Military Ball:
By BOBBIE HOLT

For years fairy-tale readers have

Her escort said he would pick
her up at 8:30 p.m. sharp. At
8:35 p.m. he walked into her soror
ity house and ialled her on "the
intercom."
Allowing the proper 15-minute
waiting period she floated down
the stairs at 8:50 p.m. Anticipating
a beautiful corsage and a flip
compliment, she looked around for
the donor no date.
Thinking perhaps she had mis-1

What was this game anyway? It
was 9:30 p.m. now and the house
was deserted. Everyone had left

This time she slipped the dainty

started slowly up the stairs. Then
noticing the time she recalled that

at 9:30 p.m.
She hurried down

The story behind the play is
about Army occupation troops sent
to Okinawa to "democratize" the
natives. Ghiesha girls, a teahouse,
natives and army officers all find
places in the story.
The play itself was made into
movies and has been translated in
to nearly every language. It has
won major awards in many of
these countries, including the Don

for the best play of the year, the
Dramatic Critics Circle award and
