Nude Peter Pans dance at university

Cadou’s Column

By United Press International “The exposed body is no shock to young people.” Speaking is Theodore Hoffman, professor of theater at New York University. He should know—at least about drama students. Hoffman once told a class: “Acting involves being uninhibited. It would help if students in acting classes were naked.” At the University of Wisconsin recently, a group of drama students staged a version of Peter Pan in which six coeds— portraying innocence — danced nude. Dist. Atty. James Boll was given a command performance, and ruled the production obscene. The night Boll reviewed the play, four of the coeds dropped out because of possible prosectuion. “Today's community standards do not permit girls to dance nude before an audience,” Boll said. “To permit such conduct at the university would open the door to nude dancers throughout the community.” Show Goes On Tuesday night, despite the possible prosecution, Peter Pan went on for two more packed audiences of 500 persons. “No one has the right to censor a work of art except the audience,” said the play's producer, drama senior Stuart Gordon of Chicago. There were no arrests. How far out are university theater groups going in their productions— not only in nudity? A United Press International survey shows undressed actors are only one facet of new means of expressing what “traditional” theater got across with mere words. At Brandeis University this summer, the off-off-Broadway Cafe La Mama Troupe of Tom O'Horgan (producer of the onBroadway show “Hair”—in which nude actors confront the audience) presented “Massachusetts Tryst.” In Tryst, a man and a woman faced the audience, stripped down to body stockings on which were affixed the organs of the opposite sex— and then took off the body stockings. Local critics panned the play and Walter Kerr was perplexed in the New York Times, but local authorities took no action. Paradise in Jail At Yale on Sept. 27, police

arrested 10 persons for indecent exposure and other charges after a nonstudent production of “Paradise Now” before 600 persons. During the play, the cast— members of the “Living Theatre Acting Company of Europe”—stripped to bras, panties, bikinis and loin cloths. The show’s last scene saw “an anarchist” stand up on the stage and shout, “The streets belong to the people.” The actors walked piggy-back out of the theater—followed by 300 of the audience. “The Beard”—a Michael MeClure play larded with obscene words and culminating in the simulation of an unnatural sex

act between the male and female leads— was presented Nov. 8-9, 1967, at California State College in Fullerton, by a class in directing. A furor followed in newspapers, the state legislature and among academicians. What is the purpose of nudity on the stage, among supposedly sophisticated people such as actors? Says NYU’s Hoffman. “If they (student actors) undress in public they are attempting to shock the public with something they (themselves) totally accept. The exposed body is no shock to young people.” The point is to involve the audience, to make it feel and think, Hoffman says.

By EUGENE J. CADOU INDIANAPOLIS ( U P I ) — Indiana has the strange habit of voting heavily for a Republican presidential nominee and then electing Democratic state

candidates.

That recollection is distressng Rep. William D. Ruckelshaus, GOP senatorial nominee, and Secretary of State Edgar D. Whitcomb, Republican gubernatorial candidate, these days. This is especially emphasized as the polls show an almost un-

believeable lead of Richard M. Nixon over Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey in the presi-

dential contest.

The Republican state organization poll gives Democratic Sen. Birch Bayh a slight margin over Ruckelshaus, and Whitcomb only a small lead over his Democratic rival, Lt. Gov.

Robert L. Rock. Bayh Better Known

Bayh is profiting from the fact he has served nearly six years in the Senate and conse-

quently is known to many more voters than his opponent. Also, Bayh has broken away from President Johnson on the Vietnam issue and now urges a cessation of bombing along with his Democratic colleague, Sen. Vance Hartke, a pioneer "dove.” Bayh’s change of policy may help him because there is little doubt that the Vietnam conflict is the most unpopular war in history with Hoosier voters. Indiana’s status many years ago as a stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan likewise probably hurts Ruckelshaus, who is a Cath-

olic.

Rock, because of incessant campaigning during his four

years in state office and his legislative career probably is more widely known than Whitcomb, who has held his state office only two years. Also, Dr. James Bogle, head of the state organization of Eugene J. MeCarthy, has endorsed Rock without mention of Whitcomb.

Wallace is Ominous

Ominous in the background is former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who scored nearly 30 per cent of the 1964 Democratic presidential primary vote against popular Gov. Matthew E. Welsh who was running as a stand-in for President John-

son.

Almost incredible is the result

of a poll of the Indianapolis News which showed Nixon 44 per cent, Wallace 21 per cent and Humphrey only 20 per cent in Indiana. Wallace’s standing may improve when he visits Indianapolis Thursday, although he may be handicapped by publicity received recently when an Indianapolis blonde claimed a romantic interest with Wallace. Indiana housewives sometimes are affected by implications of that nature.

At any rate, it behooves state candidates of both parties to en-

Marionettes plan achievement day

i s

The Marionettes Extension Homemakers Club held their September meeting at the home of Mrs. Donald Kendall. Roll call was answered by a short cut in housekeeping. Achievement Day on October 16 was discussed and all plan to attend. A collection was taken to help fill our Ditty Bags for our service men in Viet Nam. The announcement of Mrs. Ceilric Tharp being elected as Treasurer to the Extension Homemakers Councel, was made. Lesson was given by Mrs. . Burris “Planning and Planting a Perennial Flower garden.” Officers for the coming year

were elected. They are as follows; President, Mrs. Don Kendall; vice-president, Mrs. Frank Decker; Secretary, Mrs. James Mason; treasurer, Mrs. Gene Spencer; News Reporter, Mrs. Larry Miller; Song leader Mrs. Oscar Irving. The Hostess served refreshments to 12 members. The next meeting is October 22nd.

Even Western-trained Vietnamese seldom make important decisions without consulting a medium, an astrologer, or a geomancer who predicts fortunes from geometric figures, the National Geographic says

FREE! YOUR CHILD’S PORTRAIT IN NEW l/fij/ii/f}-' dltltlf' AMAZING NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC BREAKTHROUGH NOW GIVES COLOR PORTRAITS A BREATHTAKINGLY BRILLIANT QUALITY... YOU MUST SEE TO APPRECIATE!

MOTHERS ENTHUSIASTICALLY HAIL NEW CHILDREN’S PORTRAITS in a tiny laboratory near the giant Eastman Kodak plant in Rochester. N. Y., two young scientists worked tirelessly . . . often late into the night. Inspired by faith and an idea, words like "impossjble," “can’t be done" meant nothing. Their daring goal: to unlock the secrets of the great Renaissance artists and fuse them with modern color photography. SUDDENLY, SUCCESS CROWNS EFFORTS Undaunted by discouragements and financial difficulties, these men refused to quit. At last, after eight frustrating years, they succeeded beyond their highest expectation. Their discovery, the VIBRANT-COLOR process, is acclaimed as incomparably finer than ordinary color photography. So-called "natural color" or “living color" pictures seem pale, washed out and lifeless

compared to the deep, rich, glowing tones of VIBRANT-COLOR SCIENTISTS CHOOSE WESTVALE STUDIOS It was no accident that Westvale Studios, Inc. was chosen by these two dedicated scientists for the exclusive use of VIBRANT-COLOR. Westvale' is one of the largest portrait studios in the country.

HERE’S WHAT PARENTS SAY: "I AM OVERWHELMED! I never believed anything could be so truly beautiful!” writes Mrs. C. N. of Plattsburg, N.Y. "My VIBRANTCOLOR portrait of Danny and little Robin is the envy of all my friends,” writes Mrs. J. S. of Casper, Wyoming. “I’ve been a successful artist most of my adult years and I tell you truthfully, one would think it came from the brush of a Rembrandt or a Da Vinci,” says Mr. M. F„ painter and artist of Syracuse, N.Y.
