TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE _ CHEER AP, KEPTIN: Speech Group To Give Shaw's 'Pygmalion' 'They Just Melt Away' By FRAN SHELDON "Ow, eez ye-ooa san, is e? Wal, fewd dan y' de-ooty bawmz a mather should, eed no bettern to spawl a pore gel's flahrzen than run awy athat pyin. Will ye-oo py me F'them?" Liza shouted. In George Bernard Shaw's pop- ular comedy, "Pygmalion," the cockney gutter snipe who spouts the- almost unintelligible English is turned into a most polished "dutchess" in six months. FOURTH on the speech depart- ment's summer play-bill the social satire, will open tomorrow in Ly- dia Mendelssohn Theater. Based on the Greek myth con- cerning the sculptor who fell in . love with the statute he created, this Shavian Cinderella story has a far more modern slant than its predecessor. $33,000 Grant Awarded to 'U' Medical School The medical school was award- ed $33,000 by the National Fund for Medical Education, it was an- nounced yesterday. Funds are made possible by contributions from corporations through the Committee of Amer- ican Industry and from the medi- cal profession through the Amer- ican Medical Education Founda- tion set up by the American Med- ical Association. MICHIGAN'S OTHER medical school, the Wayne University Col- lege of Medicine also received $33,- 000. Seventy-three four-year med- ical schools and six two-year basic medical sciences schools have re- ceived grants from the fund this year. Walker L. Cisler, president of Detroit Edison Co. and chairman of the fund's Detroit Committee of American Industry, announc- ed the awards. He said, while grants are unrestricted,. the money is used primarily to re- tain valuable personnel, fill teaching vacancies, create new faculty posts and initiate teacl- ing experiments. Dr. Albert C. Furstenburg, dean of the medical school, said medi- cal schools are having a hard time of it. He explained the State Leg- islature had been "understanding and sympathetic." A phoenetics professor, played by Nafe Kater, Grad. determines to take Eliza, played by Gwen Arner, '54, into his home for a short time in order to teach her the social graces under constant professional supervision. THE FLOWER GIRL, lulled by promises of unareamed of gran- deur makes a superhuman effort to learn quickly and become a true "lady." Under the nearly inhuman coaching of the professor, Eliza grows in elegance and refinement until she finally is presented to English society. After his great triumph, the complete metamorphisis of the cockney street urchin into a cul- tured "duchess," the professor loses interest in the whole project, leaving the problem of Eliza's fu- ture squarely up to the girl and Colonel Pickering, played by Dale Stevenson, '54. It is not until too late that he finds he is really in love with the girl. DIRECTED by Prof. William P. Halstead of the speech department, the play will run through Satur- day. All performances will begin at 8 p.m. and late comers will not be seated until after the first scene. Tickets are available for all four performances at the Mendelssohn boxoffice. They are priced at $1.20, 90 cents and 60 cents. x Bloomier Cites Therapist Need Statistics reveal the demand for speech and hearing therapists far exceeds the present supply, accord- ing to Prof. Harlan Bloomer, of the speech department, director of the speech clinic. The University was able to fill only a small portion of the 236 job openings in this field. "Most of the arising largely from public school employment opportunities are for speech correctionists, the de- mand arising largely from public schools," said Prof. Bloomer. Prof. Bloomer cited state sup- ported speech correction programs inaugurated in various localities within recent years, whereby funds from the state treasury pay all or part of the salary of public school speech correctionists. RAINED OUT--Rain-spattered army officers stand at attention as wind whips their drenched uniforms during what was scheduled to be a mass retirement ceremony for 60 colonels and five generals. Only 15 - two generals and 13 colonels -- appeared for their final review in the near 90 degree heat at Washington's Fort McNair. A surprise thunderstorm added to their dampened discomfort. ONE DIMENSIONAL?-Rita Stazi, Miss Italy in the recent Miss ,Universe contest had a few feline remarks for Christiane Martel (left) of France, the winner: "Why, she has no legs . .. I mean she has no ankles-her legs are one dimensional." But Myrna Hansen (right) of Chicago, Miss U.S.A. who finished second, said she thought Miss Stazi ought to show a "little more sports-. manship."
