Shawn, Elizabeth Allen Star in Starlight 'Destry'
Dick Shawn and Elizabeth Allen will head a star-studded cast in "Destry Rides Again," which opens the Starlight Theatre season June 19.
Dick Shawn will be starred in the role of the gun-shy deputy sheriff, "Tom Destroy," in the musical comedy which scored a 14-month-long hit in New York, and is based on the Max Brand novel and its movie version which starred Tom Mix in his first talking picture.
Shawn is actually four performers in one—comedian, singer, dancer, and romantic leading man. He appeared with Judy Holliday and Steve Allen in the first five Max Liebman TV spectaculars, and has appeared at the London Palladium, both as a headliner and as a solo star.
Elizabeth Allen will be co-starred as "Frenchy," friend of the Bottleneck bad-man who complicates Destry's efforts at law enforcement. She will be remembered for her performance last year as "Babe" in the Starlight production of "The Pajama Game."
Well-known to national TV audiences as the original "And Away We Go!" girl on the Jackie Gleason Show, Miss Allen also has appeared on the Jack Paar, Sid Caesar, and Today shows, and on Robert Montgomery Presents, Twilight Zone, Public Defender, and Wells Fargo. The 20th Century Fox star also created the role of Juliet in the Broadway comedy hit, "Roman-off and Juliet."
Music and lyrics of "Destroy Rides Again" are by Harold Rome, tune-
smith of such major previous hits as "Fanny" and "Wish You Were Here." The score includes the stirring "Ballad of a Gun," two rapidfire patter numbers, "Tomorrow Morning" and "Only Time Will Tell," and a hearty cowboy ditty, "Once Knew a Fella," all sung by Dick Shawn.
Miss Allen has an abundance of solos — "I Know Your Kind," "I Hate Him!" "Fair Warning," "That Ring on the Finger," and "I say Hello."
One of the most frequently-praised numbers in Harold Rome's score is "Are You Ready, Gyp Watson?" a mocking dirge of townspeople outside the cell-window of a jailbird who has an appointment coming up with a tree and a rope. Another tongue in- cheek chorus number is "Not Guilty," a rehearsal for a framed verdict at a travesty of a trial.
The show's funniest song is a patter song of Destry's in reply to the questions of townspeople as to where he was when he was out searching for evidence. "Only Time Will Tell," is his song of evasions and mystification.
Physics Study Is Scheduled
Research assistants on the project are: David Pellett, Topeka; Paul O Johnson, Lawrence, and Ernest Carlson, Ellinwood. All are graduate students in physics.
Two KU physicists have received a $13,860 Air Force research contract for work in high energy physics.
Dr. Robert Stump, associate professor, and Dr. Arnold A. Strassenburg, assistant professor, will direct a project involving the building of a bubble chamber and spark chamber to be used in connection with a 12-billion volt accelerator at the Argonne Laboratories. Similar projects are being carried out by research teams at other U.S. institutions.
Drs. Stump and Strassenburg, with their assistants, will use the equipment to conduct experiments in the formation and ultimate decay of "strange" particles, a scientific designation for newly discovered particles.
Botanist to Study Fossils in Kansas
Dr. Robert Baxter, associate professor of botany, has received a $17,800 National Science Foundation grant for two years of study entitled "The Fossil Flora of Eastern Kansas."
The research, now in its third year, is a complete taxonomical study of the fossil plants of eastern Kansas, in an attempt to show a correlation of the rocks of the Pennsylvanian layer of Kansas with the upper Carboniferous rock of Europe.
Dr. Baxter said that eventually a "profusely illustrated" book describing the plants and their forms of preservation would be published.
IS Adds FB Seats
AMES, Iowa—Iowa State is making 4,500 more seats available to fans as it mails out its football ticket information and application blanks. Four capacity crowds watched the 1960 games in Ames. As a result, 4,000 seats have been added to the stadium and another 500 have become available through removal of the two old press boxes.
Two Color Films Set for Tonight
Two color films, "Waterways and Flyways of the North" and "Discovering Germany," will be shown tonight in the area east of Robinson Gym. The show will begin at approximately 8 p.m., or whenever it gets dark. In case of rain, the films will be shown in the Visual Education room in Bailey Hall.
4 to Participate In Ad Internships
Four KU students will take part in a newly, established summer internship program for majors in advertising.
The program has been initiated by the William Allen White School of Journalism to give juniors experience in advertising media, agencies, retail store ad departments and company ad departments before graduating.
The advertising interns are: Samuel T. Mlynar, Ansonia, Conn., who will work in the advertising department of the Topeka Daily Capital; Harold F. Smith, Jr., Lawrence, who will work in the research department of the Potts-Woodbury Advertising Agency, Kansas City, Mo.; David Wiens, Hillsboro, who will work in the advertising and sales promotion department of J. A. Folger Coffee Co., Kansas City, Mo., and Frederick M. Harris III, Chanute, who will work in the advertising department of the Olathe News.
All are juniors, except Harris, who was graduated last week and will join the armed forces in the fall.

Named Eldridge Scholar
Sheila Marie Ryan, Aurora, Mo. junior, has been selected by the department of sociology and anthropology as the Eldridge Scholar for the 1961-62 academic year.
The scholarship is given in memory of Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology at the University from 1920 until his death in 1953.
take part. The activity consists of informal playmaking under the guidance of a leader. Children work on rhythms, pantomimes, dialogues, characterizations, and eventually the playing of stories.
There is no attempt made to turn the children into performers in the formal theater sense. Emphasis is upon the development of the children taking part and no audience is involved. The group will be under the leadership of Miss Karen Saad, a senior in the College.
