Scotch Highlands
Are Storys' Scene
On March 13, 1947, New York
first-nighters at the Ziegfeld thea
ter were taken for a musical ride
to a make believe land. From open
ing night until the present day, the
story of "Brigadoon,” the Scottish
city which returns to earth once
every hundred years, has captivat
ed audiences throughout the United
States and Europe.
The story of ‘'Brigadoon” begins
with two hunters, who are lost in
the Scottish highlands. These hunt
ers, who are Albright and Jeff
Douglass, see a city in the distance
and walk to it. They find the
people in the square engaged in a
lively fair.
Almost Like Love
Tommy soon meets Fiona Mac
Laien, who tries to make him
more at home than the other
townsfolk. They go together to
gather heather and when they re
turn to the MacLaren house, they
find it has been “almost like be
ing in love.”
After discovering some unusual
dates in the MacLaren family Bible
and hearing talk of a "miraele,”
Tommy persuades Fiona to take
him to the dominie who tells him
the story of Brigadoon. Tommy
realizes that he is in love with
Fiona, and plans to stay with her
when Brigadoin vanishes. Jeff
disuades him and they go back to
New York.
Tommy, however, finds he “can
na’ ” get Fiona out of his mind.
He goes back to Scotland to see
the place Brigadoon was, and
finds his love for Fiona is strong
enough to wake Mr. Lundie, the
dominie, who welcomes him back
to Brigadoon.
Sub-Plot Told
A secondary plot revolves around
Fiona’s sister, Jean, who is mar
rying Charles Dalrymple the day
Tommy and Jeff find Brigadoon.
Harry Beaton, who lost Jean to
Charley, becomes jealous and de
cides to leave Brigadoon, which,
as we were told by the dominie,
would end the miracle and cause
Brigadoon to vanish.
During the chase for Harry Bea
ton, Jeff sees him running through
the woods and trips him. When
Harry falls, he hits his head on a
rock and is killed. This ends the
danger of the town vanishing.
Choral Favorites
Lively choral numbers and solos
of such favorites as “Almost Like
Being in Love," “The Heather on
the Hill,” “I'll Go Home Wi t h
Bonnie Jean,” “Waitin’ for My
Dearie,” “There But For You Go
I,” and “From This Day On” were
under the direction of Donald W.
Allton, assistant professor of mu
sic, who also directs the orchestra.
Bettie-Jane Owen, instructor in
physical education, who is well
known on campus for her work
with the modern dance group, chor
eographed the dances for “Briga
doon.”
The entire production is under
the direction of Horace W. Robin
son, assistant professor of speech.
Assistant director is Russell Har
rison.
I
Staging Job Called
Most Difficult Ever
j ; *
“'J he most difficult job of staging a University theater pro
duction will have been accomplished when the curtain rises
tonight on the opening performance of ‘Brigadoon’,” said How
ard L. Ramey, technical director of the University theater.
J he gay musical comedy, the last production of the current
season, has an elaborate setting which requires ten different
scenes.
Two stages which roll on and off
with the help of crew members
will be used for the Brockie open
shed and MacLaren house scenes.
The full stage will be the forest,
kirk and village square of Briga
doon, depending on variations in
the background and different posi
I tions of a moveable “hill.” For the
Lundie and New York bar scenes,
the fore-stage aprons will be used.
20 Feet Bigger
In the dream sequences, Fiona,
standing on top of a ramp in the
workshop, 52 feet in back of the
footlights, will be seen through;
layers of scrim. This is the first
time this year the large door be
tween the workshop and the main
stage has been raised to provide 1
an extra 20 feet of space. Because
the workshop is being used as a
part of the stage, to get from one
i side of the stage to the other,
! actors will have to walk 75 feet
| back to the hall corridor in the
basement of Villard hall.
! The settings were designed by
Horace W. Robinson, who also di
rected this production. Lighting
was designed by Howard Ramey,
instructor in speech. Special paint
ed effects were done by Neil Tar
dio, junior in art, and John Jensen,
■ sophomore in speech.
Crew Named
Crew for the show includes John
Jensen and Floy Louise Von Groen
ewald as co-stage managers; Dav
|id Sherman, electrician; Shirley
| Short and Phil Sanders, assistant
I electricians; Paul Maier, proper
ties; Dan Meeker, assistant props;
Pat Adkisson, Marilyn Miller and

NAACP Discussion
A public discussion of the
NAACP-student affairs commit
tee controvery will be held Tues
day at 7 p.m. in the Student Union.
The meeting, sponsored by~
Young Democrats, will feature a
short presentation by each side
and a discussion period. Charles
Grover, president of Young Demo
crats will act as moderator.
The NAACP has been seeking
recognition as a campus organiza
tion since last spring. At the last
meeting of the student affairs com
mittee on May 6 no motion was
made to recognize the club after
a 13-page statement from J. V.
Berreman, professor of sociology,
was read.
Refusal of recognition is based
on a University policy which pro
hibits groups with national affil
iations.
The Klu Klux Klan was in
corporated in Georgia in 1915.
