041 — Operetta Guild: Program Listed

First production of the new Jordan Operetta Guild will be chosen from the Gilbert and Sullivan works, “Yeomen of the Guard,” “The Gondoliers” and “The Pirates of Penzance.” The announcement came from Charles Hedley, head of the Jordan Conservatory voice department. Auditions for principals and chorus will joe held at 7:45 p. m. next Monday in Student Hall, 1204 N. Delaware St. The tryouts will be open to any singer, Mr. Hedley said. “The Gilbert and Sullivan works have proved enduringly popular for years,” Mr, Hedley said in explaining his tentative choices for the first production. “Done with proper

musical values, they are among the best vehicles for both performers and audiences.” Mr. Hedley announced on Sept. 20 his intention of forming the operetta guild. It is his contention that the musical theater is due for a “comeback” such as symphonic music as enjoyed in the last several years. The musicals are to be produced on a “profgssional scale” but as yet no announcement has been made as to where they will be presented.

STRANGER TO HIMSELF

Frank Albertson, at the age of 12, played a bit in “The Covered Wagon.” Now, appearing in “Louisiana Purchase” 20 years later, he has asked custodians of the Paramount film vaults to find a print of the silent film, so that he can see what he looked like then.

a “world premiere.” Of course, you

can't really tell about that. There are a lot of colleges in the United States and a lot of them have drama departments. : But anyway, the old Hippodrome Theater in Terre Haute, Ind., will be lighted up again tomorrow after all these many years of darkness and a cast of Indiana State Teachers College students will present «Jim Dandy.” This is one of the newest by that screwball or genius (how do you like yours?) named William Saroyan. Besides being a drama impressionist, Mr. Saroyan is simply a very odd person. Last winter for the Broadway opening of his “The Beau-

tiful People,” he threw open the doors and said everybody got in free, first come first served. Then when business needed a little burr in the side, Mr. Saroyan wired from the Coast that if anybody wasn’t satisfied with the play, they could get their money back at the door. This latter order confused the theater staff no end. You can imagine how those tight-fisted box office treasurers felt when they had to give back about $100 every week. But that was Mr. Saroyan’s wish, and several braZen customers took advantage of it. » 2 8

One Play Free

ONCE IN the giving-away mood, Mr. Saroyan kept right on giving. He offered “Time of Your Life” to the movies if the producer would give the proceeds to national defense, 8till in a philanthropic frame of mind, he later decided to give a new play, the aforementioned “Jim Dandy,” to the National Theater Conference. This is a group of non - professional

tomorrow night, and also Wednesday night. (Curtain time, 8 p. m.) The play comprises two acts, with two scenes each; the setting is a public library, and the cast takes nine. Star of the company will be Ross Ford, who though a sophomore is a veteran of 19 Community Theater and Sycamore Player shows. Mr. Ford will be the “young man with one foot in the grave” and .consequently he will appear with one foot im a miniature casket. Remember, Mr. Saroyan is an impressionist and he stops at nothing, or almost. Quite casually, the Indiaha State people have remarked that the playwright will be unable to attend this “premiere.” To make up for it, the entire proceeding, including audience response, is to be recorded and delivered to Mr. Saroyan’s doorstep. Then in the quiet of his own home, he'll be able to study all that went on.

"Victor, by 16 Days’

BUT ABOUT this “premier” angle. . . . Naturally, there has been quite a run on this free play, because collegiate drama departments, as a rule, don’t have rich “angels.” They have only budgets—and you know how a budget is. It was first reported around here that Indiana University was going to put on the premiere. ” But a check with the I. U. forces revealed that Director Lee Norvelle’s folk won't be doing it until Nov. 11 and 13, 14, 15. That makes them loser to the Indiana State people by more than a month. “But you can’t tell about that ‘premiere’ business,” Publicist Ross Bartley of I. U. was quick to. add. “They'll be doing it all"

\ over the country, you know.” Mr. Bartley, of course, is right. “Jim Dandy” is in production at two other places that we know of, the University of Minnesota and the Dallas (Tex.) Little

Theater. And there may be others. Nonetheless, Dr. Robert W.

Masters, the drama director at Indiana State, refuses to relent. As far as he's concerned, there'll be a “world premiere” in the old Hippodrome tomorrow night. “We seem to have won the race by 16 days,” said Dr. Masters, not pointing out who was going to give it in 16 days. But, of course, you know how this impressionist trend is. Say it and it’s so!
