SITUATION: DESPERATE LAZY MAY by K11aana Bell The Department of Drama and Theatre takes pleasure in announcing forthcoming show· ings of a Jine Jilm translation of one of August Strindberg's most famous plays, .MiSJ Julie, SHELMEY, the lazy man . • MASON ALTIERY Earlier versions were made in Stockholm (1912), Berlin (1921}, and Buenos Aires (1947), MIKE, the barlender THOMAS MUJ but the present Swedish version, winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in CEDRJC, a gbos1 SHELDON BREN MEDIUM LOIS TOYAMA 1951, surpasses them all.

Directed by LuCIE BENTLEY Miss Julie is the tale of a passionate, neurotic young noblewoman, particularly in her relations with an aggressively masculine young servant on her father's estate. While the kind WHERE THE LOVE TREE GROWS by Dixon /nee of 19th century baronial splendor in which the Jilm is set no longer exists, the involvements, emotions, and behavior of Miss Julie and her fellows are as meaningful today as they were SINGER ALEXANDF.R BELL fifty years ago-and much more widely understood. The result is a Jilm which few lovers NARRATOR SHELDON BREN JESSIE CAIN JuANITA McANNALY of adult fare will want to miss.

The MATT PAT GARVEY program will play from November 11 to 14 (Wednesday through Saturday) at 6:45 and Scene: A hill overlooking a small Tennessee valley 8:45 each evening. If attendance justifies continuance, MiSJ Julie will also play during part town. A spring evening. of the following week.
