GREASE PAINT CALLS:
Play Production Offers
Opportunities to Students

BY GLORIA BENDET
Frustrated actors, actresses, di-
rectors, set designers, et al, whc
nave given up hopes of theatrical
fame, may be unaware that the
have a golden opportunity right
here on campus to combine their
prosaic studies with the thrills o
the stage.
Play Production, operating
within the Department of Speech,
puts on at least six major produc-
tions each year, the majority of
the work being done by students.
The plays are varied, running the
gamut from classical tragedy and
opera to modern comedy and sa-
tire.
Covers All Branches
Play Production is a group of
courses, covering all branches of
the practical theatre arts, includ-
ing acting, direction, stage man-
agement and designing of sets.
Productions are part of the la-
boratory work which supplements
regular classes. They are pre-
pared and rehearsed in the lab
theatre in back of the Union.
Besides the six major produc-
tions, five or six laboratory bills
are done. Those in the latter
class offer almost unlimited ex-
perimental possibilities in all the
facets of theatrical work and are
open to the public without admis-
sion.
Those plays in the major group
are done with an eye towards
box office appeal. In addition to
'U' To Present
Two Showings
of Henry V'
Two performances of "Henry V"
will be presented at 3:15 and 8
p.m., October 15 at Hill Auditor-
ium, for the film's Ann Arbor de-
but, under the sponsorship of the
Office of Student Affairs.
Produced and directed by Laur-
ence Olivier as a morale booster
for England during the war, the
film follows the original Shake-
speare text more closely than any
of the recent stage productions.
Set in medieval France and
England, "Henry V" centers about
the famous Battle of Agincourt,
won by the British against almost
insuperable odds.
Benefits 'U' Project
Proceeds of the showings here,
presented for students, faculty and
townspeople, will go to a Universi-
ty project, possibly another film
presentation.
Matinee prices for the produc-
tion have been set at $1.20 for
main floor and center first bal-
cony seats, and $.90 for the re-
mainder of the house. Tickets for
the evening performance will sell
at $1.80 and $1.20. All seats for
the film are reserved.
Lowest Possible Prices
The technicolor film is being
presented here at the lowest prices
possible at the present time, in
order to make it available to Uni-
versity students.
Stamped self-addressed envel-
opes should be included with or-
ders for the tickets, which may
be sent to Rm. 2, University Hall,
attention Dean Walter B. Rea.
Checks must be made payable to
Student Organizations, University

regular dramatic presentations,
operas are produced from time to
time in. conjunction with the
School of Music. Last year Mo-
zart's "Marriage of Figaro" was
presented.
Successful Plays
Other successful plays of last
season were Maxwell Anderson's
Both Your Houses", George Ber-
nard Shaw's "Saint Joan", and
during the summer season, "Can-
dida", another of Shaw's works.
The productions attempt to
combine education with entertain-
ment. Any student with the mini-
mum prerequisites in speech may
participate in Play Production by
enrolling in the proper courses.
Although Play Production's
main purpose is to train people
for educational jobs, rather than
for legitimate stage careers, sever-
al current stars, among them Ruth
Hussey and Martha Scott, were at
one time students at the Univer-
sity, and received some of their
experience in Play Production.

By The Associated Press

Alabama Negro leaders today pro-
posed action to combat restric-

suits for admission of Negroes to
State College, and to end "racial
discrimination" in public trans-

The proposals were made at the

The meeting was called primar-

Jackson said the battle for
Negro registration would be the
"most sweeping campaign ever
undertaken."

America Should Not Bar
Russian Visitors--Roberts

AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
Can the United States, which
already has stooped to word-
brawling in a gutter of Russia's
own choosing, improve the situa-
tion any by also emulating the
Kremlin's antagonistic policy
toward foreign visitors?
Russia's refusal to admit a
senatorial party has resulted in
demands that the Washington
government retaliate by imposing
restrictions on Russians, over and
above the normal regulation of
entry by avowed Communists. The
army already is restricting Soviet
Union Smoker
Will Feature
Pollock Talk
Prof. James K. Pollock, chair-
man of the political science de-
partment, will be the featured
speaker at Sigma Rho Tau's All-
Engineering Smoker to be held at
7:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Union.
Speaking on "The Big Power
Stalemate in Germany," Prof. Pol-
lock will present his personal ob-
servations of today's European sit-I
uation, as gathered from his re-
cent work as political adviser in
the American occupation zone of
Germany.
Prof. Pollock is now serving in
Washington as a member of theI
twelve-man Committee for Reor-
ganization of the Executive1
Branch.
Also on the program for the!
Smoker, which is open to all en-
gineers, architects and technolo-
gists on campus, is Dean Ivani
C. Crawford of the engineering
college. A war-time member of
the Ordnance Department's Ci-
vilian Advisory Council, Dean
Crawford will review the func-
tion of engineers in military gov-
ernment.
Master of ceremones for the
event will be John M. Holt, '48E,
vice president of Sigma Rho Tau.

military attaches to the same
treatment accorded our men in
Moscow.
Kremlin Agent
There are solid arguments in fa-
vor of action against civilians,
aside from the hysteria generated
by Russia's current all-out propa-
ganda against the United States
and its policies. Every Russian
who comes to this country does so
as the agent, in one respect or
another, of the Kremlin. Other-
wise he would not be permitted to
leave his own country, which is
very strict in preventing its na-
tionals from viewing the wonders
of the outside world except in
cases of real governmental neces-
sity.
And you can rest assured that
every so-called legitimate Rus-
sian activity in this country has
its illegitimate counterpart. That
is one of the fixed practices of the
Communist revolutionary. There
are usually undercover men in
New York who wielda strange
power 'even over the Kremlin's
formally designated emissaries.
One of them, for instance, once
cut a Soviet ambassador off short
in the midst of an interview and
took it upon himself to tell re-
porters what the high official
really was intending to say.
Not Too Difficult
But these things are well known
to our security agencies, and they
think they keep sufficient tab to
prevent any real breach of the
country's safety. Since no Rus-
sian would be allowed to come un-
less the Kremlin expected to profit
from it, keeping them within se-
curity limits is not too difficult.
Beyond that, the more they see
the better. More than one of
them has been converted and re-
fused to return to Russia, becom-
ing instead powerful adjuncts to
the campaign against Commun-
ism here.
The necessities of our struggle
with Russia may one day force
such action in self defense. But
pending a time of such necessity,
it would bring an easy feeling to
many people that there is in it a
violation of civil rights which are
in some ways akin to our own.
