ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JUI&Y 22, 1928 0 PLAYERS TO PRESENTI "THE VIKINGS" HERE' TOMORRO, TUESDAY ALL SETS WILL BE PAINTED IN LIVING LIGHT BY COLOR ORGAN MOORE TO BE AT ORGAN 'iss Kelly As Hjordis, Henderson As Sig'urd, And Bohnena As Guninar To Play Three Leads In salutation to the centennial of the birth of Henrik Ibsen, the Rock ford Players will present tomorrow xniglI4 and Tuesda~y Ibsen's great he- roic epic, "The Vikings," in Hill and- itorium. Augmenting the performance will be the painting of the sets in living light by means of the Clavilux the famous color organ invented by Mr. Thomas Wilfred, internationally known stage artist. Accompanying the production: will be the second addi- tional feature, Prof. Earl V. Moore, of the School of Music, who will operate the new Frieze Memorial or- gan for musical effects throghout the performance. "The Vikings" has been moved from the rather cramped quai'ters that Sa- rah Caswell Angell hall provided to the more spacious and comfortable Hill auditorium in order that the tri- umvirate of artistry-light, music, and drama-might be utilized to the most adaptable advantage. Three Leads The play itself is Ibsen's famous epic of the north country, originally entitled "The Warriors of Helgeland." Carrying the three powerful leads will be Katherine Wick Kelly, leading lady of the company and formerly of the Cleveland Playhouse, Robert Hender- son, director of the company, and ,Roman Bohnen, leading man of the troupe and late of the Goodman me- morial theater, of Chicago. Miss Kelly will interpret the part of Hjordis the wife of Gunnar, the rich yeoman of Helgeland, who will be played by Bohne.n. Robert Hen- derson will act the role of Sigurd the strong, a viking. These three will bear the brunt of the heaviest char- acterizations and parts. Others of the players who will ap- pear in the cast in more. minor adap- tations will include E. Martin Browne, who will act as Ornulf of the Fjords, an Iceland chieftain; Marvel Garns ey, who will be cast as his wife; Paul Stephenson, who appears as Ornulf's youngest son; and Lillian Bronson, assigned the part of Egil, the four year old son of Gunnar. Difficult Sets It is only with the aid of the Clay- ilux that a proper and justifiable pro- duction of "The Vikings" can be play- ed, for s6 many of the sets call for the picturing of moving objects, such as ships in a storm- action made practically impossible with hand painted sets. With the aid of the Clavilux these sets can be played from the organ in light, painted on the set background by the artist operat- ing the machine. Wilfred, in addition to directing the play, will operate his Clavilux per- sonally from the console of the ap- pa.ratus. He has a thorough know- ledge of the Ibsen mood, having read him in the original Swedith. Professor Moore will aid in the ef- fort to obtain the atmosphere re- quired by accompanying the showing with the Frieze memorial organ. There will be no advance in prices for the performance, it was announced by Thomas Denton, business manager for the compiany. Tickets will be sold at the usual two prices, 75 cents for unreserved, and $1 for reserved. They may be obtained at any of the State street book stores or at the box office. Unlike patst policy, there will be but two performances of "The Vikings."

He will outline the new mathematics program as established by this com- mittee, and will speak to a consider- able extent on recent experiments and discoveries in this department. His lecture will deal principally with the ways in which the high school teach- er may be helped in her teaching of the subject. The series will close Thursday with an address by Prof. W. L. Carr on "The New Program In Latin Teach- ing." Professor Carr has developed this new program in the University : school and will offer suggestions r 'Y! on the changing of programs in other high schools, showing how this can be accomplisdhed and the results[ that may be obtained under the new system. This lecture will be of value to students of Latin as well as to teachers and principals. The lectures this week offer much vauable information to those respon- sible for the direction and supervision of the school systems of the state. Attention is called to the fact that the arrangement of the series this week does not correspond to that published in the bulletin. The chang- es were made necessary by matters beyond the control of those in charge. All the lectures are to begin prompt- ly at 4:05 o'clock.
