'Cherry Orchard' Shows Humanity Facing Change
Anton Chekhov's play, "The Cherry Orchard," which began last night at University Theatre portrays the emotions and feelings which individuals experience in the face of social change.
Madame Lyubov Ranevsky has been in France for five years. Upon her return to her estate near Kharkov, Russia, she finds that it must be sold in order to pay taxes.
YERMOLAY LOPAHIN, a prosperous, shrewd business man, suggests to Madame Ranevsky a way to save her estate and its cherry orchard. He tells her to lease the land for summer cottages. However, this idea is repugnant to Madame Ranevsky, who refuses to abandon her past.
Several months pass during which Lopahin attempts to gain Madame Ranevsky's reconsideration of his suggestion. She still refuses.
The estate and the orchard is placed for auction. Lopahin, who sees in his purchase the realization of his fondest dreams. Now he owns the very land on which his father and grandfather were once servants.
CHEKHOV'S FINISHING touch shows the death of an old servant as he closes the house. This scene is accompanied by the sound of an axe falling on cherry wood.
This incisive view of human nature which provides meaning to each viewer will be presented by the following cast through Saturday night: Madame Lyubov Ranevsky, Jacqueline Brookes, New York guest artist; Anya, Karin Gold, Overland Park sophomore; Varya, Anne Kretzmeier, Liberal senior; Leonid Gaev, Steve Callahan, Lawrence graduate; Yermolay Lopahin, Clayton Crenshall, Lawrence senior; and Pyotr Trofimov, Vincent Angotti, Lawrence graduate.

'Don Quixote' Cited For Its Irony-Parody
"Don Quixote" has innumerable interpretations of irony and parody, Herman Iventosch, assistant professor of Spanish, said at the Humanities Forum last night.
Prof. Iventosch said the 16th century novel by Miguel Cervantes emphasized characterized and character conflicts, a style foreign to literature of that time.
Prof. liventosch said research conducted by himself and several colleagues has led him to a three-part review of the novel. He cautioned that the three parts in reality are not in the book.
Prof. Iventosch's first review aspect concerned the historical background of the novel. He said the novel is a "rational rejection of chivalry" but is not an immoral story as some people believe.
"Don Quixote" is a parody of chivalry. Prof. Iventosch emphasized as the second point. Cervantes, he said, was disturbed by a 15th century novel which had a farmer losing his mind by reading ballads of chivalry. "Don Quixote" is an ironic result of this force.
Prof. Iventosch's research has led him to believe that Cervantes reflects upon himself in the novel. Any failure in the novel, he added, may be the projection of an incident in the author's life into the story.
