Benes Expected May 12 WASHINGTON, May L.-034)-The State Dlepartment annouinced" today that President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia is expected to arrive in Washington about May 12 to be a guest of President Roosevelt. Benes will stay in Washington about a week and then will visit New York and Chicago. It will be a trip "down yonder" when the Play Production of the speech department presents "The Wishful Taw," by Elizabeth Wilson, Grad., at 8:30 p.m. May 12-15 at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. "The Wishful Taw" is a new play, written last fall, with original music, depicting the life and customs of the people of the Ozarks. Authentic portraits, ballads and dances of the White River country make it a con- tribution to the phases of this por- tion of American life. Familiar Region to Writer Miss Wilson uses a well-known story of the region and sets it in the rich native background with which she has long been familiar. Miss Wil- son's home is in Springfield, Mo., and she has spent her summers in a cabin some 17 miles from the resort district in the Ozarks. During this time she has gathered material for "The Wishful Taw" and also for a series of nine one-act plays which she is now writing about the Ozarks. Miss Wilson, after writing the play and the music, is now busy coaching the members of the cast in the prop- er dialect, and said, "The cast is really doing a fine job of learning the proper dialect and catching the highly important spirit of the char- acters." Theme Is Campfire Tale "The play is woven around an old campfire story, the type of tale that you would spin around an open fire at night in that friendly country," Miss Wilson said in commenting on her play. The play was written in Prof. K.T. Rowe's class in playwriting. In speaking of the play he said, " 'The Wishful Taw' is of special interest as an experiment in dramatic mode which has grown directly out of the material. Miss Wilson's interest, as I have understood it, was in the bal- ladry and other folk music of the Ozarks as an intimately dramatic part of the lives of the people. "She has created a fresh and orig- inal kind ofs music-drama which in addition to immediate artistic inter- est follows in the direction of the long gradual rise of a national oper- atic music from native folk-themes." Tickets will go on sale at the Lydia Mendelssohn boxoffice May 10 and mail orders may be received now. - I Dual Loveliness (Continued from Page 2) 6. New Business. 7. Announcements.
