New Play 'Polished Production' “There are many unique features about The Glass Menagerie,’’ said Horace W. Robinson, director of the next University Theater produc tion. “The significant factor, though, is that we are using these treatments not for their singulari ty, but because they add to the ef fectiveness of the production.’’ A non-reali3tic memory play, The Glass Menagerie can be. presented with unusual freedom of conven tion. Tom, the leading male charac ter, narrates the story only as it ap plies to his own problems, and mem ory exaggerates some details and minimizes others. The play follows no special continuity line, skipping from scene to scene as the subcon scious is wont to do. As Tom says, “In memory ev erything seems to happen to music.” Used extensively throughout the production, music is an essential part of the play. “With our access to the music school, and musicians who are perhaps more sensitive to mood quality than professionals, we should be able to create an appro Russian Movie Showings Today A gay, romantic story against a background of beautiful music and ballet is what “Russian Ballerina,” a movie with American subtitles, will offer to students viewing it to day at 3:30 p. m. in 207 Chapman hall, or at 7:30 in 101 Physical Ed ucation building tonight. “Since it shows almost all of Tschaikowsky’s “Swan Lake” and “Sleeping Beauty” ballets plus a highly entertaining story, it is real ly a $5 value,” commented V.

When Tom addresses the audience directly it also aids in bringing the actors in to closer proximity with the audi ence. “The Glass Menagerie presents a challenge to acting ability,” re marked Mr. Robinson. “We are very fortunate in having a mature, com petent cast that has taken a keen in terest in the play. It will be a pol ished production,” he continued, “and we are planning performances for the Northwest Drama Confer ence with assurance.” The presentation of The Glass Menagerie by the University Thea ter on February 4 will be the first amateur performance of the play in the state of Oregon. “We have tried for two years to gain a re lease,” said Mr. Robinson, “but have just been successful in our at tempts.” Former Dean's Condition Better Improvement was noted Wed nesday in the condition of Virgil Delman Earl, dean emeritus of the University, who was reported Tues day as dangerously ill.
