Scene Laid In West
The scenes for "Rainbow's End"
are laid in the West. The plot
concerns itself with a young college
man, owner of a "dude" ranch, who
finds a group of traveling players,
one of whom he had known in the
East, stranded near his ranch due
to transportation difficultibs. He
and the leading lady of that com-
pany fall in love, but jealousies
and plots by neighbors of the
ranch, persons in the players'
troupe, and nearby Indians, serve
to create an atmosphere of intense
excitment. The action finally
works out to the complete satisfac-
tion of the audience and the suc-
cessful culmination of several ro-
mances.
Costumes are by "Peter March"
of Detroit, exclusive costumer and
designer. Representatives of that
firm have been in Ann Arbor for
