‘David Milligan Tras Author to Delve Into Fine Art of Puppetry
ivie Theater Associuty’ 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. : Zz 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 ImPportance of Being Ernest,” “Both Your Houses,” -“If ZThis Be Treason,” “The Night of January 16th,” “Excursion” and “First Legion.” = But his theatrical experience is a small part of the story. In 3934 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 dts 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 Zhe 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 ®pinion, there is a great difference between “puppets” and “mar#onettes.” They should never be confused. Puppets are operated by he human hand insde the doll’s figure while marionettes are worked
Dy strings from above the stage. The obvious advantages (according Fo 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 Tigures and the stages through which one of the tiny balsam wood Tigures passes before becoming a human likeness. = Mr. Milligan, fired with the possibilities of this delightful medium, decided to start a class at the Civic Theater. He wanted to Feach the children how to manipulate the puppets and create attractive backgrounds. < It was thus that the Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morn- : ing “puppetry” classes got their start. = There are now 35 In the classes, ages ranging from 8 to 15. Miss Bara Lauter is the sole adult member in the class. This group of Pioneers has made its own puppets, learned all the posturings and Duman characteristics that are necessary, created authentic costumes nd scenes and now is 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 gear to the hearts of children, is to be presented. The play’s cast will include Kurt Kaufman, Jeanne Rybolt, Teddy Beal, Edwin Lavanaugh, Marilyn Stott, Albert Arnholter, 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 ~sboy struggling with his maneuvers, declared: “I wonder if God had Bs ih trouble making us as we are having, trying to make these eople.” : When comp. plimented 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!
