of this great American author. You could say we have now reached the scholarly phase of the publication of Twain's works."
Smith is professor of English at the University of California, whose press recently published his "Mark Twain of the Enterprise," a volume taken from Twain's writings for the Virginia City, Nev., Territorial Enterprise. The university press said the book sold out within a month of publication. Smith thinks the "scholarly

phase" could include these volumes
Additional Volumes
1. Additional notebooks to those already published, including the Mississippi River notebook of 1882.
2. Unpublished literary manuscripts, including sketches and stories, many incomplete.
3. Documents bearing on the "Mysterious Stranger," the book Twain directed withheld until after his death due to its pessimistic philosophy.
4. Twain's business letters dealing with such enterprises as the type-setting invention and the publishing house he backed.
5. A miscellaneous volume of letters which Smith calls a "mop-up," which would include a calendar of all Twain's letters.
