COMING ATTRACTION At STALAG 17 M MARCH 17 &18 JuM PRESENTED BY “ SPEEDWAY STUDENT THEATRE

STALAG 17 NEXT STUDENT THEATRE PRODUCTION Speedway theatre-goers will see an almost documentary drama about the harrowing yet often grimly comic way American GI war prisoners lived in a German camp during World War II when Student Theatre presents “Stalag 17,” a comedy melodrama with an all-male cast, at the Speedway High School Auditorium. The tensions generated by close confinement under enemy guards, the prisoners’ hunger for food and women and mail from home, the escape plots betrayed by a German spy are some of the elements in the play, which will be given for two performances beginning March 17. Based mainly on actual experiences undergone by authors Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski in a real Stalag 17 in Krems, Austria, the action concerns a group of captured Gis whose escape plots and similar secrets are being tipped-off to the camp commandant. Because he trades with the enemy guards, one GI is wrongly suspected of being the agent planted among them and is severly beaten by the men as a result. Bitter and vengeful, he seeks out the real German informer and exposes him. The spy is then compelled to face his comrades bullets as a decoy to cover a spectacular escape. The original Broadway production of “Stalag 17,” which ran 59 weeks, left Brooks Atkinson, the N.Y. Times drama critic, “shaking from the excitement of the performance.” One reviewer (Continued on Page 2) Card of Thanks To my friends and neighbors, may I express my thanks for your many cards, calls, and flowers, I received during my recent stay in the hospital.
