University Theater: Performance Of Him By DICK SHUGRUE King Lear opened Tuesday night at the University Theater and sur prised the audience who had prob ably expected a hashed out ver sion of the Shakespearean classic. Sidney Kaplan, playing the rile of the British king did the theat!eH an honor by taking on the tremen dous part. Sidney Kaplan, playing the role of the British king did the theater an honor by taking on the trejnen do'us part. , Although Mr. Kaplan's diction- as well trained as it was seemed to get in the way of some of the lines, he handled the part of the king with all the charm and vigor which could have been expected. His two lder daughters, played by Jacquelyn Miller and Bonna Tebo, were excerpts from the Con derella fairy tale, though, end un less they were told to look like puppets by the director, they mis sed the riles. However, the over all effect which, they protrayed was decent. The roles lacked person ality; a certain amount of charac ter was present. f- The third daughter, played by Phyllis Chard, was better, I feel, and probably had the type role more easily played by a college drama student. - Two of the best performances oi 1 Vv i Nebraikaa Photo March 29 and 30. "The West In Modern," the theme of this year's Orchesis Concert, will be presented In the Howell Theater and will feature dance impres sions, with 25 girls participating. odern' lives and customs of the Old West The program will begin with an impression of a peaceful Indian village, Involving two brothers and a fire ritual. Entilted "Indian Noa turn," the dance will be performed by Jan Dworak, Jackie Koepplin, Sandra Niehus, Karen Parsons, Sally Wegert annd Cindy Zschau. The entire group will join in the next two productions, "Blizzard of '75 and "Westward Ho the Peoples". The action will depict such scenes as "Scouting Ahead", "Prairie Schooners", "Free Range and Barbed Wire" and "Forty- Niners". ' ' . The pre-Orchesis group will pra sent "Spoon River". The entire cast, including the pre-Orchesis, will combine again in "Harvest Time". "Housewarming" is the title of the next dance, which will include Elaine Eggen, Joan Haas, Bar bara Hyland, Barb Jelgerhuis, Mary Mong, Edythe Morrow and Sally Wengert. Next on the program will be "Dangerous Sam McGraw", a parody on the two poems. It will be danced by Ruth Blank,' Kay Nielsbn, Kay Deppen, , Sharon Quinn, Sue Woolard, Joan Haas, Edythe Morrow, Sharon Meihus and Elaine Eggen. "Bed Bugs" and "Alleluia" will follow. The finale of the program, per formed by the entire cast, will be entitled "A Western Ballad". The choreography was composed by Mary Mong. The dance is divided into three parts, a contest of skills, a young girl's choice and perform ance and tragedy. Jerry Ramsdale, Roy Willy and Noel Scheonrock will join the girls in the all-cast dances.

Schropfer had an opportunity to read some of the best lines of the play and injected some of th comic element of the three-and-a- quarter hour long drama. . One of the good lines Schropfer and Kaplan got across .(and, of course, the Theater had nothing to do with the wit of the book) was, "Doest thou call me a fool, boy?" the king says. "AH "other titles have been given away," says the clown. . . Skip Weatherford played t h e part of the Earl of Gloucester most admirably. His makeup and costuming as the makeup and costuming of the entire produc tioncertainly added to his char acterization. And yet his handling of the difficult lines was excep- i tional The crowd scenes were handled with as much dexterity as .pos sible. The dueling coached by a fine fencing instructor was as ef fective as possible in close quar ters. More time should be spent on Mr. Kaplan's portrayal of Lear. I feel that he had the charm of the old man and at the end of the The motion to allow Spring Day one full day on the University calendar was passed by the Facul ty Senate by a vote of 52 to 50 at their meeting which was held Tuesday.

The girls modeling will include Lynette Richard, Evenne Eins phar, Mary Fish, Polly Downs and Marilyn Heck. Lear 'Surprises production the insnity which went along. The effect of one of the most well known scenes of the play that where Lear rants to the winds and rain was hampered by the mechanical amplification. L e r gve "tremendous shout" in the first act which, if used in the second-act scene, would have been very sufficient. Th recurrent patterns of light and the intensity of the storm sounds detracted from the entire scene, I believe. The lighting was handled with ease. And that's a real task in a play with 18 different scenes, most of which are staged through light changes. There were a few boners in the light department, but that can be expected in any play on any stage. The crowds and the minor roles were, as I stated before, done well. some oi me piayers wno aouDiea Tickets On Sale ; The box office of the Howell Memorial Theater will be open every day this week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to accept-reservations for the next University Theater producilon, King Lear: The Theater Is located in the Temple Building. floor of the Senate that Dick Hage meler be allowed to speak to the Senate on the topic, Spring Day. In his talk before the Senate, Hagemeier presented the plans for Spring Day on May 3 formulated by the Spring Day Committee. The plans included the combining of the Farmer's Fair, the Union Birthday Party and last year'f half-day Spring Day Into one full dy celebration. "The purpose of the Spring Day is to unite the Ag.and City Cam puses and to unite Greeks and Independents," said Hagemeier. Hagemeier then announced the schedule of events for Spring Day. The schedule is: 8:00 a big parade which will be a mass migration to the Ag Campus where the events will take place; 9:00 to 12:00 Spring Day Events such as tug-of-war; 12:00 to 1:30 a barbecue; 1:30 Rodeo; 4:30 on, a carnival, and at 8:30 a street dance. The next day. May 4. Is Ivv Day and the celebration is sched uled to continue with the . tradi tional Ivy day events. "The express purpose of Spring Day, besides affording an oppor tunity for the students and faculty to have a good time, is to provide a means for nominally separated groups to become acquainted and bring about university," stated Hagemeier. Last year's Spring Day was a half-day event which combined with the Union's Birthday party. The celebration was held In and around the Union. A carnival and street dance were held Friday night after events in the afternoon. "This year's Spring Day, which will be held at the Ag Campus, is designed to be on a much larger scale than last year's event," said Hagemeier. "The addition of the Farmer's Fair has added the events of a rodeo and barbecue and has given us enough events to fill a full day's schedule," he further stated. The subject of allowing students to vote on Senate Faculty Commit tees was not on the agenda of the Faculty Senate. Further business consisted of re ports by the University Studies Committee and the Committee on Student Council. Also the awardins of Honorary Degrees was dis cussed. Mortar Board: oreign enf The annual Motar oBard For eign Student Tour will last three days this year instead of the usual two, according to Bev. Deepe, chairman. The reason for the extra day, according to Linda Buthman, pub licity chairman, is the increased interest of foreign students in the available for it. Scheduled for April 15, 16 and 17, the tour will attempt to give University foreign students a rep resentative view of Nebraska. On Monday the students will visit Boys Town, Joslyn Memorial Art Center, the Omaha Stockyards and will spend the night in Grand Island. On Tuesday, they will see the Lexington alfalfa mills, the irri gation center and visit a cattle ranch. Then the tour will continue to Curtis, where the sutdents will visit the high school and attend a square dance in the evening. On Wednesday the tour will leave for Holdrege where they will visit the Trj-County Irrigation Project. From there the students will go to Hastings to see the col lege, the bakery and the House of Yesterday. Last year 39 students attended the tour. Audience on roles were obvious doubles, but I don't think a person who attends the drama should be looking for the little faults with such a drama as King Lear. Kudos go to Dr. Dallas Williams who handled the dramatic aspects of the production. He had told me about a week ago that he was un sure of the reception Lear would receive. I think that every person in the University and out! who has an interest in the Bard should see the play and the job the Williams-Kaplan duo has done. One other point might be men tioned and that was the playing of Bob Wells as Edmund. Wells had the difficult job og being the "tie up" man J don't know what else he could ba called.) He appeared, as it were, between the major ac tion spots in the play and "plotted" for the audience. In his first Uni versity Theater show, he did him self proud. From all spects, the production of Lear was worth the long time it took to produce. I feel that the job of cutting the play which in itself was a tricky task was handled sure.y and accurately by Dr. Wil iams. This week I hope other members o ftlie University community will be able to enjoy Lear which will run through Saturday evening, ''-Tv7f.,'wr4r,'-i-i: t
