UNUSUAL PLAN TO DECIDE LEAD IN ‘WINTERSET’Mitchell And Rabogliatti To

Toss Coin For Play Character

The Arizona Playmakers’ winter quarter production will be “ Winter- set,” by Maxwell Anderson. This play is to be presented on the 27th and 28th of this month. The rea­son for presenting the play on two consecutive nights is an inter­change of twb of the leading parts by two members of the cast. Mio

to be played by Jack Mitchell ? night and the other by Neal

Rabogliatti. The character Garth, son of a poor Jewish Rabbi, is to be interchanged likewise. Half an hour before the curtain rises on the first night these two members of the cast will toss a coin to de­termine the part they will play. The Playmakers believe that this novel arrangement will afford the opportunity for the audience to compare two different typ^s of work in the same parts.

Other members of this large cast include Bill Manes, Btfrt Hollis, Mabel McKnight, Richard Croslin. Betsy Parks, Margaret Temme, John Christensen, John Connelly, Floy Thrasher, Marian McGuire, Howard Beazley, Eugene Turley, George Gilbert and 0. B. Joy.

The setting for Winterset is be­neath a bridge among tenement houses in the poorer section of New York City. An internal scene in the basement home of the Jewish Rabbi provides a unique change of scenery.

Tickets are on sale by Playmaker members. Student tickets may be obtained for 26c, and reserved seat tickets for 36c.

Puppets Based on Hopi LegendsHopi Indian legends told by Jim

Kewanwytewa, member of the Hopi tribe, have been rewritten as plays for the marionette theatre and are being staged by the class in ele­mentary art.

The scenes for the backdrops show the desert country of the

Sueblos. The marionettes are be- ig constructed o f wood or card­

board and are o f the jointless type used in the primary grades.

Marionette or puppet plays are o f very ancient origin. Figures be­lieved to haye been used as pup­pets have been found in the tombs o f ancient Egypt and marionettes were known to both the Greeks and

The word marionette, of French origin, means “ little mary" and de­noted originally the little figures o f Virgin Mary used in morality plays in the marionette theaters of the Middle Ages.

The familiar Punch and Judy are representatives of a simpler form of puppet.

Marionette plays which have al­ways been a widespread form of entertainment in Europe have be­come extremely popular in this country during the last 20 years.

Tony Sarg, a well known car­toonist and illustrator o f the Sat­urday Evening Post, became inter­ested in marionettes after seeing

a play in London. He wrote a num­ber o f plays adapted from such stories as ‘‘Treasure Island," “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and “ Sinbad the Sailor,” built the puppets and scenery and organized a company. A circuit was arranged for the marionette companv covering the territory from New York to San Francisco. The venture proved very profitable. The shows, which were given in theaters, played to capacity houses from the original opening.

There are now a large number o f marionette companies on the road and several thousand marion­ette theatres located in the vari­ous cities of the United States.
