Stories set in the South—no matter how serious the theme—seldom take place j.p Allen without humor. The central episode of To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson’s trial, is anguishing. No one who read the novel, saw the film, or experiences the play can Atlanto fail to be enraged at the injustice of the Women's and children's lashions, verdict rendered against Tom Robinson cosmetics and gifts. and its tragic aftermath. And yet, what lingers with us after our anger has subsided is not that biting sense of man’s inhumanity to man, but the simple comic spirit of innocence which rises up and promises to renew the battle against prejudice, intolerance, and cruelty. It is not the chill of the sound of GUILTY! echoing through the Maycomb County Courthouse that we carry away from To Kill a Mockingbird, but an altogether different kind of chill that we feel when Scout Finch walks across her front porch to the shy figure huddled in the night shadows and says, “Hey, Boo.” So that’s a sampling of the season ahead. But it is only a sampling. This year our season is extended to seven plays, each one of which we think offers the finest in professional theatre. It is not too late to take advantage of our subscription rate saving and be sure of a seat for every play. If you bought a single ticket for Scapino!you can easily convert it to a season subscription and enjoy all seven great plays for the price of six. Just take your ticket stub to the box office during intermission, or save it and call 892-2414 tomorrow and say you have a single ticket ■■ to Scapino! and would like to convert it to the subscription package.

Introducing...... RUSS POTTER Russ Potter, of Dutch ancestry, was born in Battle Creek, Michigan. He attended Indiana University as a scholarship student, majoring in journalism and speech. Following his studies at the Chicago Art Institute, he joined NBC Radio as an announcer and script writer. Later, he was engaged by the famed Pageant of the Masters, presented at the annual Laguna Beach, California Festival of Arts, as script writer and narrator, a post he held until 1964. His voice was heard for many years on the Walt Disney LP albums, “Great Composers.” In 1956, he entered the travel-film lecture field with the first comprehensive film on the Soviet Union, followed by distinguished films on INDIA, BELGIUM, HIGH HIMALAYA, GERMANY, EAST AFRICA, and THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS. Russ Potter's experiences in various parts of the world, have been matched by few in the film-lecture field. He has breakfasted with the late Prime Minister Nehru of India, and spent an unprecendented day with the exiled Sun God of Tibet, the Dalai Lama. Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of The Netherlands invited him to present his EAST AFRICA film for the Royal Family in the intimacy of the Dutch Palace. This made him the first travelfilm lecturer to give a Royal Command Performance.

You’ll find it in three manuals that start at under $200 with the SL-1500. Or for a little more money you can get a lot more convenience with our newest turntable, the semi-automatic SL-1400. The world's first turntable with a one-chip 321 element IC. That gets the platter to exact speed in only 1/3 of a revolution. There is also the fully automatic single disc SL-1300. And the world's first direct-drive changer, the SL-1350. But there's a lot more to Technics direct drive than just more kinds of turntables. There’s also more precision, better performance and greater reliability. Because in our direct-drive system the platter is an extension of the motor shaft. That means there aren’t any belts, gears or idlers to produce variations in speed. And that means all our turntables have less than 1200 0.03% wow and flutter (WRMS), (0.04% for the SL-1350). You'll also find an electronically Direct Drive controlled DC motor that spins at exactly SL- System 331/a or 45 RPM. Regardless of fluctuations 1350 in AC line voltage or frequency. What’s more, unlike high-speed, rumble-producing motors, our motor introduces so little vibration into the system that any rumble remains inaudible (—70 dB DIN B). And it doesn’t matter which Technics turntable you choose. Because they all have the extras you need. Like variable pitch controls. A built-in stroboscope. Viscous-damped cueing. Feedback-insulated legs. As well as a dust cover and integral base. So if you want a turntable good enough for professionals, get the turntables radio stations use and discos abuse.
