Newspaper Page TextPage t EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sat.. April 13, 1963 Ambitious Production UT Scores With' J. B.' ' By KENNETH PAYNE rot the Regulcr-Guard ' "J. B." Is the most ambitious , production attempted by Unl - versity Theatre in some time. Sensitively produced, directed, and performed, it is unques tionably one of the most re warding. ' . With kinship lines that ex tend back into medieval moral ity and classic Greek drama, the play is illusion within illusion within Illusion. Director Horace Robinson, set designer Gayle Clough, and the cast of "J. B." successfully lead the audience through the thin barriers Into a new theatrical dimension and a new reality. As everyone doubtless knows, the Archibald MacLcish poetic drama is a variation upon the theme of Job. It reaches beyond the literal specifics of exis tence to the central question In a universe seemingly without justice, where evil passes un punished and good unrewarded, what is it to be a man? Whose is the guilt? MacLcish may not provide an answer satisfactory . to everyone, but he couches it in theatrical terms that never fail to excite or move Tho scene Is a circus arena. A popcorn sollar (Nichles) and a balloon man (Mr. Zuss) with cosmic imagination set about playing God and the devil at variance over tho allegiance of a good and upright man (J.B.). The story of J.B. or (Job or Man) then unfolds. Sister City Book Drive Under Way A campaign to collect certain magazines and mialitv children's books to s"nd to Eugene's sister city of Chlnju, Korea, was launched Friday. Members of the EuooneCliin. Ju Sister City Steering Commit tee adopted a suggestion which camo from one of its members. -Mrs. John Gregor, to exchange dooks with citizens of Chlnju. '. '.Mrs. Gregor said she has re ceived a letter from Dr. Kim Voon Yang indicating represent ative books are being collected there to send to Eugene. In exchange, tho Eugene group is seeking contributions .of certain types of magazines and books to send to Chinju schools. Forrest Pitts, chairman of the Eugene committoc, said he will attempt to collect repre sentative but out-dated text books from the Eugcno school system. To go with tho textbooks, tho committee is seeking contribu tions from tho public of chil dren's good, used illustrated atory books, book classics for children (such as Tom Sawyer), Hnrt books along tho lino of the "Dr. Scuss" series. ) The committee also seeks con tributions of copies of the fol lowing magazines: "Nature," "Science," "Scientific Ameri can," "National Geographic," "Natural HMorv." "Horizons." "American Heritage," "Popular nnence, I'opular Mechanics, "Boys Life," "American Girl," "Child Life," and stamp collect ing and coin collecting maga zincs. Books and magazines in bun dlesmay be left at the council chamber of tho Eugene City Hull, Pitts said. They will be stamped with a slogan, "E u g e n c Friendship Book." then shipped to Chinju via the U.S. Navy's free Opera tion Handicap program. The book and magazine col lection drive will continuo to May 15. Pills reported that seven Uni versity of Oregon Korean stu dents have volunteered to trans late letters that are coming to Eugene from Chinju residents through the HOKE Community Awards program. Members of clubs here sent nine 181) letters to Chlnju to win award points in the promo tion program. Sixty or more re plies have been received. Letters which require transla tions may be delivered to radio station KOHK, Pitts said, and Ihey will then he forwardrd to the student translators. i Fire Runs j (From noon Friday un- ( i til 9:31) a.m. Saturday.)

Salurdav House fire at 304 N. 25lh : St. apparently started In j electric clothes dryer, cx tensive damage. r . Reduced to despair by the loss of family and possessions, af flicted and abandoned by all save those who share his an guish, J. B. cries out his ques tion. An activist (or materialist or Communist, call him what you will), a priest, and a psychia trist try to comfort him. They have no satisfactory answer. J.B is his own answer, and he rises from the ashes declaring that he can bear to be a man if he can but be one. His own right hand, he says, can save him. He will never again, no matter what, 'sink to the dung heap. Dignity restored, J.B. life be gins anew. The MacLcish play makes al most incredible demands upon the Imagination and skill of a director and his cast. Robinson, his crew, and his cast meet them confidently. The act Gayle Clougb has designed and the use Robinron makes of it are alone worth seeing, and when the voice of God thunders through the whirlwind, the effect is electrifying. Performances in "J.B." arc unified, controlled, and, with only a few exceptions, quite, quite convincing. The burden of proof is carried by George Lauris as J.B., Patricia Larson as his wife, J. Allan Phillips as Nickles, and Chris Robinson as Air. Zuss. These four, in spite of interpretative and vocal de mands made upon them, come through well. Line reading is sometimes too stilted; voices sometimes falter. But MacLcish asks a lot, and the cast re sponds. Vincinz Panny in his brief moments as the psychia trist performs to his usual high standard. "J.B." is a difficult play, but it Is throughout, as produced by UT, a high interest play. In producing it and in producing it as well as it was done Friday night, the UT is offering theater lovers in Eugene something spe cial J.B." will be performed again at 8 tonight and Thursday through Saturday of next week.

Youth Held In Mystery Sea Deaths KEY WEST, Fla. im Roger Foster, 17-year-old admitted kill er of the charter boat Dream Girl's two -man crew, was brought to Key West by a Coast Guard vessel Saturday and was immediately whisked away from the docks by FBI agents and county officers. The husky youth, wearing a T-shirt and pants stained with blood, was held for 15 minutes aboard the Coast Guard cutter after its arrival, then was hur ried to a waiting automobile. Both his hands were band aged and he appeared dazed as he was led ashore. An FBI agent held him firmly by one arm and Sheriff Henry Haskins held the other. The cutter also towed the Dream Girl into port. Her deck was spattered with blood. "I murdered them and threw them overboard," Foster told Coast Guardsmen when the charter boat was found Friday alter a wide search, out of fuel 20 miles from the coast of Com munist Cuba. The youth was alone on the deck. He said he had killed the cap tain, Douglas Trevor, 47, and his' son, Edward, 22, the first mate, Foster chartered the sports fishing boat, possibly in a mad effort to reach Cuba for an at tempt to assassinate Fidel Cas tro, after earlier attempting to kill himself in a Key West mo tel room.

ON BROADWAY The Drlttera Lane Planners Add $11,000 to Budget The Cetral Lane Planning Council Friday added almost $11,000 to its proposed $94,085 budget prepared by Consultant Howard Buford for the year starting July 1. Members representing Eu gene, Springfield, Junction City, School Districts 19 and 4, Lane County, Eugene Water & Elec tric Board, and the Willamalane Park District made two de cisions: To raise Buford's salary from $12,280 to $12,900 a year. He had not requested an in crease. , To provide $10,207 for an assistant director' of the plan ning council who could provide top level consultation for the cities of Eugene and Spring field. Since Buford's budget only showed possible receipts of $94,- 085 for fiscal year 1963-64, there now remains a question of how to ante up the extra $11,-' 000. This may be done several ways. Eugene City Manager Hugh McKinley said he will recom mend adding $4,000 to Eugene's contribution (it now is $19,000), and Springfield City Manager Frank Smiley said he would recommend adding $2,000 to that city's precent $7,000 share. But both city managers said they will also recommend that a "proviso" be tied to these extra funds: That they will only be given to the planning council when the assistant director is actually hired. There are also several other possibilities for raising more money for planning. First, the council hopes to get the Spring field Utility Board to join. It also hopes that EWEB will, as others have this year, raise its contribution from the present $2,255. The planning council on Fri day voted to accept two new members. These are the city of Cottage Grove, which will con tribute $600 a year, and Bethel School District 52, which will contribute $475 a year. Two members raised their contribution. These are Eugene School District 4, which added $250 for a $2750 total; and Springfield District 19, which Eugenean Dies In Colorado- Noel J. Holloway.63, of 121 Hansen Lane, Eugene, died Fri day in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the home of a sister. Holloway, a machinist for the Southern Pacific Railroad, was visiting the sister, Mrs. J. H. Shourt, at the time of his death. Other survivors include another sister, Mrs. Homer Dahlquist of Zurich, Montana, and a brother Melvin Holloway of Hogland, Montana. The body will be shipped to Missouri for burial. TONIGHT J. 15. By Archibald MacLcish Diamond 2-1411, Ext. 1781 Until 8:00 p.m. $1.25 8:00 p.m. UNIVERSITY THEATRE TiffnnnifiN Uvsj. !

In any event, the Central Planninu Council's budget is sure to go up substantially from the one approved last year for $79,746. Much of the increase is for staff. Buford noted that new subdivision laws passed last year have required much more staff time. . Firm Files Demurrer To Court Suit First National Auto Sales Co. filed a demurrer in Lane Coun ty Circuit Court Thursday, al leging that a suit against the used car firm by the First Na tional Bank of Oregon is faulty. The bank filed suit last month. asking that First National Auto Sales be required to stop using the name "First National" be- cause it "causes confusion in the minds of the public" and results in substantial criticism of the bank. The demurrer claims the bank's complaint docs not state enough facts to constitute a cause for suit. "Oregon law does not protect the plaintiff's name under the facts alleged," the demurrer says. Herb Nill, manager of First National Auto Sales, said his firm would contest the suit on grounds the name "First Na tional" is used by many firms all over the country.
