'Henry IV' Called 'Disappointment'
By EVELYN HALL (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
The KU theater-going audience was presented a brightly wrapped gift last night in the shape of a new theater. Unfortunately, disappointment came upon opening the package when only a few pieces of glitter could be found in the bottom of an otherwise empty box. The parcel, of course, was the University Theatre's production of "King Henry IV." Part I.
Jerome Kilty, New York director and actor was a humorous and convincing Falstaff. His technique lived up to his reputation in every way. Mr. Kilty seemed, however, to ignore the deeper and more significant aspects of Falstaff's character. Falstaff was a tragic figure as well as a humorous one. Not enough emphasis was placed upon that contrast.
The performance of Bill Khukhe, Denver graduate student as Prince Hal, was far above that of any other student actor in the production. But he is capable of much more. Khukhe did not show the sensitivity which he has shown in previous theatrical productions.
The lighting, costuming and orchestration for the production were all done beautifully. Even the revolving stage added its magic touch until curtain call when, as it went round and round carrying the entire cast, it resembled an L-P record label.
Words, sentences and almost one entire speech were swallowed by Kuhlke. His speech directly after the death of Hotsur was almost entirely lost to the audience.
Roger Brown, Topeka senior, played a very pretty shell of a part as Hotspur. Sometimes the audience was with him and sometimes not. The duel between Hotspur and Hal was realistic, and Hotspur's death scene, if it had not been so drawn out and so poorly over-acted, would have been dramatic as it was intended.
Gene Ladd, former student of
Lawrence, who played the part of King Henry could be understood clearly throughout the entire play, an accomplishment to be sure.
Attempts were made by the University Theatre to improve upon Shakespeare in several places. The most glaring "improvement" came in the opening scene when Shakespeare was turned into pseudo ritualistic film-flammery.
Tried To Improve Play
The University Theatre bought a new airplane, hired an excellent pilot and raced down the runway last night, but they failed to get off the ground.
Climaxing the production, a beautiful mood was created in the last scene only to be destroyed by the inexecutable bringing in of Falstaff's army.
The Dean For a Day, Sophia Stathopoulos, Kansas City, Mo. senior, and one of the assistant deans, Barbara Bach, Kansas City, Mo. freshman, were elected Tuesday. The GSP upperclass women won the intramural basketball championship for the second straight year, and Wilma Deicher, Manhattan sophomore, was chosen one of the Homecoming queen finalists.
GSP Women Reap Hill Honors
Tuesday was a big day for Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall.
The women are all residents of GSP.
