Curtain To Rise Last Time On Wiley Orchestra Concert
The curtain goes up for the last time on a KU orchestra concert directed by Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra. The concert will be at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium.
Prof. Wiley came to KU 22 years as editor of the band. In 1942
he started his work with the orchestra. The orchestra did not tour until five years ago. It was thought that the type of music the orchestra played would not interest students. To stimulate interest in the orchestra.
Mr. Wiley
orchestra, planned a joint orchestra and band four.
Starts Music Camp
Another of Prof. Wiley's projects was the music and art camp which he began directing 21 years ago. The first summer about 25 students attended. Each year it has grown until now it is one of the largest music camps in the country.
"My first love has been the band and orchestra and the music camp." Prof. Wiley said. "I spent most of my life working with them."
Barks Disrupt Concert
When asked about his experiences, the sandy haired man leaned back in his chair and said, "We've had some funny ones."
"Once on a band tour, we did the Whistling Farmer as an encore, he said. Two boys supplied the sound effects—one whistled and one barked. During the sound effects a German shepherd came down the isle ready for a fight. It disrupted the whole concert."
"In one concert, a cymbal crashed to the floor and another time a drummer accidently threw his drum sticks out in the audience."

'Interesting,Well Done'
By IONE TRIMMING (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
The three scenes of acting in the round at the director's workshop were interesting and well done Thursday night.
The excerpt from "The Circle" by W. Somerset Maugham was well directed and, as a whole, well played. Marvin Carlson, Wichita senior, director of the scenes, had the situation in hand.
His definition of the roles was good except at the end. Characterization seemed to tumble and the emotions of the audience floundered at this point. Except for one or two, the actors clicked as individuals and as a unit.
A carefully chosen cast was a virtue of the scenes from "Adding Machine" by Elmer Rice. Glenn Bickle, Spearfish, S. D. sophomore, as Shirdle, gave a live quality to his role. His actions fitted the character.
Duke Howze, Kansas City, Kan. senior, plotted the action in four corners of the stage. This arrangement resulted in a smooth shift from one scene to another.
"The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde offered a change of mood to the audience. The scenes were well directed by Kay Brown, Larned junior. Top performances of two girls added much to these scenes. They were Ann Bigbee, Hugoton freshman, and Lee Ann Johnston, Topeka senior.
The biggest downfall was an attempt to connect scenes with explanations by a narrator. It confused the audience.
Actors were handicapped by the field-sized floor they used. The audience was moved to far out in the re-shuffle for this scene.
