Templin Director Is My Fair Lady

No, the preceding is not a misprint, but rather, an example of the Cockney dialect spoken by many of the characters in "My Fair Lady," which will be presented in the University Theatre during the KU homecoming weekend.
THIS DIALECT, which is an important part of the plot of the Lerner and Loewe musical, is not found in the original Fair Lady story, first told over 2000 years ago.
There is a myth in which the sculptor-king Pygmalion falls in love with a statue of his own creation named Galatea. Aphrodite, pitying Pygmalion, brings the statue to life. This myth was the source for Shaw's play, Pygmalion, from which "My Fair Lady" was taken.
THE PYGMALION of the Lerner and Loewe musical is Henry Higgins, a teacher of English speech. His Galatea is Eliza Doowlitte, a Cockney flower girl whom Higgins transforms into a seeming English lady by teaching her to speak cultivated English.
MOST OF THE people in the show lead a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde existence during the rehearsal period. The best example of this

on stage-off stage life is Mrs. Marvin Crocker, resident director at Templin Hall.
Mrs. Crocker, a graduate student in Spanish education, is social, emotional and disciplinary advisor to 480 University students. Besides attending administrative meetings, counseling her residents, and advising the Templin newspaper, Mrs. Crocker still finds time to tutor students in Spanish.
Mrs. Crocker is just one example from the group of students and teachers that make up the "My Fair Lady" production. All members of the cast are learning something new. Some have never sung, others have never danced, and there are some that have never been connected with a theatrical production; yet all are striving for the same goal—to make the KU production of "My Fair Lady" entertaining for all who attend.
The living member of the most distinguished brother team ever to graduate from KU will return Sunday to help dedicate McCollum Hall, the new 10-story residence hall named for the brothers.
