'Happy Hunting' Now At Starlight
The cast of "Happy Hunting" the happy hit now playing the Starlight Theatre includes three of the musical's original Broadway stars. It will run through Sunday.
The New York success featured Virginia Gibson in the role of Beth Livingstone, Mary Finney in her role of Maud Foley and Olive Templeton as Mrs. Sanford Stewart Sr., all of whom take their original roles here.
New to the east are two big names in television and night, clubs, singer Bill Hayes as the Duke of Granada and singing-comedienne Jean Kean as the irrepressible Liz Livingstone.
Set at the time of the Grace Kelly-Prince Rainier wedding, the musical comedy has several memorable songs, including the famous "Mutual Admiration Society."
Opening Monday, June 30 for a 1-week run is "Rosalinda," featuring the soaring music by Johann Strauss and lyrics set to the immortal tunes by Paul Kerby. This is the first time since 1956 that the outdoor theatre has presented what might be termed a "light opera," and Starlight officials report a brisk advance sale for the musical.
The story line is adapted from the comic opera "Die Fledermaus." Singers Jean Fenn and Jack Russell head the cast for the show. Miss Fenn, takes the title role and Mr. Russell, a featured singer for four years on the Sid Caesar television show, plays her husband, Eisenstein.
The philandering couple make beautiful music together, but each eye's someone else in the delightfully rougish tale set in gay Vienna. Jacquelynne Moody, playing Adele, the Eisenstein's maid who would rather attend parties than tend the table, adds comedy to the show, as does William Olvis as Alfredo and Colee Worth as Frosch.
Miss Moody is the leading lyric coloratura soprano of the New York City Opera. In the Starlight presentation she sings the wonderful aria "The Laughing Song" which has been a highlight of her career. This will be her first Starlight show.
Tickets for "Rosalinda," scheduled nightly at 8:15 p.m. June 30 through July 6, may be obtained by writing the Starlight ticket office, 1217 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri. A new general admission block of 3,000 unreserved seats are on sale only the night of the performance. The theatre is located in Swope Park in Kansas City, Mo.

"Roachomon" a Japanese film with English subtitles, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today in Bailey Auditorium.
Japanese Film Tells Of Crime
The story is related by enacting four versions of a crime which was committed 1200 years ago near Kyoto, Japan. The stories of the victims and witnesses all differ and no one relates the happenings candidly, as each individual distorts the story to glorify his own role.
The film is based on a short story entitled "In a Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. He is proclaiming the essential selfishness of man.
Machiko Kyo, the leading actress in "Rashomon," acted in "Teahouse of the August Moon." Toshiro Mifune plays the male lead in "Rashomon." Akira Kurosaw is the director.
The film received the Grand Prize at the Venice Film Festival and the Academy Award as the Best foreign Film in 1951.
