  • Friday, May 6, 1966 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN PAGE 5 Production Will Open Tuesday Mike Gray, Alta Moseley and Gail Whitlock polish up a scene. —Continued from Page 4 Both agreed that this was the most difficult play that they have ever worked with. Both men, however, were satisfied with the results of the set. Alta Moseley and Betty Cooper, both of whom are playing Eliza, were conferring on a point backstage. Both felt they needed some more polishing on their roles, but both felt that the show would be ready for opening night. During my wandering around, I heard a number of comments —the show is going great—We need a lot of work—We could open tonight—At first I thought the whole show was a lot of baloney, bit now I think it is great—Man, when are we going to take a break—? Sue Schnurr, the property mistress, said, "It sure causes wear and tear on the feet." Most of the other cast members were quite busy. Everyone is working hard getting ready for opening night. Among the principal performers are Mike Gray, Jerry Lee Conner, Karen Blackmore, Linda Hardy, Ned Allison, Gail Whitlock and Mike Nichols. James Kane, who is from New Jersey, said that he was "very excited about the show." He plays one of Doolittle's cronies. This is his first LTC appearance. Other Doolittle cronies are Dick Kuszyk and Fred Roane. The scenes were being changed with an unbelievable smoothness. In a matter of seconds, Higgin's study is transformed into the Ascot racing scene. Mr. Roberts walked over. "Now we can talk. The cast is taking a short break." "How does it feel to be the busiest man on the campus?" "Great!" "What would you say the basic difference is between this show and the one you directed last spring, GYPSY?" "It is a larger show, more precise and complete, more polished over-all. Everything must be exact. GYPSY was much more informal." "What did you find to be your biggest problem in this show?" "Pulling all the technical aspects together into a smooth unit. All the technical people have done a fine job, but it was a problem getting all the elements together." "What about your biggest problem right now?" "Timing." "Explain, please." "That is the subconscious pacing that makes the show run smoothly, evenly, and makes it take on an overall rhythm. It makes the audience more com fortable subconsciously." "Would you care to comment on the elaborate sets?" "They are probably the most elaborate and lavish that have ever been used here. The basic color scheme will be gold, blue, lavender and white." "Costumes?" "120 were ordered. Steve Gui- mond and Rosemary Jamerson are quite busy with keeping them clean and straight. They are designed after the ones that were used in the motion picture version of the play." "What about your cast in gen eral?" "The play has fallen into place superbly. I am very pleased with the cast, and feel very lucky to have such a good, capable cast." "What is the lighting scheme?" "Pink and blue. Strangely e- nough, the lighting is somewhat simpler than it was for GYPSY." "What about the large chorus numbers? The stage is pretty small." "Yes, that did cause some problems, but considering the size of the stage the large production numbers have worked out fine." "What is the size of the cast, incidentally?" "There are 40 members in the cast, and an overall total of 100 people involved with the show." "At this point, are you pleased with the results?" "Yes, definitely so. We could open this show tonight, if it were necessary. This is good in that it gives us the extra days for fine polishing. I am very pleased with the show." "If you had it to do over a- gain, would you still select MY FAIR LADY?" "Yes, in a minute." The stage manager then called for places, and rehearsals were once again under way. There are still seats available, we found out, for the Saturday and Sunday matinees. It was also pointed out by the assistant house manager, Wayne Glazener, Pickering and Higgins turn leading ladies. on the charm for their three that there are always some "No- Shows" for each performance, so even if you don't have a ticket come to the theatre anyway. A place will be found for you. As we walked out the door, we took a glance around the theatre. An almost undefinable energy and force seeemd to be driving everyone to do their best. They are sweating blood and tears to present a professional show. From what we have seen, there is no doubt in my mind that that is just what you will see next week at the LTC. A real professional show. Sandy Norris and Jerry Conner are flanked by members of the chorus in one of the lightful scenes of the musical where the Cockney flavor comes through with a flourish. ost de- Pedestrians Can Become Statistics You're not immune to traffic accidents even when you're walking. Nine thousand pedestrians were killed and nearly 275,000 were injured last year in the United States, according to an authoritative report by The Travelers Insurance Companies. The report is based on statistics from state motor vehicle departments. Those who cross between intersections run the biggest risk of getting hurt. More than 40 per cent of the fatal accidents and nearly 32 per cent of all non-fatal mishaps involving pedestrians occurred between intersections. Those who enjoy hiking in the country also should beware. One thousand four hundred pedestrians were killed in 1965 while walking along rural roads; nearly 21,000 more were injured on country byways. Other leading factors involving pedestrian death and injury included crossing an intersection against the traffic signal and stepping from behind a parked vehicle.
