Moliere Play 'Impotent, Unfunny'
The spirit of Moliere hobbled across three centuries to help the Studio Theatre present his comedy, "The Doctor In Spite of Himself," Wednesday in the Student Union Ballroom.
Bv TOM SAWYER
After this encounter, it is highly unlikely that the most brilliant wilt in theatrical history will ever be able to hobble back to his nice, quiet grave again. For though Moliere fought bravely and well, he fell before his age-old and virtually impregnable adversary, the English language.
Translation Leaves Little
Students of France's comic genius would rightly expect that great satirical pen to say something. But after much whitiling of a ragged translation, Molière's work retained little, if any, import.
The term "revival" is most inappropriate as it usually means to reinforce with life, vigor and strength. The strength of this classic, though not Moliere's best, should lie in its contemporary meaning, significance and interest. Emasculation through translation has left the dramatist impotent and unfunny. And antiquarianism is an unfair and insufficient justification for presenting him thus.
The artistic success of the evening was undoubtedly the brilliant array of period costumes designed by Sally Six, instructor of speech and drama. Robert Potter, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, as the woodcutter who finds wealth in posing as a doctor, was in rascally good voice. A briefly amusing caricature of the wealthy townman who coughed up the doctor's fee and a little phlegm besides Gary was created by William Howze. Kansas City, Kan. senior.
Other cast members had little to do save Phyllis Graham, Almena junior and Don Scanlin (hometown unavailable) as the fetching maid

and her jealous husband. Barbara Richards, Hays sophomore, was convincingly shrewish as Potter's wife and Sara Davis, Kansas City, Mo. senior and John Angel, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, were acceptable as the young lovers.
You simply rent a barn, place chairs in a circle and sell seats. The audience, supposedly, "becomes part of the action" (most terrifying if the play were "Richard III").
For the uninitiated, the unique arena staging, or theater-in-the round, is a virus currently sweeping the country. It is an economical device used to avoid renting a theater.
There is no scenery and all illusion is lost. What one sees, in this case, are a few familiar campus faces with greasepaint smeared on them. Though this medium may be adaptable for prize-fights, circuses, bullfights and crap games, one does not go to a ballroom to watch actors, but rather to dance.
Moreover, it passes off this fru-gality as an artistic achievement. Try Kansan Want Ads. Get Results.
