'Crock Of Gold' Opens Tuesday
"Tis mine this night, the honey crock, the precious Crock of Gold," says villain Simon Jennings of the University Players production of the "Crock of Gold."
The melodrama will open at 8 p.m. Tuesday night and will run through Saturday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday two performances will be given, one at 7:30 p.m. and the other at 9:30 p.m. The production will be given in the experimental theater of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
The play was described by one of the Players as having five acts and one hatchet. It is, however, a 19th century play written seriously but played with a humorous intent.
This is the sixth year for a melodrama to be given by the University Players.
This production by the Players is rather unusual as melodramas go. It is produced on a U-shaped stage whereas they are usually staged on a proscenium stage before a roll-up curtain.
During intermission and before the show, "hawkers" will sell popcorn and cokes, the proceeds to go to the treasury. At intermission articles of interest will be auctioned.
The Players are using simultaneous staging. This means a series of scenes is in view at once, with the lighting and action selecting the scene.

The group of 95 students is directed by Clayton Krehbiel, associate professor of music education; Margaret Ling, harpist instructor, will assist.
Two major works will be featured on Sunday's program. The first, the "Pope Marcellus" Mass of Palestrina is the most famous of the composer's 91 masses.
Soloists in the Britten work will be Beverly Runkle, Pittsburg senior; Wansley Sharp, Kansas City, Mo. senior; Rosemary Nation, Chanute sophomore; Martha Crowley, Pittsburg junior; Sara Jo Pursley, Coffeville senior, and Judy Buck, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore.
The second is "Ceremony of Carols" for treble voices and harp by the contemporary British composer, Benjamin Britten. Written in 1942, the work consists of nine carols set by the composer on a group of poems, puls an a cappella procession and recession and an interlude for the harp.
The final selection will consist of four traditional Christmas carols arranged by Shaw-Parker: "Masters in This Hall," "So Blest a Sight." "Christ Was Born on Christmas Day," and "Here, 'Mid the Ass and Oxen Mild.'"
