GREATEST SINCE MICHELANGELO:
U' Instructor Praises Architect Frank Lloyd Wright

Gilbert and Sullivan operettas have often been a source of enter-
tainment for many audiences.
Yet little regard is ever given to the work done behind the final
scenes.
The beginning work for each production of the Gilbert and
Sullivan Society is done in the University libraries. Exact facts about
scenery and costumes have to be learned before casting is started.
Details such as location and size of each prop are worked out in
miniature drawings of the various scenes. Many sets from previous
productions are re-painted to cut down costs.
Stage Crew Assembles Set
Once the cast is chosen and rehearsals have begun, the stage crew
begins assembling the set. Carpentry work is done first.
Collection of props is often a tedious job. For the Society's March
production, "Princess Ida," the props committee had to collect such
odd items as eye glasses for the girls' chorus, swords and daggers for
the whole cast, and several lunch baskets. In a previous production

Oan old-fashioned ear trumpet had
to be located.
Soon after rehearsals begin, the
make-up committee starts their
practice sessions. The committee
supervises each cast member in
putting on his make-up.
Members Paint Sets
Two weeks before final rehear-
sals begin the stage crew has its
annual spatter painting party.
Each member is given a can of
paint, a brush, and a number, and
directed to spatter paint on a par-
ticular part of each background
set.
Final dress rehearsals are begun
on the Sunday before the show. At
7 a.m. the stage crew moves all
sets from the attic of Lane Hall
into Lydia Mendelssohn theatre.
Once the task is finished the crew
celebrates with its annual break-
fast party.
Duringthe week of the show,
dress rehearsals begin at 6 p.m.
and usually last until midnight.
Mid-terms are forgotten as both
cast and crew work intensely at
assembling the show.
Publicity Puts up Signs
Throughout this last week the
publicity committee works double
time. The diag sign has to be put
up, ticket booths must be built, and
the diag stunt has to be presented.
Then, with fingers crossed, the
month's work comes to a climax
with opening night. The operetta
is presented for three days and
culminated with a cast party.
The day following the last show,
the cast helps to strike the set and
load it onto the trucks to be taken
to Wyandotte and then to Detroit
for productions there.
The show is presented during the
week in Wyandotte and on the
following week-end in Detroit at
R1ackham Auditorium.
Production in Detroit often pre-
sents problems due to the fact the
stage is normally a lecture plat-
form with half the stage in front
of the curtain.

stantly discards old ideas and
moves forward.
Prairie Period Phase
Wright has gone through sev-
eral phases during the years,
Eaton said. One of the most fa-
mous, the so-called prairie period,
occured in the early 1900's.
Noted houses of this period are
the Robie house in Chicago and
the Adams house in Oak P,..k, Il-
linois. Both show the interde-
pendence of horizontal and verti-
cal lines and the long, low lines
which characterized the Midwest-
ern prairie.
Another famous building of this
period is Unity Temple, also in
Oak Park. This was the first ma-
jor building in which poured con-
crete was used. This material had
previously been regarded as a cold,
dead material. Wright succeeded
in taking the curse off its use.
Wright's Experiments
In the 1920's Wright continued
his work with poured concrete
and experimented with other
building materials.
Of the houses Wright designed
during the 1930's, the most fa-
mous is the Falling Water house
which features a waterfall cas-
cading from the hill on which the
house is built.

ALMOST DONE-Members of the publicity committee add the
last details to the diagonal sign. The committee begins their job
with the announcement of the mass organization meeting and
works through to publicizing the show. The job entails putting up
posters all over campus, organizing a blackboard campaign, plan-
iing radio and television announcements and working on a diag
stunt. The group also takes care of publicity for the Wyandotte
and Detroit show.

FORGIVE ME-Florian asks mercy of Princess Ida in a final
scene from the Gilbert and Sullivan Society's most recent produc-
tion. The show is the culmination of weeks of work on the part
of both cast and crew. Not only does the acting have to be per-
fect, but the scenery, props and costumes as well.

THE LAST STITCH-Minute details in costuming are often
finished at the last minute. Although all the costumes are made
by a national costuming company, often small defects have to be,
remedied just before show time. The head costumer is usually
seen scurrying about with pins, thread and needles, patching up
small tears in the material.
