Weekend Preview
Romeo & Juliet' on stage
By CHRIS HOUGLUM
Of the Emerald
Word has it that Eugene’s
recent accumulation of snow is
melting off, renewing prospects
for weekend entertainment as
usual. But entertainment editors
are a suspicious and skeptical
lot and none too prone to run
out the flag of Unbridled Opti
mism. Last night’s observation
of the dreaded Houglum’s Phen
omenon, in which the planet Ju
piter, in the ascendant, was seen
to be in conjunction with a cloud
bank, casts a pall upon our pre
sent situation. This occur
rence is by no means a miti
gating circumstance. It is a bad
omen.
Still, weekend entertainment
appears to be somewhat incon
sistent in respect to this dire
forecast. University Theatre’s
production of “Romeo and Ju
liet,” for instance, is the new
est, and easily the most signifi
cant, item on the agenda.
The presentation, which be
gins at 8 p.m. tonight on the
UT main stage, represents a
carefully edited and historically
stylistic version of Shake
speare’s tragedy.

Director Faber DeChaine has
mounted the drama against one
of the most lavish backdrops
undertaken by the UT in re
cent years. DeChaine has ex
pressed the desire to keep the
production as faithful as pos
sible to the world of the 15th
century Verona, Italy.
A comparatively large cast of
25 is headed by Ben Masters
and Elizabeth Lathram in the
title roles. Supplementary ac
tion is carried by Lou Salerni
as Mercutio, Ed Chilla as Friar
Laurence, Joel Morello as Par
is, John Glassburner as Benvo
lio, A1 Strobel as Tybalt, and
Patricia Gibson as the Nurse.
Performance dates are to
night and Saturday, and Feb. 5,
6, 7, 8. Curtain time is 8 p.m.
for all nights, and additional
matinee performances (four
were being planned last week)
may be scheduled.
Tickets go for $1.50 for
Wednesdays and Thursdays, and
$2 for Fridays and Saturdays.
They can be reserved through
the UT box office (except Sun
days) from noon ot 5 p.m., and
from noon to 9 p.m. on per
formance dates.
A creditable Very Little The
atre production of “The Star
Spangled Girl,” Neil Simon’s
hit comedy about two publish
ers of an underworld protest
magazine and their involvement
with a patriotic girl-next-door,
has been deferred because of
“Through love one creates his own personality and
helps others create theirs”
