David Milligan Turns Author to Delve Into ~ Fine Art of Puppetry

Civic Theater Associate's Book Tells How to Build Figures and Sets; Party to Launch Meridian Hills Club Season.

: Some 10 years ago David Milligan began working for the Civic Theater. In the interim he has played a diversity of parts. Included in. his repertoire are “The Camel Through the Needle's Eye,” “Ten Nights in a Bar Room,” “The

Sacred Flame,” “The Man With Red Hair,” “The Im-

{ portance of Being Ernest,” “Both Your Houses,” “If \ This Be Treason,” “The Night of January 16th,” “Excursion” and “First Legion.” ° But his theatrical experience is a small part of the story. In J934 Mr. Milligan was appointed dramatic department head of the Marion County. Recreation Bureau when the bureau was organized. Puppeteering became a part of his activities in the second year of its existence and he was, to use a common expression ‘‘up a tree.” Knowing little or nothing about puppets he turned to textbooks ~—to no avail. Nothing was left but to make an exhaustive research on the subject—which he did! His success in the field is shown in

the fact that within the next few months “Fist Puppetry’ by David.

‘Frederick Milligan is to appear fresh from the presses of one of the

country's leading publishers. Mr. Milligan wants to make it

plain that, contrary to popular

opinion, there is a great difference between ‘puppets’ and ‘mar-

ionettes.”

They should never be confused. Puppets are operated by

the human hand insde the doll’s figure while marionettes are worked

by strings from above the stage.

The obvious advantages (according

to Mr. Milligan) ‘of “fist puppets” will be explained in his book.

And He Teaches How It's Done |

The volume deals chiefly with methods of preparing sets for the figures and the ztages through which one of| the tiny balsam wood figures passes before becoming a human likeness. Mr. Milligan, fired with the possibilities of this delightful me-

dium, decided to start a class at the Civic Theater.

He wanted to

teach the children how te manipulate the puppets and create attrac-

tive backgrounds.

It was thus that the Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning “puppetiy” classes got their start. There are now 35 In the classes. ages ranging from 8 to 15. . Miss

Sara Lauter is the sole adult member in the class. pioneers has made its own puppets,

This group of learned all the posturings and

human characteristics that are necessary, created authentic costumes

and scenes and now 1s anticipating

the grand finale.

Within a short time a momentous event is to take place for Mr.

Milligan and his pupils.

“The Wicked Prince,” a drama full of lore

dear to the hearts of children. is to be presented. The play's cast

will include Kurt Kaufman,

Jeanne Rybolt.

Teddy Beal, Edwin

Cavanaugh, Marilyn Stott. Albert Arnhoiter, Natalie Griener, Blythe Mildner, Florence Mary Foreman and Julia Anne Foreman. The event will be at the Children's Civic Theater at 2:30 p. m.

Saturday, April 30.

Many amusing remarks have enlivened rehearsals.

One small

boy struggling with his maneuvers, declared: "I wonder if God had as much trouble making us as we are having, trying to make these

people.”

When complimented on his imminent authorship, Mr. Milligan remarked that “one book| makes one an ‘author’—perhaps several more will make one a successful author.”

Success Mr. Milligan!
