Thespians Try To Retain Spirit ■ OfShakespeare By PAT KING Since Shakespeare’s “A Midsum mer Night’s Dream” was written as a court masque to be presented at court, and probably at Queen Elizabeth’s, according to some au thorities, the University theater is attempting to keep the spirit of the gaudy trappings and pomp of the play for its presentation in Mc Arthur court April 24, under the direction of Horace W. Robinson. While mixing a can of silver paint with which to trim shields to be used in the play, Gilbert Wil liams, technical director, explained, ‘‘We’re not trying to copy realisti cally, but are interested in recreat ing the rich, colorful spirit that a court masque had in elizabeth s day, and combining it with his • torical value.” Some properties, including the donkey’s head, and 106 elaborate costumes are being rented from a San Francisco costume house for the cast and 50 dancers. The fairies will be clothed in Greek robes while the mortals will be dressed in Elizabethan style. Emelie Jackull is in charge of the costuming for the play. All scene changes will be accom plished through the use of lighting, under the direction of Howard L. Ramey. It has been said that this is the most difficult lighting job ever attempted by the University thea ter. Petitions Accepted For 'Guide' Heads Students to fill the positions of editor and business manager of next year’s student directory, the Pigger’s Guide, are asked to apply by petition to Dick Williams, edu cational activities manager. Williams, who will choose the students to do the work, has set noon Saturday, April 24, as dead line. Petitions and certificates of eligibility may be secured at the dean of men or women’s offices.
