MAY 18. 1955 REVULSION AGAINST TODAY'S PLAYS: Dignity of 'Queens' Led Helen Hayes to AA Production I .1 CAMPUS CALENDAR DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN I ' 1 By HARRY STRAUSS "Sudden revulsion" against the plays now on the New York stage, Helen Hayes says was the reason for her coming to Ann Arbor in "Gentlemen, the Queens." The realism and portrayals of spiritual illness now prevalent in the hit Broadway shows "are pretty depressing, you know," she empha- sized, adding that she will not take' her present production to Broad- way. "I won't buck the trend with the 'Queens' " she explained with a grin. Queens Has Benefit Origin Miss Hayes, a very petite blonde with a marked sense of humor, gave her reasons for having chos- en to play the assorted monarchs. She had been asked to give a bene- fit for her son's school in New Hope, Pa., and someone suggested an evening of Queens. "I think the woman thought I would come on stage in evening gown and book and read about Queens. But I can't do readings. I must have performances, actors, production. It must have been a shock for that woman!" The stage star commented that for Victoria, "for doing her job so well. The final scene from House- man's play (performed in the Dra- ma Season production) always moves me a lot." Of Queens and Height Mary, Queen of Scotland, Miss Hayes continued, was very tall, about six feet, and "this frighten- ed me as I'm the shortest actress in the theatre." We are still "Queen-crazy as long as fairy tales are told children Prof. Nidomorulu Srinivasan, of Andhra University in Waltair, In- dia, will speak on "The Foreign Policy of India" at 4:15 p.m. today in Rackham Amphitheater.

"I've tried to pluck the best from the drama Queens." She remarked that before first doing "Victoria Regina" she had spent much time in research. She expressed a personal admiration Michigan Week Continues With Education Day Theme .. . and actors Today, the fourth day of the second annual Michigan Week, is Education Day. It will be marked by open hous- es in schools and colleges through- out the state and, in Lansing, the convening of the Michigan "White House Conference" on education. Dr. Grover Dillman, general chairman of the observance, said, "In the school-college activities of Michigan Week, we want the peo- ple of Michigan to spend time and effort getting acquainted with their schools-getting really ac- quainted." Unite Parents, Public, Educators "We want Michigan Week to help bring parents, public and edu- cators close together," he contin- ued. "We hope that Michigan Week will develop such interest and momentum that year-around study of our state and its resources will become a larger part of our educational program." The theme for this year's week Is "I'm Glad I Live in Michigan." Musical Council To Gather Here Seventy-five directors and stu- dent officers of college and uni- versity men's glee clubs will gather here tomorrow through Saturday for the Intercollegiate Musical Council meeting. Finances, rehearsal and musical arrangement problems, and alum- ni and public relations will be dis- cussed. Observances began Sunday with Spiritual Foundations Day, "a day devoted by the people of all faiths to the spiritual values of life inl Michigan and to a study of the Mi- chigan foundations of their faith." An exchange of mayors took place Monday in 330 communities throughout the state. Asset of Friendliness Yesterday was designated Michi- gan Hospitality Day to emphasize "one of the state's greatest assets, the natural friendliness of Michi- gan people and the part it plays in the state's huge tourist indus- try." Michigan's tourist industry is one of the four principal sources of income to the state. More than $5,000,000 is spent in the state each year by vacationists. Michigan Week is sponsored by Greater Michigan, Inc., in cooper- ation with the Michigan Depart- ment of Economic Development and other state agencies, It is termed a time during which the citizens of the state "reflect upon the industrial, cultural and natural resources of their state, and examine thoughtfully the things that make it a good place in which to live and work." Members Named New members of the Engineer- ing Council were announced by Bob Ilgenfritz, '56E, yesterday. They are George Alexander, '56E, Tom Chamberlain, '57E, Roy Lave, '57E and Charles Wood, '56E. as they grow up. They will always have a special affection for Queens," the actress added. Following her summer perform- ance in Parim in Wilder's "The Skin of our Teeth" with Mary Martin and George Abbott (com- ing out of a 22-year stage retire- ment ) she plans to appear in a new play written by her husband, Charles MacArthur and Anita Loos. Miss Loos authored one of her hits, "Happy Birthday." Another Queen of Sorts The play is tentatively titled "Glory Be!" based on Bemelman's latest work "To the One I Love Best" which is about Lady Mendl. "She was the most queenly of wo- men come to think of it," Miss Hayes laughingly said. "Personally, I'd like to stay away from the New York stage if it weren't forNmy husband's play. I want to wait until this present play mode is over and then I'll come back." "Plays are no longer about peo- ple larger than life like the people in our scenes. I like people larger than life in my theater," she said, her head nodding in agreement. Of Acting Schools and Methods She expressed agreement with Eva Le Gallienne's remarks con- cerning the little need for any schools of acting. "I'm tired of 'method' acting, it's imitative and limiting. Everyone is imitating either Marlon Brando or Julie Harris," and thrashing her aims about and mumbling her words, a la Brando, she emphasiz- ed her resentment. "Our generation is going mad with this sort of thing." 77= xI . GIVE HIM (or HER) M a I OR DRAWING.

These products are highly radioactive, but they must be recovered because of their great value to the atomic energy program. This is the job of 31-year-old H. Ward Alter, Supervisor of the Separations Chem- istry Unit at the AEC's Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, which General Electric operates in Schenectady, N Y. Alter's Work Is Vital, Important Alter is doing his job well. He has already received the Coffin Award, General Electric's highest honor, for developing an apparatus that makes possible faster, safer, and more efficient recovery of the valuable elements in the "ash." The work done by Alter and his group helps lower costs, increase efficiency and ex- pand our knowledge of the chemical process- ing of spent radioactive fuels, 25,000 College Graduates at General Electric When Alter came to General Electric in 1948, he already knew the work he wanted to dn.
