Jum Ivey, Chicago junior, does a little loosening up for his title role in Wednesday
night's dress rehearsal of "Anatol." The play begins at 8 tonight in the Inger Theatre, Murphy Hall.
'Anatol' production sparkles throughout
If first impressions are true representations of character, then it is safe to say that the forthcoming 1976-77 KU theater season should be nothing short of phenomenal.

Reviewer
The new season opened last night with 'Anatol', a cycle of four plays set in Vienna in the late 1800s. The plays center on a do-do man, a town-far a playboy, and the women in his life.
JAMES IVY works well in his role of Anatol. He underplays his role in the small Inge Theatre, choosing to develop his character with voice inflection and facial expressions. When he agonizes over his lower's possible infidelity, it isn't what
The role of Max, Anastol's best friend and confident, is played superbly by Frank Robert Freeman. In his character, Freeman is called upon for a challenge, when he conveys them all well. Max is always there to smooth his friend's mistakes, pull him back when he's gone too far and push when he hasn't gone far enough.
'Shootist' is Wayne's best shot
Each one of the four plays centers on a woman, who is or has been the object of Anatol's love.

"It's an-American not to like John Wayne."—Harvey Kelley in "Who's That Knocking on My Door?"
The John Wayne movies of recent years have been a real test of patriotism. Often accused of playing the same character in every film, Wayne has plodded through almost every movie he's made in the last 10 years. But the fact that sexuality isn't enough for most of his fans, but since the retirement of Howard Hawks and John Ford, no director has been able to keep the Duke

"True Grit" gave Wayne an Academy Award, yet his performance in that film didn't earn him the honor, even if he did wear an eyepatch. And too many of his films since then have been potbottlers like Charlie Brown, whom seemed preoccupied with the logistics of making the tired old fossil look alive.

Beginning with a review of an imaginary career composed of clips from earlier westerns, the film follows Wayne in the guee of gunslumber J. B. Books. The year is 1901, and Books has just returned to Carson City to get a doctor's diagnosis of his pains.

But even though the film's affectionate handling of its star makes it clear that these actors are on hand to pay tribute to the greatest box-office star of all time.

made to seem even greater because his screen legend evokes the proper sense of awe and admiration commands from the townpeople.
THE FIRST woman to make an appearance is La Dene Morton as Cora, Anatol's current lover, who his suspects is unfaithful to him. The scenario is devoted to Anatol hypnotizing the girl to ask her if she wants to be arguing with Max when he doesn't have the courage to know the truth.
Far from being the broad self-parody he played in "The Cowboys," Wayne here is a real-life country boy who obides by a strict personal code. And in the best Wayne tradition, "The Shootist" is a straight-shooting moral tale. Most important of all, through this film returns to this proper place as a true hero.
So what if it is just a John Wayne flick? By God, it makes you proud to be an American.
Gabrielle, of an Anatou-former lovers, is portrayed by Teresa Peterson. She is a woman who often leaves left by Anatol and sees no reason to hide her bitterness over it. She can be as elegant as a waltz or as cold and bitter as the December evening when she meets him in a difficult role that Peterson performs with apparent ease.
The few lines of dialogue Cora has before she drifts off to sleep are humorous and Morton delivers them well.
HEATHER LAIRD as Annie provides humor in the play when she tells Anatol she is leaving him before he can break things off to go with his new found love. The irony is clear as
Anatol breaks into a towering rage. As the champagne drenched Annie, Leair says her humorous farewell to her lover with a dry wit mixed in innocent charm.
Anatol spends his last night of bachelorhood with Illona, played by Barbara Mounsey. She becomes enraged when she finds that she is to be discarded by Anatol. Illinois delivers a rotten punch up to the adage that hath hell fry like a woman scorned.
AS THE FIREY Illona.
Mounse has the strongest role of the four women and she more than convincing performance.
J. L. McClure, who directed and translated the Arthur Schnitzler plays, did a far better job than one would expect of someone who is only a graduate student. In the forthcoming theater productions directed by Mamie Dorsey, the direction shouldn't falter in comparison with other directors.
McClure did an excellent *pwm* of knowing when to direct with an iron fist and when to allow a finger to touch their characters on their own.
ED KIRKMAN'S sets were simple, often consisting of no more than a prop or two, but nonetheless he conveys the mood of the scene without fail. The absence isn't less, but just enough.
Emil Muffich's faithful recreation of the Victorian age costumes was flawless down to the smallest detail.
Anatol is a play that exhibits rare balance between what is not too little in the theater. The effect prompts interesting evening of theater.

Burger bugged? Try natural foods
By ROB EMBERS
You've been a burger joint junkie for years and now, after a bad trip on a quarter pound, you decided to cook healthy food to help your failing health. Where can you go?
A good place to start would be Massachusetts street, where natural food restaurants and one natural food grocery.
THEY ARE called natural food restaurants because the food they serve is generally unprocessed and unprepared. For example, instead of buying bread, Cornucopia bakes its own, using unprocessed flour.
Glenn Sohl, one of the owners of the Cormopusia Restaurant, 1801 Massachusetts St., called his restaurant a scratch food restaurant because most foods are made using basic ingredients possible. He said the restaurant served high quality, but inexpensive meals.
SOHL, A FORMER KU student, started the restaurant two years ago, and despite not having had previous restaurant experience, he's making a profit.
"I found myself going nowhere in school, so I started something I could get satisfaction from," be said. "I'd be a fifth semester freshman who had stayed in school."
THE CAFE ALSO prepares its meals from scratch, using no sugar, white flour, hydrogenated oils or food containing preservatives or additives. Because it is a
For those who run Sister Kettle Cafe, 1347 Massachusetts is making a profit is a collection is a collectively owned and operated vegetarian restaurant. About 50 people are in the restaurant, and they are paid an hourly wage for working in the cafe.
Sue Bryant, one of the members of the collective, said one of the main reasons for opening the cafe was to educate the public on the need to eat locally and sustainably. She said meat production used large amounts of grain needed for human consumption.
vegetarian cafe, no meat, fish or fowl are served.
ANOTHER REASON for opening the restaurant, she said, was to create jobs for members of the collective.
"I'm very philosophically in favor of creating your own job," she said. "I also like working with a group of people
Vegetarian meals cost more in the winter...because the prices of fruits and vegetables go up then.
with a common idea. It's sort of like a big family."
Sister Kettle Cafe gets some of its food from another collective, The Community Merchantile, 615 Massachusetts St. The 300 members of the Merchantile food their食 in food for two hours of work a month and a $5 membership fee.
PATTY SPENCER, a member of the collective, said that nonmembers were welcome to buy in the store, but that most business came from members.
She said the store carried both organic and inorganic foods, and that hasn't been sprayed by insecticide or grown with insecticide.
The Casabah Cafe, 803 Massachusetts St., the oldest of the Massachusetts Street natural food restaurants, is nestled in the back of a craft shop. Its menu, like most
natural food restaurants, lists meals that may be strange to students who are used to eating meat. Shrimp and vegetable tempura, dipped in egg batter and fried in pure soybean oil, or crab quiche are two of the meals served at the Casahb.
ALAN AIDSF, a cook at the Casbah, said students could probably afford some of the food they would get good food.
"I don't think I was aware until I started working here of the difference between run-of-the-mill fast food places and good food," he said. "I've seen the short cuts they take."
The employees at the Casbah are dedicated, Aidif said, and won't serve anything that appeal to them personally.
Looking at a typical natural food meal, one gets the idea that anything that grows is appealing. Organic broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts and celery are some of the weeds by burger freaks are just a few of the foods that natural food eaters like.
AIDIF SAID the meal prices were usually about three times the price of the food they are less because people will pay only so much for certain foods, he said. Vegetarian meals cost more in the winter, he said, because the prices of out-of-season fruit and vegetables go up them.
Bryant said the prices at Sister Kite Cafe were about $15 per person for ingredients. This compares favorably, she said, with most restaurants, which charge the cost of the ingredients.
BOTH THE CASBAH and the Cornucopia have cooks prepare the meals. The meals are frozen and heated in a microwave oven after they have been ordered. Sister Kettle Cafe does not use microwave ovens.
