SEE MOM! I PULLED AND PULLED AND—While taking a break during a Sunday concert, an unidentified Midwestern Music and Art Camper thought he would perform twice as well if he put two clarinets together. However, the raucous squawk that ensued forced him to be more conservative when assembling his instruments in the future.

'Stage Door' Has It's Gems Despite Out-dated Story
Summer Theatre 57's production of "Stage Door" Friday and Saturday in the Student Union Ballroom had its gems, notwithstanding a somewhat out-dated story by George Kaufman and Edna Ferber.
Actually, the play does not speak well of the theatre. Living in an establishment such as the Footlights Club, a boarding-house for budding actresses, the setting of the play would possibly drive any normal being crazy with despondent actresses committing suicide, movie-moguls telling talented young girls to stay poor but happy on the stage, irritating playwrights, girls joining the demimonde, and ex-actresses winding up as boarding-house matrons.
Vicki Sue White, Jerry Holt, Don Blades and Kay Carroll were the four characters who had more to do with the actual plot than anybody else. Although nearly everybody in the enormous cast had an inflection problem from time to time, these four held the show together through the use of some excellent moments supplied by Dr. Jack Brooking's direction.
Jerry Holt, in handling the role of Keith Burgess, a frustrated playwright who turns to Hollywood and eventual obscurity, was highly successful in showing a real person under the pseudo-sophisticate of his character.
Miss White, playing the role of Terry Randall, a talented but poor actress who passes up a lucrative movie contract in favor of waiting for "the big break," added life and interest to the stage with each entrance. She creditably performed some fairly emotional scenes.
Don Blades, as David Kingsley, the movie-producer who provides the "big break" for Terry Randall, displayed charm and heroism despite his vocal difficulties.

Miss Carroll, playing Kaye Hamilton, the suicide victim, although on stage only the first half of the play, joined with Franz Von Sauer in one of the two most effective character portrayals of the performance. A victim of poverty and fear, she radiated emotional instability throughout her appearance.
Other performers worthy of note in the cast were Katy Wright and Elaine Hartzell as "Big" and "Little" Mary, two comedians; Chuck Marvin and Mattie, the colored custodians; Barbara Foley as Bernice Niemeyer, a lovable little girl with big dreams; Delores Harris who deftly executed a sobbing scene; and Shirley Dickson as Judith Canfield.
