Shown here in rehearsal Is the quartet of madwomen, as played by (from left) Jo Tallman, Joan Do Lap, Beverly Brunton, all of Eugene, and La Rue Daniel, Ogden, Utah. University Readies 'Madwoman' For Friday Night Performance The University Theatre's first production of the season, "The Madwoman of Chaillot," will open, this Friday for a six-night run. Dates of the play, an adaptation of a famous French fantasy by Jean PICTURE PREVIEWS An adult social comedy and a colorful Technicolor musical-com edy highlight this week's bookings in Eugene. "Texas Carnival," the musical, follows a typical pattern of song interspersed with fast-paced hu mor, and the usual moonlight ro mantic scenes added for good measure. But it is none-the-less entertaining. The story tells of a moneyless carnival barker (Red Skelton) and his partner (Esther Williams) who operate a "dunk-the-girl" booth in a small carnival in Texas. Cattleman The pair gets mistaken for a drunken, but rich cattleman (Kcenan Wynn) and his sister.i and are forced to lead his life to ent. Esther Williams falls in love with the cattleman's foreman, and he with her. One spectacular scene has F.sther apparently swimming over, through and around the furnish ings in the foreman's hotel suite. "Texas Carnival" starts Sunday at the Hciling. "People Will Talk" The social comedy, "People Will Talk," is the story of a fa mous doctor who marries one of! his patienfs after her attempted' suicide. The doctor later quashes J a would-be expose conceived by an envious fellow professional. Starring Cary Grant and Jeanne Crain, the film is conceded to be a provocative and entertaining comedy-drama, according to sev eral reviewers. Based on the Ger man play "Dr. Praetorius," it combines medical theory and practice, an academic court mar tial, a weird old law case based on fact, and a love story which skirts conventional barriers. Mupiral Thread Definitely an adult drama, the Giraudoux, will be Oct. 26, 27 Nov. 1, 3, 9, and 10. The play, a satirical comedy in a whimsical mood, is set in a sidewalk cafe in Paris, in the district of Chaillit. The plot develops from the situ ation in which the Countess Aur- eha, the "Madwoman of Chaillot, played by Beverly Brunton of Eugene, and three other madwO' men representing other sections of Paris, attempt to rescue the mod ern world from its unsolved prob lems and evil influences. The audience is left wondering just who are the sane in the world today. The other three madwomen are played by Joan De Lap and Jo Tallman, Eugene, and La Rue Daniel, Ogdcn, Utah. The play is in modern sotting but the four madwomen appear in Victorian dress in keeping with the spirit of fantasy of the production. Ray Fryman of Portland has the male lead. Dorothy Polanski of Salem plays Irma. Others in the cast are Robert Chambers and Fa ber De Chaine, Portland; Don Doak, Eugene; Lorin Miller, Coos Bay; Larry Swanson, La Grande; and Gordon Howard of Roscburg, Handling additional minor roles will be Glenn Mozer, Gerald Pearce, Eugene; Richard Hiatt, La I Grande; Jerry Smith, Portland; and Harold Long, Kennewick, Wash. t urn, if; Sunday thru Saturday "Texas C'iir nival" and vr.x , Thursday thru Saturd.tv i "DoriiTe Citv" and -Vircima Clly Wrdnesday thru Saturday MAYFLOWER Sunday thru Tursday Phantom of tre Oprra" Wrdnrstlay thru Saturday "Tne Great Caruso" LANK Sunday thru Tuesday "T.ike Care of Mv Little Girl" 'hwnrd of .Monto Lriein Wrdnrsdav thru Saturday "nmiiKcler's Island" and "Half Ansel MrKKNIE Sunday thru Tuesday "Horp Comes the Groom" and "Val Wrrinrsdar thru Saturday 'AnRds in the Outfield" and "Tal TarKPt" VAHS1TV Sunday and Monday "Pyumy Nl.-ni'i" and "Cuban Fireball' Turnliiv and Wednesday Closed Thursday thru Saturday The Capture" and "SmugHtcr's Cold' CASCADE DRIVE IN hriifi'crs inree' ana "sira risers Tuesday thru Thursday Closed Fridi' ' and ' i Who "Dumbo" "The Great and Saturday "i wat a (Jommnntst lor me tui" ana "Black Beauty" MOnr.NA MOTOR VU Sunday and Monday 'S.imson and Delilah" and "Variety Time" Tupsd.iv Ihrii Thursrfnv "The Lemon Tiwa Kid' (- heatrrt Him.eir Frl'l-iy and Saturday "The Lat Outnost" and NORTH END DRIVE IS Sunday and Monday "Rnseana McCnv" and "Union Station'' Tuesday thru Thursday Hood Sam" nnd "The Lion Hunters" Friday and Saturday "Cinderella" ami "The Gimfigliter'' FIRS (River Iln.id) Sunday and Munday "Half AiikpI" and "Three Husbands Turid.iv and Wdnrsdas' "Pavment on Demand" and "Sealed Larco Thnrwlav thru Saturday "Ynu'rp in the Navy Now" and "2nd Woman" VICTORY ainrrola) Sunday and Mondav "S.im'nn anr!

What's a woman's director? Well, he's a guy who can evoke fine performances from the heavy emoters on the distaff side. Bern hardt doesn't care much for the title. He argues that he has di rected many masculine films in Hollywood and was imported be cause of some tough, manly pic tures he made, in France.
