Moss Hart Drama

"The Climate of Eden," one
of the best-acted, beat-produced
University Theatre
plays in recent years, opened
on the UT stage Friday night.
The drama, by Moss Hart, is
set in the steamy jungle of
British Guiana. The tropical

Astronomy Qroup
Offers Butte Idea
The Eugene Astronomical So -
ciety got on the Skinner Butte
construction proposal bandwag
on Saturday by suggesting erec
tion of an astronomical science
center atop the buttc.
Roger Fidlcr, program direc
tor for the society, said the cen
ter might include an observatory
and planetarium. Society mem
bers and civic groups have al
ready indicated an interest in
donating a telescope and con
struction funds, Fidlcr said.
He outlined his ideas in a let
ter to Eugene Mayor Ed Cone.
The science center thus joins
a pioneer museum, a restaurant,
an ice skating rink and a tourist j
railroad on a list of items pro-
Kovacs' Last
TV Show
To Be Aired
By JAMES BACON
Of th0 Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD OB A week
ago Saturday, a skidding, blind
ing traffic crash killed comedi
an Ernie Kovacs.
But the nation's TV viewer:
will see his last show as sched
uled over ABC-TV next Tues
day night and without com
mercials. Dutch Master cigars, an un
usual sponsor, will pick up the
tab for the half-hour sh-iw. In
stead of the usual four minutes
allotcd for commercials, the
show will substitute a classic
Kovacs' bit the Nairobi Trio.
The show was taped Dec. 3
and a spokesman for the spon
sor said only one premise de
cided its airing.
"Ernie would have liked that
It be seen and enjoyed," the
spokesman said.
Kovacs' relationship with his
sponsor was unique. He once
said that the cigar firm "cared
nothing about ratings, formats,
critics or cost. All they cared
about was me and the way I
held that cigar."
The final show, fortunately, is
one of Kovacs' better ones. It
has a lot of his far-out humor
and closes with some candid
camera shots of him fooling
around with his crew. These
were not originally intended to
be aired but they will be.

'Unique Attraction'
In his letter to Cone, Fidler
said, "It is the opinion of the
Eugene Astronomical Society
that a science center on Skinner
Butte would be an excellent and
unique attraction. It would have
no comparison along the Ore
gon-Washington freeway except
for the Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry in Port
land,
"In addition to a tourist at
traction it would ba a valuable
asset to the citizens of Lane
County, especially to local
schools and youth organiza
tions." Society member Derald Him-
bcr has agreed to donate his 12-
mch reflecting telescope, with a
value of $1,500 to $2,000 to such
a center, Fidler said.
Expects Donations'
"It would not be necessary for
the city of Eugene to pay for
the science center," Fidler's let
ter said. ". . It is our opinion
that if the city merely set aside
a plot of ground on Skinner's
Butte for this specific purpose,
sufficient donations could be ob
tained to complete construc
tion.
Cone has met with an infor
mal committee of Eugene busi
ness and city officials to dis
cuss possible development of the
buttc. He has said subcommit
tees would study the various
facets of development propos
als.
City Officials Receive
Gifts of Korean Diaries
Copies of a 1062 Korean
photo-dairy have been sent to
Mayor Edwin E. Cone and sev
eral of Eugene's officials by II
Woo Lee, Korea's consul-general
at San Francisco.
Lee was the city's guest for
the observance of the first an
niversary of Eugene's sister city
program with Chinju, Korea,
Jan. 10.
The diaries, illustrated with
numerous photos of Korea, were
sent in appreciation of the city's
hospitality, Lee said.

the snowdrifts and chilly
temperatures for the open
ing night.
Friday night's acting per
formances were excellent.
From the featured roles to
the bit parts, the portrayals
were above a layman's crit
icism. Cast members with major
roles were Karen Higgins,
Scott Moir, Irlc White, Dori
White, Jane Stevens, J. A.
Philips, and George Lauris.
The fine supporting cast in
cluded Tom Ness, Paula Bon
nier, William Gregory, Mich
ael Feris, Bill Austin, Mar
garet Crnin, Sue Weber, David
Bencdctti, Idalah Luria, Jon
athan liamcy, Lynn and
Laurie Cheatham.
White was cast as a prates
tant missionary, stationed in
the remote wilds of South
America for the past 24 years.
In these years, he developed
his own "world," with its
unique culture, traditions, dis
cipline, morals and religion,
all shared by his wife, Joan,
played by Dori White, and
his children, portrayed by
Miss Higgins, Moir, Miss
Stevens and Philips.
Into this unusual life comes
the minister's nephew, played
by George Lauris. He repre
sents all the material, "civil
ized" things of the outside
world.
And so the play, allegorical
in some aspects, satirical in
others, takes the theatergoers
into a culture contradicting
many "civilized" notions.
Hart makes the jungle cul
ture more palatable than the
modern, outside world.
The playwright's theme was
certainly ambitious, and inter
esting from many viewpoints.
But the production had only
a short run on Broadway, and
has had only two West Coast
productions one of them at
the UT even though Hart
considered the drama as "his
most interesting."
The play has many fine
scenes, several highly memor
able characters, moments of
deep insight into the prob
lems of modern man and some

humorous, biting satire.
It also has moments where
Hart contradicts his own mes
sage and where situations are
obviously contrived. These lat
ter scenes have the effect of
bringing the playgoer out of
his deep fascination with the
production and landing him,
with a hard bump, back in his
UT seat.
Even with these deficien
cies, however, the play and
especially the UT's production
of it is more than worth the
price of admission.
Adding greatly to the pro
duction was the fine, imagin
ative set, which reminds a
UT regular of the great set
decoration work in "Brand,"
"Rashomnn" and "The En
chanted." Robert Eggers de
signed the set and the lighting.
