PAGE ..8 THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1953 TOP ACTORS FEATURED: Drama Season To Open Tomorrow The "first lady of the theater," Katharine Cornell, and other out- standing Broadway artists, among them Miriam Hopkins, Edward Everett Horton and Ruth Chatterton, will appear in top plays during this year's Drama Season. At 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, Miss Cornell will lead off the quintet of productions scheduled for the next five weeks of the season with Somerset Maugham's "The Constant Wife." * * * * SUPPORTING, MISS CORNELL in the play, a protest against the double standard of marriage, are John Emery as her old flame and Robert Flemyng as her husband. Miss Cornell plays the part of Con- stance Middleton who gives her philandering doctor-husband a dose of his own medicine when she decides to pay him back by reviving * * * * ** * Stage Life Began Early For Cornell Life in the theater comes as sec- ond nature to Katharine Cornell who has acted most of her life. She was born into a theatrical family and as a child wrote and acted in plays. From amateur per- formances, Miss Cornell went on to professional productions. * * * SHE DID HER first professional acting in the Washington Square Players where she met Guthrie McClintic whom she later married. Miss Cornell appeared in her first starring role in "The Green Hat" * * * >a romance with an old flame. A world's premiere will high- light the second week of the drama season with "In the Sum- mer House," starring Miriam Hopkins and written by Jane Bowles. Reminiscent of "The Glass Me- nagerie" and "The Member of the Wedding," the play is a study of family relationships. The dramatic element and humor are combined to make it, according to Tennessee Williams, "the most original play I've ever read but I think it is also the oddest and funniest and one of the most touching." Also featured will be Mildred Dunnock and Tamara Daykarha- nova. "In the Summer House" will run during the week of May 19 through 23. Major critics from New York and Chicago are expected to be on hand for opening night. ' * * * RUTH CHATTERTON stars in the third play of the season, John van Druten's "Old Acquaintance." This comedy first was presented with Miss Chatterton on TV two seasons ago. "Old Acquaintance" is the story of two friends, both novel- ists, and their relationship with a young man-about-town. Some of the results are hilarious and certainly make for an enjoyable time in the theater. The play will be presented from May 26-30, and has a supporting cast including Lois Wilson and John Baragrey. During exam week, June 1-6, the fourth production of the Drama Season, "Nina," will be presented. Starring in this comedy on mar- riage and morals will be that per- ennial comedy favorite Edward Ev- erett Horton. SUPPORTING Mr. Horton as Nina's husband in the three-char- acter piece will be Marta Linden as Nina and Gordan Mills as her lover. The fifth and final presenta- tion will be "The Hasty Heart" starring John Dall of Hollywood fame and Margaret Phillips of Broadway. The play is deeply moving in parts but is mainly a comedy. The lead part of the proud Scot is played by John Dall. The nurse who causes the Scot's "hasty heart" is acted by Margaret Phil- lips who a few seasons ago toured with "The Heiress." R hapsody Thet final showing of the SL Cinema Guild presentation of "Rhapsody in Blue" will be held at 8 p.m. today in the Ar- chitecture Auditorium. Featuring 24 compositions of the late George Gershwin, the film stars Robert Alda, Alexis Smith, Oscar Levant and Joan Leslie. Non-Flying AROTC Cut Responding to the need for more flight training applicants, the Headquarters of the Air Force ROTC has announced that it is tightening up restrictions for entrance into non-flying special- ties. The new policy will initially af- fect the 809 freshmen and sopho- mores enrolled in Air Force ROTC and planning to qualify for ad- vance contracts. As to the essential changes of the plan, Col. William L. Todd, in charge of the Air Force ROTC at the University, declared that "emphasis will be placed on those cadets who agree to enter the Air Force's flying training program upon graduation." However, he emphasized that "no outstandingly qualified stu- dent will fail to be selected for an advance contract." TUN Approach' Talk Slated Prof. Robert C. Angell of the sociology department will discuss "The UNESCO Approach To In- ternational Problem Solving" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Auditorium C, Angell Hall.

Wage Dispute Halts Detroit Construction EDWARD EVERETT HORTON IN A SCENEVROM "NINA" 'U' Students Letters Bring AttemptTo Revoke His visa ROUGH RIDERS-Here's the impression received by George Fomin, '56E, a bystander, of the rough and perilous course on which the Greek Week bike race was held yesterday. The five district fraternity teams, suffering broken spokes, bike break- downs, loose chains, bent fenders, and bruised knees, used 11 bikes in the arduous race. Winner of the contest, minus a few spokes, bike gears and a handle grip, was district five, composed of Phi Gamma Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Nu, Delta Chi, Chi Phi, Trigon, Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Sigma Phi fraternities. College Roundup On the nation's campuses this week: A "mysterious disease" caused by exhaustion is plaguing hard- working students at Purdue University. The symptoms of the disease, mononucleosis, are fatigue, fever, aching, sore throat and a swelling of the lymphoid tissues in back of the neck and throat. According to a Purdue health service physician, the disease is caused by a virus and is prevalent among college age students. * * * * The president of the Inter-Fraternity Council at the Univer- sity of Chicago panned the Michigan or Acacia Plan which, at the U of C, states that no campus organization may have -discrimi- natory clauses in its constitution. The IFC head said he was opposed to the plan because it is in essence a loyalty oath and he is not in favor of any loyalty oaths. He added that the issue in the negotiations over the Michigan Plan is not discrimination but one of the power of the University's Student Government. a R By the Associated Press All residential building in the Detroit area was at a standstill yesterday as the result of a com- plicated wage dispute between AFL Building Workers and Con- tractors. Meanwhile, AFL construction employes in Grand Rapids voted to accept a nw pay offer submit- ted by contractors, and union members in three other western Michigan cities-Kalamazoo, Ben- ton Harbor and Muskegon-were taking ballots on the question. THE AMOUNT of the offer was not disclosed. AFL spokesmen called the De- troit stoppage a lockout. "The action is definitely a lockout," declared L. M. Weir, Secretary of the Union's Car- penter's Council. "But we are not surprised or disturbed." Action leading to today's shut- down of residential construction work began more than a week ago. Contracts of the AFL Building Trades Workers with three Build- ers' Associations expired May 1. Instead of calling a general strike, the union locals started signing with individual contractors for a wage increase of 12 cents an hour and five cents hourly in fringe benefits. Hospital To Hold Open House Today The University Hospital will ini- tiate National Hospital Week with an open house today. The main hospital will be open to the general public from 1 to 4 p.m. and the Maternity Hospital from 3 to 4 p.m. I NI I. J. Letters written by a University student to five newspapers con- demning "British brutality in Kenya" and Malan's South Afri- can policies recently drew a sharp reaction from a fellow South Af- rican student at the University of Illinois. In reply to charges by Lutch- mana' Naidoo, '53, Rhoda Barry, a student at the University of Illi- nois, sent a letter to the South African Minister of Internal Af- fairs in Pietorid. * * * SHE QUESTIONED the need of granting a passport to an Indian "whose material interests lie in South Africa, but whose spiritual interests lie in another country." Naidoo's family is of Indian des- cent, but has lived in Africa for three generations. To answer Miss Barry's at- tack, Prof. Dean C. Baker and Prof. Wesley H. Maurer of the journalism department will dis- patch a request to the South Af- rican Minister recommending that Naidoo be allowed to com- plete his studies this June for a degree, Naidoo's visa expires June 30, and cannot be extended, so that, according to Prof. Baker, there is still a possibility of dropping his visa before its expiration. "It is regrettable that this sort of self-appointed spying by one student on another should be con- ducted," he said. No official action has yet been taken by the University.
