DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Wit ford Kane To Help Stage The Contrast' "A master of his craft" is what' New York critics think of Whitford Kane, who will return for his sixth season as guest director to direct "Hobson's Choice," in which he will play.the title role of Hobson.

Comedies, Satires And Musical To M 'ark Summer Play Season J By GLORIA NISHON and BARBARA De FRIES -- Last Times Today - 'Miuch Ado About Nothing' Ann Arbor audiences raised much ado, but not about nothing, with their praises of the Play Production presentation of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" this spring. With memories of the critic and playgoer ringing in their ears, virtual- ly the same cast will present theF popular comedy as the curtain-rais- er of the Summer Repertory Play- ers' Season, from July 1 to 5. 'George Washngton "George Washington Slept Here" by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, one of the hits of the 1940-41 season on Broadway, will be on the stage here from Wednesday, July 9, through Saturday, July 12. The plot of the play revolves around Newton Fuller, who, to the disgust of his wife Annabella, bus an aban- doned farmhouse somewhere in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This amusing play is all told in the' typical Kaufman-Hart wisecr ack manner with a realistic touch. 'The Contrast' " Charles H. Meredith, director of the Dock Street Theatre in Charles- ton, South Carolina, will direct "The Contrast" by Royall S. Tyler, which; will run from July 16 to 19. The style of the play, written before 1800, copies the English drama of the Restoration and Eighteenth Cen- tury, but the theme of the chief source of comedy is in the contrast wirb hulA OARNELB - lIlA hAYWORIN Nazimoyo Anthony Quina " J.

'The Little Foxes' Out of the realms of Broadway hits comes Lillian Hellman's "The Little Foxes," to be given by the Repertory Players from July 23 to 26. Starring Tallulah Bankhead in the 1original production, the play was only recently released for amateur produc- tion. The drama is the one that re- established Miss Bankhead as one of the top ranking actresses of the cur- rent stage. 'Storm Ot'er Patsy' "Storm Over Patsy," an Anglo-Scot- tish comedy by James Bridie, will be presented from Wednesday, July 30, through Saturday, August 2. The "Patsy" of the title is a mongrel dog and the comedy lies in all the' furor and trouble that the dog-tax makes. A reporter's job on a news- paper, two divorces, the imprisonment of several people and the election of a member of Parliament finally hinge upon a lawsuit over the theft of the dog by his rightful owner after he has been impounded for failure to pay the tax. 'Hobson's Choice' Choice of many a modern playgoer is the eternally popular "Hobson's Choice." And so, for the choice of plays to be given August 6 to 9, the Repertory Players have chosen Harold Brig- house's comedy of domestic difficul- ties, "Hobson's Choice." The play deals with the problem of the beloved but bewildered Mr. Hobson in marrying off his daugh- ters. 'The Gondoliers' The Michigan Repertory Players of the Department of Speech will again combine with the School of Music to present "The Gondoliers," a musicall by Gilbert and Sullivan. "The Gondoliers" is probably the gayest of all the Gilbert and Sulli- van operas and also one of the most difficult, as it requires a large number of good principals as well as a large dhorus of performers that can both sing and dance. The talent which has been available the past few summers indicates that this production will be possible this summer. i also have as visiting stage directors Claribel Baird, Whitford Kane and Charles H. Meredith. Mrs. Baird is returning again this year for the fifth time in her teaching and directing capacity. She is a pro- fessor of speech at the Oklahoma College for Women. Whitford Kan, a professional actor formerly associat- ed with the New York Theatre Guild School, will return for his sixth sea- son as guest director while Meredith will come ,for the first three weeks of the season to work on "The Con- trast." The post of Art Director will be filled by Alexander Wyckoff, noted stage designer", who will come from New York for his ninth year here. Robert Mellencamp, who is at present Art Director of the Ann A2'bor Dra- matic Season, will assist him. Evelyn Cohen. Mrs. Wyckoff in private life, will supervise the cos- tuming end of production and Emma Hirsch, Mrs. Mellencamp, will be Assistant Costumiere. All seven plays will be presented in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Tickets, either for the season or for single performances, may be procured now by addressing the Michigan Rep- ertory Players, at the Lydia Mendel- ssohn Theatre. The. box office does not open until June 25, but patrons are urged to buy their tickets as soon as possible because of the in- creasing popularity of these prod~uc- tions. Season tickets may be bought for $3.75, $3.25 and $2.50. Single per- formances are $.75, $.50 and $.35 for the first six plays and $1.00, $.75 and $.50 for the Gilbert and Sullivan opera.

This plan, which was inaugurated last year under the direction of Hugh Norton, will make use of the auditor- iums of the two local high schools in staging plays which do not require the high-pressure work necessary for the productions of the Michigan Rep- ertory Players. A new program will be initiated this summer in the addition of a Second- ary School Theatre with the specific purpose of producing under high school conditions plays which can be used in high school. Nancy Bowman, Director of Dra- matics at Mt. Clemens High School, will be the director of the new the- atre, in addition to teaching a course in High School Play Production which will be integrated with the produc- tions. She will direct two full-length plays, the first of which will be pre- sented on July 21 in the University High School Auditorium. The cast for this play will be chosen from sec- ondary school students in and around Ann Arbor. Using a play suitable for high schools but with a cast of University students, Miss Bowman will present a second play on August 12 as part of the Annual Speech Conference spon- sored by the Department of Speech. menceent xercvise w Yili L hihla'1 nnV The sounding of the University Ferry Field, S turday afternoon, June Power House Siren at 5:00 to 5:10 21.
