Friendly Rivalry is Keynote of ‘Julie’ By JEAN LAWRENCE “There is no jealously or loss of temper between us,” said Mary Lee Steel and Phyllis Kiste, senior in business and freshman in liberal arts, doubly cast in “Liliom’s” leading feminine role. Both have decided that an alter ego is an excellent thing in a “We boost each other’s morale; t U ing each other how good we Besides building' morale, their split role enables them to see each other play the role of Julie. “Julie is the sweet, quiet type,” said Mis3 Steel, but she hastened to explain that Julie is not submissive or weak. “She loves Liliom so mu :h, but he won’t show his love for her, so she won’t for him,” add^d Miss Kiste, explaining the compexities of Julie’s nature. Box Office Manager Both leads are Oregonians and have worked for the University theater previously. For the past year Miss Steel has been box office manager, although this is her first performance on stage. Miss Kiste portrayed the character of Helen of Troy in “The Trojan Women” given last term. “Julie and Helen of Troy are entirely different char acters!” laughed Miss Kiste. Describing their peasant cos tumes, the girls accented the longer-than-campus length skirts and the long white stockings with ; black shoes similar to the Mary Janes of fashions past. “Liliom” is a “wonderful” play to them, the scenery superb, the lighting and music very effective, and they agreed that it is wonderful experi ence to be working with their di rector, Horace W. Robinson. Compliment Returned “We’ll return the compliment to the ‘principals’,” said Miss Kiste enthusiastically. “They are really very good.” Both agreed that Louis Vogler, sophomore in music, is well cast in the role of Liliom.
