Theatre Notes


By ROBERT JUNKER
Theatre in the coming weeks in
Ann Arabor is necessarily hampered
by the University Christmas recess.
As a pre-Christmas treat, how-
ever, the music school and speech
department will present the comic
opera, "Gianni Schlechi," by Puc-
cini. Performances will be given at
4:15' p.m. Wednesday and Thurs-
day in the Lydia Mendelssoh'n
Theatre. They will be open to the
public without charge.
On the same bill will be three
instrumental ensembles fr m "Sac-
rae Symphoniae 1597" by Giovanni
Gabrieli.
Detroit Theatre
"Gianni Schicchi" is taken from
a short episode in Dante's "Divine
Comedy." Gianni is confined to the
inferno as 'a punishment for hav-
ing fraudently dictated the will of
the wealthy Buoso Donati. Jack
Zei, Grad., will appear in the title
role.
Meanwhile in Detroit, "No Time
for Sergeants" will close next Sun-
day at the Schubert Theatre,;to be
followed by Eugene O'Neill's Pul-
itzer Prize-winning play, "Long
Day's Journey into Night," for a
two-week run beginning Dec. 23.
Fay Bainter and Anew McMas-
ter, well-known Irish actor, will
star in this somber, autobiographi-
cal melodrama that drew raves
from Broadway's toughest critics,
including the New York Times'
Brooks Atkinson.
Atkinson also raved about Frank
Loesser's "The Most gappy Fella,"
which opens the same day at the
Riveria Theatre, calling it "almost
operatic." The production, starring
Robert Weede and the original
Broadway cast, will run for three
weeks.

"The Most Happy Fella" is a
middle-aged Italian immigrant
who falls in love with a young girl,
and sends her a picture of a young
man in their correspondence love
affair. The problems which arise-
from this deception provide the
enjoyable story.
Fitzgerald Satire
The World Stage, a drama
group, will appear in F.- Scott
Fitzgerald's "The Vegetable" Sat-
urday and Sunday at the Detroit
Institute of Art's new auditorium.
The play is a comic satire of the
1920's telling of a railroad clerk's
imaginary rise to President of the
United States. The curtain will rise
at 8:40.
The Ann Arbor Civic Theatre
will give its first offering in two
and one-half months when it pre-
sents Frank Loesser's "Guys and
Dolls" Jan. 16 to 18. Ted Heusel
will direct this year's much in-
active group in the production.
Shakespearean Festivel
Stratford's sixth annual Shakes-
pearean Festival has been sched-
uled for June 23 through Sept. 13.
The plays presented next season
will be "Henry IV" part one,
"Much Ado About Nothing" and

Monde, a well-known company of
French-speaking Canadian actors
from Montreal. They will appear
Aug. 18 to 30 in 'Moliere's "Le
Malade Imaginaire."
