Humor, Parody Mark Play's Style
Take a beautiful girl, some handsome young men and a villain, placed in an idyllic mountain setting and one has all the ingredients for an operetta in the style of the early 1900's.
That is precisely what Rick Besoyan has done in his humorous parody, "Little Mary Sunshine," to be performed by the Experimental Theatre at 8:20 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and Feb. 18, 19, and 20 in Murphy Hall.
The plot is set against the background of the Colorado Rockies, Little Mary Sunshine, who runs an inn for vacationers, receives a number of young ladies from an Eastern finishing school. Frequenting the inn are some handsome forest rangers—and naturally the two groups meet. To complete the plot, there is a villain in the form of an Indian, Yellow Feather, who disputes the ownership of the land on which the inn is located.
Playing the part of young Mary Sunshine is Mary Phillips, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and her young forest ranger, Captain "Big Jim" Harrington, is played by Roger Michael Riley, Columbus junior. The play is directed by Nancy Vunovich, Arkansas City graduate.
"The putting-on of the show has been fun all along," Tom Winston, Dallas, Tex., senior, in charge of direction, said.
"The whole thing is a big parody, and the actors are careful not to overact it," he said.
Arranged on the U-shaped stage of the Experimental Theatre, the mountains and the rustic inn form the decor of the show. Costumes, make-up, decor and lighting were designed by Don Ferguson, Manhattan Beach, Calif., senior.
Rehearsals were started last semester after Thanksgiving. The cast, consisting of students in all fields, rehearsed the music first, and after the Christmas vacation the stage work was started.
Tickets are $1.50 and 75c for students with KU-ID cards at the Murphy Hall Box Office. For reservations call UN 4-3982.
Rock Chalk
Ticket Sales Set
Tickets for the 1965 Rock Chalk Revue, March 5 and 6, will be available in a block drawing to be held at 7:30 p.m., Thursday in Room 306 of the Kansas Union.
Any group of 20 or more persons may form a block and draw. "This includes not only people living
"This includes not only organized living groups or a particular segment of a living group but any other group of 20 or more," John Pound, Fredonia senior, and Rock Chalk Revenue sales manager, said.
"There is no limit imposed on the number of tickets to be purchased by any one group, but the exact number must be turned in at that time by the group representative," he said.
Each group will select a number at random and the seats will be "blocked off" and assigned to groups in that order. Pound feels that this will assure a fair seating allotment and will in most cases assure better seats than would be available if they were purchased individually.
The prices of the tickets vary according to the performance and to the quality of the seats. Friday night tickets will sell for $1.60 and $1.25. The Saturday night performance, featuring the presentation of trophies to the winning groups for their skits, will cost $1.90 and $1.60.
Tickets can be picked up by group representative at 7:00 p.m. Monday in the Pan-American Room of the Kansas Union. The tickets must be paid by check at that time.
"The sales staff encourages participation in this drawing as we feel it will benefit participants and ease the huge demand for tickets." Pound said.
"Tickets will go on sale in the information booth on campus and in the Kansas Union on Monday, February 22. Only those tickets which are not purchased during the block drawing will be available and the number will undoubtedly be limited," he said.
JFK Film Debated By GOP in House
WASHINGTON—(UPI) Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee today faced the sensitive problem of opposing - on principle - the commercial distribution of a government-made film on the late John F. Kennedy.
The committee was scheduled to act on a resolution, sponsored by Rep. Clement J. Zablocki, D-Wis, which would permit commercial showing in the United States of the highly praised film, "John F. Kennedy-Years of Lightning, Day of Drums."
The full-length motion picture was produced by the U. S. Information Agency USIA for distribution abroad only.
Plans Outlined For Greek Week
The traditional Greek Week sponsored by the Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council will begin April 19 with a panel discussion by sorority women in the Kansas Union ballroom according to Elizabeth March, Tulsa, Okla., junior and co-chairman of the event. Topic of the discussion is "Pros and Cons of the Greek System."
