BREAKFAST DRAMA?
Posters Bring On 'Pirates' Headache
By PAUL BRENTLINGER
You can no longer believe all
that you read.
Despite what posters may say,
campus musical shows are NOT
going to begin at 8 o'clock in the
morning.

FOLLETT'S
2nd Floor -- State at North U.
POSTERS appeared on campus
yesterday announcing the Gilbert
and Sullivan Society's production
-f "Pirates of Penzance," on Nov.
30 and Dec. 1 and 2.
Curtain time for the perform-
ance was printed as 8 a.m.
Fea tiny that local publicity men
were going completely overboard to
secure distinction for their shows,
The Daily contacted Dick Webber,
'52E, Gilbert-Sullivan publicity
manager.
* *~ *
"THE SHOW will not compete
with local restaurants for the
breakfast trade," Webber declared
emphatically.
He tore another hair from his
graying head and went on to
condemn the printer for an un-
holy error.
"We let the printer design the
Save TIME and MONEY
poster. He did a fine job, but he
really should have printed 8 p.m.
instead of 8 a.m. as the perform-
ance time," according to Webber.

"WHILE IT would undoubtedly
be interesting to experiment with
an early morning performance of a
light opera, we do not feel that the
Gilbert and Sullivan Society is
ready for such a radical step," he
continued.
"For one thing,'our cast would
never stand for it," the har-
assed publicity manager said.
A hasty poll of student opinion
indicated that an 8 a.m. perform-
ance would not be very popular.
TYPICAL comment was some-
thing like "I wouldn't go to a show
that early under ANY circum-
stances."
But Miriam Cady, '50, said "I
would go to an 8 a.m. show if the
proper person were taking me, and
if he were taking me to breakfast
first."
Marian Davis, '52, said that
ordinarily she would not con-
sider going to an 8 a.m. show.
However, she said she "would go
to see "Pirates of Penzance" at
any hour."
* * *
THIS MISPLACED time ele-
was not the only headache con-
fronting Webber, who discovered
that the posters also fail to cite
the price of tickets to the show
and its Ann Arbor place of per-
formance.
"We hope that no one will stray
over to Rackham Amphitheatre,"
he moaned fervently, alluding to
the confusion which might result
from the notice of the performance
to be given Dec. 3 at Rackham Altl-
ditorium in Detroit.
Tickets for the Ann Arbor show,
in Pattengill Auditorium, are $f.20
and $.90. Detroit prices run $1.80
and $1.20.

Brazil; and Horsemen of the
Pampa, a film about Argentina,
