(Photo by Mike Mitchell) French Play Brings Pleasing Contrast By Barbara Hollands Guild theater’s venerable stage was host to something differ ent in dramatic production Monday night when the French de partment and the University Theater presented Moliere's “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.” Performed entirely in French, the seventeenth century com edy-ballet by the famous French playwright was comprehen sible, amusing, and very well done. Under the direction of Dick Rayburn, with R. L. Pic ard, assistant professor of ro mance languages, in charge of production, the small cast of French students did an excellent job of a difficult assignment. Ed Van Natta played the leading role of Monsieur Jourdain, about whom the amusing satire revolves. Jourdain, a wealthy bourgeois, em ploys a number of tutors, and in his obsessive desire to simulate “the people of quality,” he is unable to realize that he is being swindled. The climax is reached when his daughter is married to one whom he but is, in reglity, the commoner to whom he has denied her hand. Coralie Nelson, Beverly Rohrer, Nancy Morgan, Bill Wallace, Glenn Morgan, Jim Eakin, Ann Thomp son, Jim Blue, Jo Ann Jarvis, Julian Hoffman, and Bill Johnson play the other principal roles. A French atmosphere was main tained throughout the production by original seventeenth century music played by a small orchestra composed of students from the school of music, and the French speaking ouvreuses and vendeur des programmes. Robert D. Horn, professor of English, presented the English prologue. Free Tickets For Recital Starting this morning, faculty, and student wives, and University employees may get free tickets to a special Friday afternoon recital. Presented by prominent mem bers of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, the recital will be held at 4:15 in the music school audi torium this Friday.

Would-be listeners may receive tickets at the Educational Activi ties office in McArthur court from 8 to 12 a. m. and from 1 to 5 p. m. today, tomorrow and Friday, or as long as the limited number of tick ets lasts. Concert Master of the Minneap olis symphony, Louis Krasner, is head of the select group. Common ly called the Krasner Chamber Mu sic Ensemble, they havp frequently appealed together in major cities. This recital is in addition to the full concert to be given Friday night at 8:15 by the entire Minne apolis symphony orchestra. The evening concert will be in McAr thur court and students will be re quired to show registration cards. Publication Still Possible With 3 Week Strike Whether or not Oreganas will pc distributed this term depends pn the duration of the lithogra phers’ strike in Portland. The itrike, called Saturday, is over a lispute between labor and man igement concerning a welfare plan for workers. The Oregana could weather a ;hree-week strike and still be dis cributed spring term, but if it lasts onger than that the yearbook will lave to be mailed to students dur ng the summer. There is no indication as to the possible duration of the strike, ac cording to Dick Williams, educa tional activities manager, who spoke with Arthur J. Markewitz, general manager of Bushong’s in Portland yesterday morning. Nearly two-thirds of the Ore ?ana is completed, leaving about 100 pages to be run off. Two Port land firms—Irwin-Hodson, in charge of lithography, and Bush ing’s, which has the contract for color insert and cover—each have ibout 10 days work on hand. Both these businesses are being pick eted by the lithographers. Oregana Editor Trudi Cherr.'is expressed confidence that the year book would be distributed this term, since all editorial work has been completed and is in the hands of the printers. As soon as the lithographers’ strike is over, the yearbook can be readied for dis tribution.
