Junior Weekend Stage Nears Completion Sound Shell of Three Levels To Be Feature Eight Spotlights To Furnish Light For Symphony By JIMMIE LEONARD A quarter-sphere sound shell of three levels and pastel blue and Venetian red colors will be the stage and main center of at tention for Junior Weekend canoe fete Saturday night, May 11. Eight spotlights in the dome of the stage, which will furnish a complementary color scheme, will light the 50-piece symphony orchestra and other personalities on the stage, Bob Swan said yes terday. Swan, Junior Weekend art di rector, said that the stage was already near completion, and that its cost not including the lighting system—would be $200. Queen in Front Queen Betty (Buchanan) and her court of four princesses— Laura Jean Maurice, Eleanor Collier, Suzanne Cunningham, and Janet Foster will be seated on the first, or six-foot, level, and the last two levels will seat the symphony. For the second time in as many years a water curtain over the will race will introduce the floats that pass before the spectators. This year's curtain will be even more elaborate than last year’s, Swan said. A proscenium arch over the race will duplicate the one surmounting the sound stage. The amount of water in the water curtain will be doubled over the amount used last year, and in stead of ordinary light, spectrum light will shine into the watery sheen, producing the effect of many rainbows. String Instruments The 50-piece University sym phony orchestra, under the direc tion of Rex Underwood, will be composed mostly of string instru ments, in the mode of Viennese orchestras during the time of Jo hann Strauss, whose music is highlighting the weekend theme, ‘‘Vienna in Springtime.” The or chestra will be seated on two levels. There will be a complete re hearsal of the canoe fete’s musi cal program in the music audi torium Wednesday evening nt 7:45, Swan announced.
