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

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.

“THE BEST IS YET TO BE”
The telephone will be seventy-two years
old this year. 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.”
