THE MICHIGAN DAILY
G&S Society To Present 'Patience'
"Patience" will be presented
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
as the fall offering of the Gilbert
and Sullivan Society.
The shows begin at 8 p.m. in
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Poet in Love
Bunthorne, the aesthetic poet
and center of attention in the play,
is loved by twenty young maidens'
and oneunappealing old maid,
Lady Jane. Patience, the object
of Bunthorne's love, thinks he is
sort of "silly" However, she tries
desperately to love him, because
he is aesthetic. Love, to her, must
be selfless. Bunthorne's rival for
Patience's love is the poet Gros-
venor. Twenty dragoons vie against
Bunthorne for the love of the
twenty maidens.
Characters are Gershom Morn-
ingstar, Grad., as Bunthorne.
Carla Cargill, '59, Patience; John
A. Vavroch, '59SM, Grosvenor;
and Althea Romaine, '60, Lady'F
Jane.
Overture Original
An original overture for "Pa-
tience" was written by Robert
Brandzel, '57.
When the group presented Gil-
bert and Sullivan's "Thespis,"
their former music director, Jerry
Bilik, '55, wrote in Sullivan style
the only existing music for that
play. Original scores had been,
lost after the first production in
England in the 1800's.
"Last semester's show, 'Pina-
fore,' really scared us," commented
Ann Polak, '60, publicity manager.
"All the feminine leads were sick
by the day of the show. We of theI
crews called the show, "Tvery
Lady Carried a Basket," since the
substitute actresses had to have
something to hide their cues in."
Lights Go Out
Dturing their history there was
also the play in which all the
lights went out and the orchestra
crawled around in the dark try-
ing to find the socket, which was'
somewhere in the orchestra pit.
Productions of Gilbert and Sul-
livan on campus include the "Mi-
kado," "Pirates of Penzance,"
"Gondoliers," "Trial by Jury,"
"Ruddigore," "Princess Ida," and'
"Sorcerer."
The group tries to do all of the
Gilbert and Sullivan shows, and

WCBN Starts
International
Radio Show
WCBN, the residence hall radio
network, introduced a new pro-
gram to its listeners Friday 'Michi-
gan International.' It is being pro-
duced in order to bring to the
campus a greater awareness of its
international students, Marilyn
Damsky, '59, one of the program's
producers said,
The program was presented Fri-
day as a prelude to International
Week, Nov. 17-22 and will con-
tinue for the remainder of the
semester on Fridays from 5:00-
5:25.
In order to give the University
students a broader view of the dif-
ferent aspects of international life,
the programs will feature inter-
views, panel discussions, music
from different countries, guest
lecturers, and discussions of the
different cultures, habits and prob-
lems of both international and
American students and "their rela-
tions with each other at the Uni-
versity.

viser for the International Center

and on Dec. 6 in the Rackham
Building in Detroit.
According to Jim Bob Stephen-
son, dramatic director, Gilbert!
and Sullivan tries to keep reserves
in both the singing and dancing1
choruses. "There were not as many
lead parts this year," Stephenson
said, "and therefore many of the
students who would take G&S
parts tried out for MUSKET. Some
had to take a choice in the shows
because of a conflict in perform-
ance dates."
"The more theatre that the com-
munity has, the better it is for
all," he added.

There will be a campus "World's
Fair" on Sat., Nov. 21, according
to Maurice L. Zilber, '60, Union
executive councilman.
The theme for this Fair. Zilber
said, is "Brussels in Ann Arbor,"
referring to the recently completed
World's Fair, held in Brussels,
Belgium. A replica of the symbol
of the Brussels Fair, the Atomium,
will be on display at the Union
for the Fair.
Given out free at the Fair will
be posters and displays of the
Brussels Fair. These have been
contributed by the United States
Department of State and the Bel-
gium Government.
To Exhibit Photographs
The World's Fair theme will run
throughout the Union building on
Saturday, Zilber said. On the first
floor will be photographs of the
American exhibit at the Brussels
Fair. These have been obtained
from the State Department.
On the second and third floors,
there will be booths representing
various countries from which there'
are students on campus. The
booths will be built by the clubs
formed by students from these
countries.
Zilber said that he felt that
these booths would be "very in-
teresting."
During the afternoon, from 1:30
p.m. to 4:30 p.m., there will be a
continuous showing of m ovie
shorts. "Featured every hour ona
the hour," Zilber continued, "'Out-
look on Brussels,' a film strip pre-
pared and shown by a national
television network, will be shown."
Also, information concerning
the International Monetary Fund
will be distributed to interested
students.
Admission to the Fair will cost
25 cents in the afternoon and 50
cents in the evening. In addition
there will be 50 cents charge for
viewing the varity show in the
evening.
"Have Talent"
The theme of the varity show
will be "Have Talent, Have Trav-
eled." Zilber stated that this show
will feature the best "international
talent on campus."
The Fair is organized by the
Union in conjunction with the
associated nationality clubs of the
International Students Associa-
tion, Zilber said.
Proceeds from the Fair will be
used to pay for the publishing of
an International Handbook, simi-
lar to the "M" Handbook. This
booklet, to be published by the
Union, will be written by a joint
committee from the Union and
international students. It will con-
tain information about both Amer-
ican customs and campus customs.
