'Stage Door' Dates Set for March 3-5 Playing dates for the University theater production, “Stage Door” have been set for March 3, 4, and 5, it was announced by Horace W. Robinson, assistant professor of drama yesterday. Reservations may be obtained by application at the office of the drama department in Johnson hall. The motion picture version of "Stage Door” has been so altered from the original play that the setting and the names of the char acters are practically all that re main common to both. The original play as written by Edna Ferber and George Kauf man contains frank denunciation of much that is Hollywood. This poke at the movies is character ized by the role of a youthful, ard ent playwright, Keith Burgess, who is determined to give his works social meaning. He accepts an of fer from the movies and proceeds to go “Hollywood” with all the trimmings. The movie version com pletely eliminates the part of Keith Burgess and any derogatory j comment on Hollywood in general.
