Liberty MUSIC SHOP' Phone NO 2-0675 Childress, has been selected as the New Play Project for 1966 by The University Professional Theatre Program, Executive Director Rob- ert C. Schnitzer has announced. The premiere production will take place Dec. 7-11 in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Eugene V. Wolsk, producer of "Lion In Win- ter," and Max Allentuck, Broad- way manager, have taken an op- Michigan opening. "Wedding Band" will be direct- ed by Marcella Cisney, the PTP's associate director, who staged the the successful "An Evening's Frost" in Ann Arbor and New York, as the 1965 New Play Proj- ect. Ed Whittstein, whose de- signs for "Sgt. Musgrave's Dance" won this year's Obie Award from the New York critics, will create the setting for the new produc-' tion. Miss Childress is a member of the board of the New Drama- tists Committee, where her new play was given a reading which attracted favorable attention. Her earlier work, "Trouble In Mind," was well received in an Off Broadway run some seasons ago. She had been awarded a grant by the University to enable her to participate in the rehearsals; and is also the recipient of a cre- ative writing fellowship from Radcliffe College. She was a member of the original cast of "Anna Lucasta" and the author of a collection of short pieces en- titled "Like One of the Family. "Wedding Band" was chosenl from over 200 scripts because of the quality of its writing and its pertinent and moving theme,", Schnitzer stated in making the. announcement. The Professional Theatre Program annually pro-1 duces a new work for the theatre as a basic policy. In 1962 it was Richard Baldridge's "We Com- rades Three." which will be re- vised and re-staged in Ann* Arbor this fall prior to its Lyceum The- atre engagement. "The Child Buyer" was the 1963 New Play: "An Evening's Frost" by Donald Hall won' the award in 1964 and "Herkales," by Archibald Mac- "Leish. was given a World Pre- miere in 1965 under the Pro- gram's aegis. "Wedding Band" will be the fifth new work in live seasons to be presented by the University. If "Wedding Band" proceeds to Broadway it will also be the elev- enth production originated tor the PTP to enrich both the re- gional and New York theatre scenes, including "War & Peace," "Judith," "Man & Superman" and "You Can't Take It With You," which were created by the Uni- versity's resident company, The APA, in Ann Arbor prior to New York. Other winners of the New Play Project, including "An Evening's Frost," moved to New York after the Ann Arbor season. The plays are performed at the Phoenix Theatre in New York, the winter home of the University's - APA. The Phoenix Theatre is also sup- ported by a subscription fund.

It may not be much to look at. But beneath that humble exterior beats an air-cooled engine. It won't boil over and ruin your piston rings. It won't freeze over and ruin your life. It's in the back of the car for better traction in snow and sand. And it will give you about 29 miles to a gallon of gas. After a while you get to like so much about the VW, you even get to like what it looks like. You find that there's enough legroom for al- most anybody's legs. Enough headroom for almost anybody's head. With a hat on it. Snug-fitting bucket seats. Doors that close so well you can hardly close them. (They're so airtight, it's better to open the window a crack first.) Those plain, unglamorous wheels are each sus- pended independently. So when a bump makes one wheel bounce, the bounce doesn't make the other wheel bump. It's things like that you pay the $1585 for, when- you buy a VW. The ugliness doesn't add a thing to the cost of the car. That's the beauty of it. s 336 So. State 11 'I /0" ir 'I-u-T u-- -T- /If*1 I l ill
