THE MICHIGAN DAJILY PAGE THREE I Mc CrCeklt Is Selected To Be JGPDirector Atinual Class Productilon To Be Presented The week Of March 17 Announcement was made yester- day that Rusell McCracken has sign- ed the contract to direct the coming production of the Junior Girls' play, which will be presented the week of March 17. This will be the third J.G.P. that Mr. McCracken has directed in ad- dition to his work with the Chil- dren's Theater, the Union Opera, Sophomore Cabaret, Play- Production, and the Repertory Players. As a de- parture from his usual type of pro- ductions, he directed an old-time drama, "All for Love," for the Nell Gwyn Players this fall. Mr. McCracken was graduated from the University in 1932 and is not so far removed from his college days that he does not get as much fun from the plays he directs as the students in the cast. While an un- dergraduate he worked on scenery for Play Production and Comedy Club and was stage manager for the Repertory Players for three sum- mers. Itn discussing the Junior Girls' Play, Mr. McCracken stated that though it provides a great deal of enjoyment for the large group of Juriior women participating, it also has a definite educational value, be- cause of the many responsibilities for those involved. There is the financial responsibili- ty which rests upon the members of the central committee as well as the responsibility, shared by every wo- man in the cast, to give a good pro- dudtion for the audience. In addition, the technical instruc- tion given the author, the writers of music and lyrics, and the members of the class who plan scenery and costumes is worth many hours of classroom work in similar subjects. Formal Dance Honors Actives Of Pi Beta Phi Pledges of Pi Beta Phi sorority en- tertained last night with a dance hon- oring the active members of the sor- ority.
