"Last night's (Friday) opening performance of Come Back Little Sheba, Joplin Little Theatre's guest production being presented by the University of Kansas Players at the Park Playhouse, scored a hit with a large crowd of enthusiastic play-goers."—Joplin Globe.
The paper went on to say, "superbly directed by Dr. Lewin Goff, the cast gave a well-polished, nearprofessional performance."
The thirteen member KU troupe arrived in Jollin for its three day stay early Friday afternoon. Its hosts, the Jollin Little Theatre, Inc., welcomed the group.
Weather
Three hours before the opening performance, Dr. Goff, Bill Kuhke, Lee MacMorris, and Ned Norris appeared on a fifteen minute television interview program to plug the show. Meanwhile, Kay Brown, stage manager, and John Branigan, lighting designer, were busy arranging the set and hanging lights.

According to a newspaper quote in Sunday Joplin Globe, C. A. Gaillist, president of the Joplin Little Theatre, said, "The University of Kansas' 'Come Back Little Sheba' was by far the best guest production we have had. We hope to have them back next year."
After the closing final curtain Saturday night, the KU group reopened the theatre and partied on the discarded set for a couple of hours.

Fireworks Show Set For Stadium
One thousand dollars worth of fireworks will light up the campus at 8:30 p.m. Thursday when the Lawrence Junior Chamber of Commerce presents their third annual Independence Day fireworks display in Memorial Stadium.
An additional attraction will be a 30-minute musical program presented by the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
Harry Starks, chairman of the Junior Chamber of Commerce committee on the display, cautioned spectators at sitting on the hill at the south end of the stadium. Starks said that the area is a bit dangerous and interies with the firing of sky displays. Starks added, however, that the committee is stressing safety and will have an expert to fire the displays.
The approximately 45-minute ground and aerial display is expected to draw about 8,000 persons. Starks said that the event "carries the endorsement of Lawrence city officials" and is being held in cooperation with the University.
Tickets for the event cost 25 cents, advance, and 35 cents at the door. They may be purchased from any Chamber of Commerce member, the Sportsman's Shop, the Carousel Shop and the Round Corner Drug Store. Proceeds are for civic benefit and fostering youth activities.
