Play Cast For 'Dream' Completed Orchesis Members, Dance Class to Act Clown Part, Lullaby Queen Titania’s fair court for the April 24 production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be members of Orchesis and the women’s intermediate dance class, Rosamond Wentworth, associate professor of physical education and co-director for the dance se quences of the production, an nounced Monday. The dance soloist is Margaret M. Moran, instructor in health and physical education. Miss Mo ran, who acts as co-director of the dance sequences, came to the University campus this year from Texas State college for women, where she taught dancing. She received her university training at Mary Washington College at Fredericksburg, Virginia. Modern dance will take the place of ballet for the production with about 36 dancers scheduled for the fairy court. Dancers will be costumed in Grecian robes of solid colors, with sets of six danc ers dressed in the different shades within a color family. The fairies' first dance the scherzo in the introduction to Act II, which sets the mood for the entrance of Titania, the queen of the fairies. Miss Moran solos in the scherzo. The fairy dancers return to dance for Titania when she goes to sleep. This lullaby number is accompanied by a choral group as well as the University Symphony orchestra, which plays for the en tire production. Special Music Used Mendelssohn's “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” music will be used for the presentation. This music has been the accepted mu sical accompaniment for the play since it was introduced in Ger many. The use of music and dance in the production conforms to the places where Shakespeare sug gested their use. A comedy burgomask, dance of the clowns, will be given as a part of the presentation for the Duke and his bride, Hippolyte near the end of the play. Five members of Orchesis will dance the burgomask: Suzanne Dimm, Alene Litson, Harriet Minot, Pat Williams, and Barbara Knodell. Orchesis members who will dance the scherzo are: Estella Allen, Joyce Bailey, Fely Corcue ra, Suzanne Dimm, Lywayne Next Artist r '•.> ISAAC STERN Violinist to Play Concert Sunday Audiences of “Humoresque,” the Warner Brothers movie, did not know that John Garfield's musicianship really belonged to Isaac Stern. This 27-year-old vio inist will perform in Eugene at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Before ghosting the ’‘Humor esque” sound track, Stern was la beled “one of the world’s master fiddle players.” A recent profile of the artist described him as a short, chunky young man who looks more like a “Dodger fan than a great violinist.” He was born in Russia, but his family moved to California when he was a year old. “They took me to concerts,” the violinist re called, “but I did not come back and cry for a violin. I was far from a genius.” Years later after an appearance in Town Hall in New York, Stern made a similar comment: “I was n’t the greatest thing since Pag anini.” He was 17 when this New York debut was made. After two years of plodding, he was signed by Impresario S. Hu rok. Stern is still under Hurok’s direction. Now he plays 90 cen certs a season, records for Co lumbia, and has appeared with most of the major symphony or chestras in the United States.

Its development within a single lifetime has been a modern miracle. Yet it is only the beginning. There are any number of men in the telephone business today—some just start ing out—who will see greater progress than the past has ever known. . Year by year the next half century will be increasingly theirs. New leaders will appear from among them. Step by step, rung by rung, they will mount the ladder to the top. For telephone management is employee management and comes up from the ranks. There will be more good jobs for qual ified men in the telephone business in 1958 and 1998 than now. It just can’t help being that way. For of all the busi nesses and professions, there are few more interesting and necessary. So the future is bright for those -who make telephony their life work. For them, "The best is yet to be.” BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
