  • ,TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1976 Young lovers in Our Town, Mike Genebach and Mary Buker (Photo by Will Mclntyre.). THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 'Stolen Prince' to show A Children's Theatre production of "The Stolen Prince" will be presented Feb. 28 at 10 am in the Little Theatre. The performance will be free to the public. The play, by Dan Totheroh, tells the story of a Chinese prince who is kidnapped from the palace, raised by an old couple who don't know his true identity, and eventually discovered and restored to the throne. The WCU production is directed by Steve Fairbanks. Susan Conley is assistant director, and Jessica Phelps is in charge of properties. Cast members include Randall Willis, Joe Hughey, Tom Caudle, Mike Gundy, Sheila Radford, Sam Gray, Diana Marshall, Ken Stikeleather, Beth Thomas, and Armando Erba. (Our Town' sells out; Fri., Sat., last available by Lewis James Don't forget to bring your handkerchiefs to the University Player's Production of OUR TOWN this week. Thorton Wilder's play about life in a small New Hampshire town around the turn of the century is one of the finest plays on the Little Theater stage this season. Directed by Robert Funk, the life and death of the people of Grover's Corners unfolds with all the feeling of a new day. The play is well staged and a joy to watch. Richard Beam's portrayal of the stage manager is well executed and his maturity clearly sets him apart from the rest of the cast. His use of variety keeps the audience's attention through seemingly endless monologues. Tyson Stephenson's (Mr. Webb) and Mike Gundy's (Doc Gibbs) characterizations are as natural as Dannon Yogurt and you aimost forget they're acting. Mary Buker and Mike Genebach are the two lovers who's romance will warm your heart in Act 11 and bring you to tears in Act 111. Carol Schafer, Peggy McLaney, Pam Cook, Randal Willis, Sheila Radford, Stanley Pode, Ken Beck, Johnny Ray, and Jeff Clark also do good jobs making this an outstanding production. Lighting by Delbert Hall and sound by Cathy Dixon add greatly to the mood of the play and contribute little touches which are "icing to the cake." Although sections of the play drag a bit, the play flows fairly regularly. All in all, Our Town is not perfect, but it is a play well worth $.75. The play is sold out through Thursday, so call early if you want to get a seat. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. For reservations call 293-7491. Page 5 Nixon in China: Better red than dead (Editor's note: The following report was filed with our office by our China Correspondent. Although we have been unable to verify all aspects of the report, we felt that its newsworthiness merited its immediate publication.) by Won Lung Haut PEKING Richard Nixon emerged today from the Forbidden Palace waving signs of victory to the impassioned Chinese multitudes thronged about him. After an all night conference with the aging Chinese leader, Mao Tse-tung, it was announced that Nixon has been appointed to fill the position just recently vacated by the late Chou en-lai. The announcement ended speculation in the United States about the purpose and timing of the Nixon visit. The background for this story is indeed interesting. In 1973 Richard Nixon, then President of the United States, made a historic visit to the People's Republic of China. During this trip Nixon and Chairman Mao became close friends and as a result opened China to the West. What was unknown until today was that while in China, Nixon underwent a brainwashing ordeal similar to the one fictionalized in the American movie,The Manchurian Candidate. Following the "rethink" period, Nixon returned to the United States and began to implement Chinese directives, orders transmitted to him by the Chinese' number one agent, the Reverend Billy ("William") Graham. (Readers will remember Mr. Graham's numerous trips to the Orient on various Crusades: an excellent cover.) With instructions to wreck the American political and governmental processes, Nixon plunged headlong into what later became Watergate. Having sufficently carried out his mission, complete with installing his hand picked successor, Gerald Ford, Nixon retired to California and began operating a Chinese carry-out resturant, "The Queen of Diamonds." It should be mentioned at this point that Gerald Ford characteristically was completely in the dark about the entire matter. His selection as successor was Peking's settlement with the Cuban wing of the party, their dark horse choice ever since his performance on the Warren Commission. This week, all of this became common knowledge. A Chinese jet landed in California, and picked up the Nixons along with twelve friends (rumored to be among the twelve was John Mitchell, John Erlichman, Bob Halderman, and Spiro Agnew). Nixon the new Anti-Christ, and his twelve disciples were off to China. At this time it is not clear what these men accompanying Nixon will do in China. Rumors abounded as Agnew boarded the plane carrying cases of Coors beer and unfinished manuscripts. Whatever the future holds for Nixon, it is clear that once again he has shown a political longevity few can equal. It is significant that Nixon pulled this latest coup off without a hint of suggestion beforehand. Indeed, his is a remarkable political saga. Just before filing this report I stopped a small yellow man in the street to ask his feelings. Once I bought a radio off him, and took his picture, he told me that China was again showing the world its sense of Confucian obligation. After all, didn't the United States take in thousands of those Vietnamese devils? The least China could do was take in one. As a postscript to this report: Just as this paper was going to press we learned that Nixon and Mao had already fallen into disagreement over where to fit Dr. Kissinger in. Mao would of course like to leave him in Washington where he is doing the most for the party. Nixon instead wanted him to rule Taiwan. PI0KJNS *?- ■^)<<*>1fc£&W>&7mz'C&
