For Miss SrtraJcn
"Working in the arena theater
i: it new experience for me,”
•f ■ tea Beverly Jinan ton, senior in
speech, who plays the role of Mrs.
Ha:de tie in the University the
■»*'.*• • production, "She Stoops to
( r.qucr." Ml--: ; Brunton feels that
thi type of production presents
i. .re problems, but that the 18th
century period [ lay is fun to do.
- Leading roles in the "Madwom
an of Chaillot,” "The Seagull,” and
this year's Heath r\s theater, "No
~Kxit," are indicative of her past
experience in the University the
ater. Says Miss Brunton, "All my
ioh- i in the past, with the excep
tion of the Header’s theater part,
■have been older women ar.d that’s
what the role of Mrs. Hardcastle
is. I wonder if I’ve been typed!”

Into Theater Role
"Oliver Goldsmith patterned the
•role of Tony Lumpkin in "She
Stoops to Conquer” after himself.
He was the same type of hardy,
"fun-loving person," states Scott
Lchner, freshman in music, who
jdajs the role. "Tony Lumkin is
the character lead of the play."
Lchner is another freshman who
resents a good background of
gh school drama work. He also

Miscues Conquer
Young Marlow
The “mistakes of a night" are j
what enable Kate Hardcastle to :
“stoop to conquer" the affections
of young Charles Marlow in the
play of the same title opening to
night in the arena theatre.
In the opening scene, the au
dience is introduced to the Hard
castle family, Mrs. Hardcastle
(Beverly Brunton) and Mr. Hard
easi le (Ethan Newrnani are seen
in a typical family “discussion”
as Tony Lumpkin, (Scott Lehner)
Mis. Hardcastle’s son by a pre
vious marriage, troops through on
his way to the local ale house.
Kate (Joella Wood) is told by her
father that he has sent for the
man he wishes to be her husband
young Charles Marlow, (Kate
Harshbarger) son of Hardcastle's
fri‘-r,d, Sir Charles Marlow.
At the Inn
At the inn, Tony meets the
young Marlow and his companion
Ha 'ings (Wade Eaton i who have
lost their way in the forest. Tony
directs them to his father’s house,
but tells them it is an ir.n. Hast
ings, who has come to court Mrs.
Hardcastle's ward, Constance Ne
ville, (Susan Perryi is surprised
to find her at the “inn." Although
he learns of Tony's trick, he
doesn't tell Marlow, who imposes
upon Mr. Hardcastle and the whole
family. His meeting with Kate
shows him to be very shy and
quite modest, so much so that he
never looks at her face. Later he
mistakes Kate for the barmaid—
but this time he is not so shy!
Mistakes
Tony has planned to help Hast
ings elope with Constance, whom
j his mother has picked for his wife,
i hut this plot falls through when
, Mrs. Hardcast'e intercepts a let
ter from Hastings. Stolen jewels
'and "the mistakes of a night” fur
ther complicate the plot.
This will be the first costume
play to be given in the arena style
on this campus. Tickets are now
on sale at the University theatre
box-office, but all weekends tick
ets are sold out, said Mrs. Gene
Wiley, University theatre business
manager.

ing in summer stock this vaca

theater production. Jo, whose
background of high school dra
matics is extensive, played a lead
ing role in the first UT production
of the season "The Happy Time,”
which is unusual for a freshman.
“This is the first time I have

ETHAN NEWMAX
‘Mr. Hareastle’
Very Little Theater
Attracts Newman
“I enjoy working with college
students. I've gotten something
from working with them .and I

'Set Minus Set'
Play Feature
A “set without a set’’ is the I
peculiar characteristic of the set
ting for "She Stoops to Conquer,”
which opens tonight in the arena
theatre.
Since walls are impossible in
this type of situation where the
audience sits On all four sides of
the acting area, only suggestions
of walls and other standard fea
tures can be made. The fireplace,
for example, is merely a set of
andirons and fire tools placed on
■the outline of a file-box.
Similarly, the tree used in the
gai den seen' is also merely a sug
gestion of the real thing. Furni
ture is used to create the illusion
of a room in an 18th century home.
Lighting will play a major part
in the audience’s impression of
Oliver Goldsmith's popular com
edy. The lighting was designed
by Howard Ramey, instructor in
speech and technical director of
the University theater. The switch
board will be run by Pat Adkisson,
sophomore in education, and Phil
Sanders, senior in speech.
The stage managers are Paula
Poppenheimer, freshman in liberal
arto, and Paul Maier, sophomore
in liberal arts. Props will be han
dled by David Sherman, freshman
in journalism. Other crew mem
bers who have worked on the pro
duction are Gorden Burtner, sen
ior in speech, Harold Long, senior
in speech, Elizabeth Mellveen,
freshman in English, Marilyn Mil
ler, freshman in liberal arts, and
Gorden Rennie, junior n speech.
