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 By JAN RAHM Leonard K. Eaton of the archi- tecture school calls Frank Lloyd Wright "the greatest architect in the Western world since Michel- angelo."

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.

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.

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 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. ,LO P E " * " 8TH ANNUAL TRAVEL PROGRAM sponsored by National Fed. of Catholic College Students National Newman Club Federation TOURS FROM $695 (47 DAYS) ALL INCLUSIVE Limited June/July departures still available For reservations and details, write immediately to CATHOLIC YOUTH TRAVEL OFFICE 1 Thomas Circle, N.W., Washington 5, D.C.
