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

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

who are perhaps more sensitive to
mood quality than professionals, we
should be able to create an appro

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

“Since it shows almost all of
Tschaikowsky’s “Swan Lake” and
“Sleeping Beauty” ballets plus a
highly entertaining story, it is real

entrance to the apartment where
the action takes place. When Tom
addresses the audience directly it
also aids in bringing the actors in
to closer proximity with the audi

“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.”
