Chapter on production "Salome'^
tthich was • performed on i May 8th,
alons with "Rikolliset", as the competition
play to close. off the series
of events presented this Spring by
the "Kakarat" and the r i v a l " U r a n -
uurtajat." If you Easterners think
you po at things in a big scale, you
•Rould have another think coming had
you \vitnessed "Salome" along with
the preparations which went into its
making. Like HoUywood would
phrase it: this was the most lavish,
colourful play of the season, with a
east of thousands i^Well, maybe about
t\venty-five or thirty i f y o u want the
cxact figures) plus set decorations
nevcr before seen by any audience!
Problem number one faced by the
producers Avas finding a suitable per-former
to play the part of Salome.
No'.v, dear readers; you are a l i grqwn-up
and well-read people so I need not
mcnlion in detail the, ah . . . character
of Salome. Let us just say she re-quires
many of the more artistic
qualities present in women as a
whole, but seldom to be found at the
same time in one female. T h e young
lady chosen for the role succeeded
admirably' well in portraying the ob-noxious
traits which have made the
name of Salome a by-word i n most
quarters for centuries; Take the scene
where she has commanded the pror
phet to be brought out from the
cistern SO she can see what the old
desert rat looks like. For some un-fathomable
reason she is smitten by
nis looks and does not hesitate to say
so. m SO many wordS; but the duU
elot spurns her advances. In^ the
midst of thLs dialogue one of the les-ser
members of the party proceeds to
dispatch himself from the. earthly
\vorld and drops his carcass almost
on top of Salome. But this deter-mined
girl doesn't so much as bät an
eyelash moreover announces her
intention to "Kiss thy mouth"; ro-f
ernng of course to the prophet. This
really frightens the object of enamour
Whö clambers back into his well. out
of ,whexice he should nevcr have comc
i n the first place;
The set decoration was a mastcr-piece
in itself, what with towerlng
columns, flickering torcheis (some-thing
the fire department Inspector
was never told about), stone wälls,
grass lawns, and moonbeams beamihg
around here and there. Not large as
ifar as size was concemed, but on the
impact it had on the. audience, was
the head of the prophet which was
broUght out after he had beeri given
a close shave around the shoulder
blades. Even those who created the
prop in question were slightly uneasy
.until the curtain went down and the
prophet emerged from his cistern still
attached to his own head; so realistic
was the synthetic twin. It should be
told here that i n truth the plaster of
paris creation was not one hundred
percent paint and horsehair. For in
the process of manufacture most of
the eyebrows and eyelashes from the
modelcame off'into the original mold,
a factor the brainwaves working on it
had not taken into consideration. So
proud are the creators of their work
that they are seriously entertaifung
thoughts of presenting their master-piece
"for dlsplay to the Vancouver
Art Gallery.
Take ali the foregoing and mix it
with a bevy of eye-catching slave
girls. soldiers, Cappadocieans. Syrians,
Jews. and so forth, and you can ima-gine
why I call it going on a big scale.
Of course, I. rather suspect that the
stage would look bare without a
goodly supply of actors and actresses
traipsing about. Somewhere during
the process of constructlon of the
Clinton Hall, the architects must have
got their blue prints fouled up because
the stage is the size of what we call
"country halls' back in Ontario. A
troop of moimted cav^Jry could be
concealed with;. ease ' behlnd the
scenery i n one of the comers; and I
can readily believe the tale told
around here about the time someone
rowed a boat acrossthe stage on rea!
water in a scene from one of yester-year's
plays!

BYBOB WARD
One of the rummicst Itoms to hlt
our eyes f or a long time was a recent
news Story about a tcam of sclentlats
who liave come iip wlth the dlscovery
that the: better brand of llquor one
drinks the less likcly oncis to have a
hang-over.
The team of scientlsts has been
wöking on this project for quite some
time and from the report it would
really seem they'/d thrown themselvcs
right into the «pirit of the; matter.
The way the noble cxpcrlment has
been carried out has been by plying
rats wlth ali varietles and gradcs of
alcolMllc beverage and then tcstlng
them for "morning after" cffects.
And thus it was that tliese scientlsts
arrived at the opinion that the
better the llquor the less you'll feel
the next momlng that the nlght bcr
fore you just shoulda otood In bod.
Our own oplnoln, for what lt's worth
is that the wholc experlment wa5 n
frightful waste of llquor.
iMatter of fact we know of several
cronles who deem that. the vhole
matter should have been reported to
the Society (for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Anlmals. Not. mlnd you.
that they were agalnst the experlment
as 6uch. But the way they ivlcwed
thev matter was that even, now gct
this. even if they had to sacrlflce
themselveq, It wouId have been better
than getting those poor llttle rats

Magaiillnln toimittaja Frank Rasky

canadalalsten "llppu-patriwttlsuu^

CBC: n salrastanran alcmmusskomp-leksia

Hän myöntää, että vain muutamat 11-

Toimittaja Raskyn olisi pitänyt
kuitenkin Uctää; että canadalalsten

Thosp few terse ivords close the
Chapter on production "Salome'^
tthich was • performed on i May 8th,
alons with "Rikolliset", as the competition
play to close. off the series
of events presented this Spring by
the "Kakarat" and the r i v a l " U r a n -
uurtajat." If you Easterners think
you po at things in a big scale, you
•Rould have another think coming had
you \vitnessed "Salome" along with
the preparations which went into its
making. Like HoUywood would
phrase it: this was the most lavish,
colourful play of the season, with a
east of thousands i^Well, maybe about
t\venty-five or thirty i f y o u want the
cxact figures) plus set decorations
nevcr before seen by any audience!
Problem number one faced by the
producers Avas finding a suitable per-former
to play the part of Salome.
No'.v, dear readers; you are a l i grqwn-up
and well-read people so I need not
mcnlion in detail the, ah . . . character
of Salome. Let us just say she re-quires
many of the more artistic
qualities present in women as a
whole, but seldom to be found at the
same time in one female. T h e young
lady chosen for the role succeeded
admirably' well in portraying the ob-noxious
traits which have made the
name of Salome a by-word i n most
quarters for centuries; Take the scene
where she has commanded the pror
phet to be brought out from the
cistern SO she can see what the old
desert rat looks like. For some un-fathomable
reason she is smitten by
nis looks and does not hesitate to say
so. m SO many wordS; but the duU
elot spurns her advances. In^ the
midst of thLs dialogue one of the les-ser
members of the party proceeds to
dispatch himself from the. earthly
\vorld and drops his carcass almost
on top of Salome. But this deter-mined
girl doesn't so much as bät an
eyelash moreover announces her
intention to "Kiss thy mouth"; ro-f
ernng of course to the prophet. This
really frightens the object of enamour
Whö clambers back into his well. out
of ,whexice he should nevcr have comc
i n the first place;
The set decoration was a mastcr-piece
in itself, what with towerlng
columns, flickering torcheis (some-thing
the fire department Inspector
was never told about), stone wälls,
grass lawns, and moonbeams beamihg
around here and there. Not large as
ifar as size was concemed, but on the
impact it had on the. audience, was
the head of the prophet which was
broUght out after he had beeri given
a close shave around the shoulder
blades. Even those who created the
prop in question were slightly uneasy
.until the curtain went down and the
prophet emerged from his cistern still
attached to his own head; so realistic
was the synthetic twin. It should be
told here that i n truth the plaster of
paris creation was not one hundred
percent paint and horsehair. For in
the process of manufacture most of
the eyebrows and eyelashes from the
modelcame off'into the original mold,
a factor the brainwaves working on it
had not taken into consideration. So
proud are the creators of their work
that they are seriously entertaifung
thoughts of presenting their master-piece
"for dlsplay to the Vancouver
Art Gallery.
Take ali the foregoing and mix it
with a bevy of eye-catching slave
girls. soldiers, Cappadocieans. Syrians,
Jews. and so forth, and you can ima-gine
why I call it going on a big scale.
Of course, I. rather suspect that the
stage would look bare without a
goodly supply of actors and actresses
traipsing about. Somewhere during
the process of constructlon of the
Clinton Hall, the architects must have
got their blue prints fouled up because
the stage is the size of what we call
"country halls' back in Ontario. A
troop of moimted cav^Jry could be
concealed with;. ease ' behlnd the
scenery i n one of the comers; and I
can readily believe the tale told
around here about the time someone
rowed a boat acrossthe stage on rea!
water in a scene from one of yester-year's
plays!

One of the rummicst Itoms to hlt
our eyes f or a long time was a recent
news Story about a tcam of sclentlats
who liave come iip wlth the dlscovery
that the: better brand of llquor one
drinks the less likcly oncis to have a
hang-over.
The team of scientlsts has been
wöking on this project for quite some
time and from the report it would
really seem they'/d thrown themselvcs
right into the «pirit of the; matter.
The way the noble cxpcrlment has
been carried out has been by plying
rats wlth ali varietles and gradcs of
alcolMllc beverage and then tcstlng
them for "morning after" cffects.
And thus it was that tliese scientlsts
arrived at the opinion that the
better the llquor the less you'll feel
the next momlng that the nlght bcr
fore you just shoulda otood In bod.
Our own oplnoln, for what lt's worth
is that the wholc experlment wa5 n
frightful waste of llquor.
iMatter of fact we know of several
cronles who deem that. the vhole
matter should have been reported to
the Society (for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Anlmals. Not. mlnd you.
that they were agalnst the experlment
as 6uch. But the way they ivlcwed
thev matter was that even, now gct
this. even if they had to sacrlflce
themselveq, It wouId have been better
than getting those poor llttle rats
