With William Shakespeare having
been given the nod this season by
the Theater Guild, his works per-
haps can be considered of sufficient
merit to be worthy of the attention
OF college drama groups. 1t is the
bard's Richard III that has at
tracted the attention of the Cue
and Curtain Club of George WASH
lngton University. which will stage
the drama next Friday and Satur-
day nights at Lisner Auditorium.
The fateS, according to Director
Floyd L. Sparks, have been much
kinder so far toward Richard III"
than they were toward the recent
"Of Thee I Sing" which almost did
not get staged because of cast ILL
nesses and other blocks thrown at
it. Things have been going along
handsomely, Mr.. Sparks was saying
over the telephone the other day,
speaking above the rhythmic tattoo
he was producing by knocking wood
on his desk.
The cast is headed by Andrew
Lantz as Richard, Bill McClellen as
Buckingham. Frank Falkenhainer
as Richmond, Jane Drew as Queen
Margaret, Margaret Fry as Queen
Elizabeth, Jane Summers as the
Duchess of York and Mimi Branson
as Queen Anne
Miss Summers also has functioned
as scene designer for the production,
her single set being a combination
Of space staging and the traditional
Elizabethan stage, using five levels
and the Shakespearean inner stage,
according to Mr.. Sparks. DR.. F.. S.
Tupper, the university's authority on
all things Shakespearean is acting
as technical adviser for the produc-
ton.

just dreamed UP two extra dreams,
and that was that.
The title role in the picture will be
played by Danny Kaye, which Should
turn out to be the years most adroit
piece of casting.

grets of theater managers booking
Lionel Hamptons Orchestra is that
they cannot get additional insur-
ance for the period of his appear
ance. When Hampton swings, he
works his hearers into such a frenzy
that the more susceptible get so far
out of control they rip up seats or
else that is rippable.
The average repair bill, Hampton S
advance man is not too sad to re-
late, is about $4,000 for a full week

his orchestra.
