Dear Friend of Starlight Musicals:

One of the most pleasant things about Indianapolis in summer has been STARLIGHT MUSI­ CALS in the Butler Bowl.

But I'm sure you realize that these delightful evenings of popular musical entertainment don't just happen. Starlight Musicals is a non-profit enterprise.

If you've ever had anything to do with a non-profit project, you know that a lot of people put in a lot of their time without pay while others help back it up with their pocketbooks.

As a matter of fact, Starlight Musicals' guarantors dipped into their pocketbooks to make up a $30,000 deficit, last year. While nobody got hurt in so doing, operating "in the red" cannot go on.

What Starlight Musicals needs above all else is more people in attendance at each performance.

We are sure that in and around Indianapolis there are enough folks who enjoy good musical entertainment to assure Starlight Musical's success. What we need to do is get a lot of them to attend.

That would be easy if enough people like you would "talk up" Starlight Musicals among your friends and business associates, urging them to come out here to see and hear these delightful shows.

We feel sure that once you folks start really boosting Starlight Musicals, the word will spread and we will begin packing 'em in, every night.

Remember, the best advertisement in the world is printed on the wagging tongue of a happy, satisfied customer.

Join the "tongue waggers" and help make Starlight Musicals a continuing source of summer­ time pleasure for yourself, your family and your friends — and for the community.

Cordially,

NOBLE L. BIDDINGER President, Starlight Musicals, Inc.

It gives us great pleasure to draw your attention to the excellent productions the Avondale Playhouse offers you. Their complete schedule can be seen on page 28. NOBLE L. BIDDINGER

John C. Sacco, musical director, returns for his sixth season at Starlight. Wearing a duo hat since January of this year, Mr. Sacco has been appointed executive director for the Starlight Musicals. In this capacity he is in charge of special promotions and women volunteer workers to whom Starlight owes so much of its success.

A composer of note, Mr. Sacco's works have been recorded and programmed by leading concert artists the world over. A member of American Society of Composers, Authors and Pub­ lishers and a former member of the editorial staff of G. Schirmer, his latest publications include choral arrangements of the "Fleder­ maus" and "Merry Widow."

Ronald Field is back for his third successful season as chore­ ographer for Starlight Musicals. His background as a performer, as he celebrates his 10th anniversary in show business, includes 6 Broadway and over 300 television shows. After leaving Indianapolis last summer, he immediately went in to the Latin Quarter in New York as lead dancer for 6 months. He followed this up by choreographing his own concert. April found him in Paris where he called upon to stage a big jazz ballet for the famous Casino de Paris. This coming October, Mr. Field's name will go up in lights on Broadway as the director and choreographer for the new revue at the Latin Quarter.

Returning for his sixth consecutive season, is our talented young director, Robert Bruce Holley, under whose personal super­ vision our lavish productions are staged. He brings to this theatre an unusually varied theatrical background. He is an actor of great versatility, as well as being a fine director. As a producer, his most recent production, "Beautiful Dreamer," received most laudable attention from critics in New York this season. Television has also made use of his talents as has the educational world. He has been a member of the faculties of Marlboro (Vt.) College, and the Womans' College of the University of North Carolina, where he was artist-in-residence. Mr. Holley received his theatrical baptism as a child star billed as "Baby Bobbie Bruce" on the "Let's Pre­ tend" radio show. His "Show Business Godmother" is the beloved comedienne, ZaSu Pitts.

ROBERT BRUCE HOLLEY

Ed Gallagher, scene designer in his third year for Starlight, has designed over 150 productions of , musicals and plays. During the fall and winter months he is technical director and scene designer for the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre of Indianapolis.

Formerly with the Seattle Grand Company, Mr. Gallagher also spent 10 seasons at the Chautauqua (New York) Opera Association. On the board of directors of the National Opera Association, he has served on the faculties of Indiana University and Stephens College. He designed the annual "Parsifal" festival on the Bloomington campus.

Jeff Longe is back for his third season as Production Stage Manager for Starlight. This past winter he worked on Casting for Royal Poinciana Playhouse in Palm Beach, Florida and stage managed Gershwin's "Oh Kay" for them. Jeff has worked in Stock from Maine to Florida with such stars as Arlene Francis, Delores Del Rio and Vincent Price. He was Stage Manager for the Billie Burke show, "Lady of the House". His recent National tour was in the National company of "Auntie Mame". His television credits include the Bob Hope Show, Omnibus and the Dollar a Second Show. Mr. Longe hopes to produce in New York some day and is looking at scripts and chorus girls with that in mind.

JEFF LONGE

New to the production staff of Starlight Musicals is this season's choral director, Gordon O. Brown.

Mr. Brown, whose home is Houston, Texas, is at present a graduate assistant at the Indiana University School of Music where he is working on a Doctorate. Before going to Indiana, he was director of choral music at the Kinkaid Prep school in Houston. For the past three summers he has been the assistant conducter of the Society of Houston.

Mr. Brown attended S.M.TJ. in Dallas and took his Bachelor and Master degrees at the University of Houston.

"THE WIZARD OF 01"

A fairybook tale is told in fairybook style, with witches, goblins, pixies and other wonderous things drawn in the brightest colors and set cavorting to a merry little score.

The production is a delightful piece of wonder-working, which has the youngsters' eyes shining and brings a quietly amused gleam to the wiser ones of the oldsters.

Seldom has anything quite so fantastic succeeded half so well. L. Frank Baum's attempt at children's stories resulted in the sale of a million copies of the "" series during 1900.

The storybook characters of 's traveling compan­ ions: the , who is minus a brain; the roaring Lion, who has no courage; and the in search of a heart, enable the foursome to "Follow The " to the kingdom of Oz, whose wonderous magic turns to hoax.

Produced in several languages, "The " has been revived three times in Filmdom and enacted countless times in music theatre.

Margaret Hamilton () is recreating one of the most famous roles in the history of show business which she enacted in MGM's film version and has played numerous times since 1989. Originally from Cleveland, Miss Hamilton went to New York in 1932 where she stole the show in "Another Language" by eating grapes throughout the production. For fifteen years she has made 75 Hollywood movies and finally returned to the legitimate theatre. Miss Hamilton has been featured in the Broadway shows: "Fancy Meeting You Again," "The Dark Tower," "The Farmer Takes A Wife," "Out­ rageous Fortune" and "Goldilocks." Other roles she is noted for are Parthy Ann in "Showboat," and Aunt Eller in "Oklahoma!" Having played the Wicked Witch in Fort Worth and at Starlight, Miss Hamilton will continue the role this summer through the Eastern stock circuit.

Will B. Able (Scarecrow) is one of musical comedy's most impressive and diverse performers. His dancing roles have run the gamut from MARGARET HAMILTON tap, Spanish, Oriental, mod­ ern, Jazz, acrobatic, and ballet, too, in his own words, "the eccentric." Playing famous Ray Bolger roles is getting to be a habit for Mr. Able. His role in "Where's Charley?" and his role in "Rosalie" were both performed by Bolger. Mr. Able has played a featured role in the Broadway presentation of "Plain and Fancy," and has starred in such hits as "Oklahoma," "Hit the Deck," "Red Mill," and "Babes in Toyland." He has delighted supper club and hotel audiences throughout the country with his acting, sing­ ing and dancing antics. You've probably seen him on one of the nation's top television shows, including Sgt. Bilko, Super Circus, Omnibus, Sus­ pense, Paul Whiteman, and, nat­ urally Arthur Murray. Mr. Able will have a major role in St. Louis's August production of "Cinderella."

WILL B. ABLE

Craig Timberlake (Tin Woodman) is enjoying another successful season with Starlight's resident company. An Indianapolis critic ob­ served Mr. Timberlake "Among the finest of musical comedy performers." Audiences applauded particularly his characterizations of the British Ambassador in "King and I," the stuffy British papa in "Boy Friend" and the nutty Inspector Barnes in "Bells Are Ringing." During the past season Timberlake has added new credits to an already impres­ sive list, notably in the field of opera and . In October, at the personal invitation of the Mexican composer, Carlos Chavez, he made his debut at the National Opera in Mexico City, singing the lead­ ing bass role in Chavez' opera, "El Amor Propiciado." During this past spring he rejoined the Opera Company touring twenty American cities in a repertory of four American operas sponsored by the Ford Foundation. Before returning to Indianapolis, he completed a CRAIG TIMBERLAKE recording of the Bach B Minor Mass with Robert Shaw. Page twelve THE CAST

Judith McCauley (Dorothy) comes to Starlight Musicals having played the same role in Fort Worth for a successful two week stand. Miss McCauley received her bachelor of Music from Cincinnati College's Conservatory of Music and received professional coaching from Madam Cornelia Pellagrini. The young lyric soprano was a regular member of the St. Louis Municipal Opera Company during the 1960 season singing major roles in "Knights of Song" and "Kismet." She also understudied the roles of Kathy in "The Student Prince," Becky in "Tom Sawyer" and Gretchen in "The Red Mill."

Jack Goode (The Roaring JUDITH McCAULEY Lion) is a seasoned comedian of stage, screen, operetta Summer Theatres, TV and Industrial Shows. He was initiated into the ranks of Broadway Comedians when he made his debut in "Hello Paris," a fragile revue presented by the Messrs. Shuberts back in the 30's. He successfully appeared in "Princess Charming," "Face The Music," and "The Show Is On." Mr. Goode took over the role of Hines in the successful "Pajama Game" and just recently in the revival of "Oh Kay" in the comedy role originated by Victor Moore. He was one of the first comedians to appear in the new theatre of "Shows Under The Tent" or as they are often called "Music Circus." He has starred in some sixty different operetta roles across the country.

JACK GOODE

Anita Bayless () is making her first appearance at Star­ light Musicals. She is a noted Television and Theatre personality hav­ ing played with such stars as Marge Champion, Marguerite Chapman, Schultzy Davis, Frank McHugh and Joe E. Brown. In fact, Miss Bayless toured with Mr. Brown for two years in "Father of the Bride." She has appeared in a dozen movies as well as numerous commercial, in­ dustrial and educational films. Television shows to her credit include: Robert Montgomery Presents, Armstrong Circle Theatre, Studio One, Philco, Omnibus and well known soap opera videos: Love of Life, The Egg & I, and The Greatest Gift.

Ross, who serves as General Manager of the summer musical productions. Mr. Ross' name has been a standout in the entertainment field here in Indianapolis for the past nineteen years. He is general manager of the Coliseum on the State Fairgrounds, as well as manager of Theatre Productions, Inc., which is responsi­ ble for the "legit" bookings at the Murat Theatre. He is also a holder of the United Booking Office franchise. Mr. Ross came to Indianapolis, from Boston, in 1942, with a background as road manager of some of the country's leading attractions. He assumed the role of general manager of Starlight Musicals in 1946. In fifteen years Starlight Musicals has risen, under his management, to one of the top ranking (third nationally) outdoor musical theatres.

A 1954 graduate of DePauw University, Mr. Young joined Starlight's front office in 1958, after three years tour of duty in the Air Force. He was named Assistant Manager in 1959. In his third season with Starlight Musicals, Mr. Young plays an important role as liaison with the production staff, Starlight Board of Directors, guarantors and contributors, and the Indi­ anapolis Park Department. He is also Assistant Manager of the Coliseum on the State Fairgrounds. Under Mr. Ross' tutelage, Mr. Young is rapidly taking his place in the field of entertainment here in Indianapolis.

Reserved seat prices are $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00 except Friday and Saturday, at $2.00, $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50. General admission seats (not reserved), are $1.00 except Friday and Saturday at $1.50, and are on sale at the Theatron box offices only. They are not sold in advance. Box office hours at the Claypool are from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily except Sunday. Box office hours at the Theatron are from 5:00 p.m. on week days (Monday through Saturday), and from 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. Script tickets must be exchanged at the box office for general admission tickets. Script ticket holders who want reserved seats may exchange the script for regular tickets at the box offices by payment of the difference in cost of reserved seat ticket. MAIL ORDERS Mail orders will receive prompt attention, and will be filled in the order in which they are received. They must include full remittance; must specify the night, the date and the name of the show wanted. They should be addressed to the Ross and Babcock Ticket Agency, Claypool Hotel Lobby, Indianapolis 4, Indiana, and should contain a self- addressed, stamped envelope for return of the tickets. Mail orders will not be filled without full remittance. Mail orders with remittance which arrive too late for safe return of the tickets will be filled and held in the owner's name at the Theatron box office. RAIN CHECK INFORMATION 1. Official curtain time is 8:30 p.m. except Sunday at 7:30 p.m. In the event of rain, or for other reasons beyond its control, the Management is authorized by the Board of Directors to delay the curtain for a reasonable length of time, not to exceed one hour. 2. If it is still raining at 9:31 p.m., or 8:31 p.m. on Sunday, the show will be cancelled and rainchecks (which are attached to each ticket) will be honored for a subsequent performance of the current show, or the show immedi­ ately following. If there are no tickets available for the current show, or for the show immediately following, tickets will be issued for another show, as desired by the patron. 3. If, after a performance has started, rain should fall heavily enough to stop the show before one hour of performance—or one act—has been given, and if it seems unlikely that the show can continue to completion, the procedure outlined in paragraph 2 will prevail. 4. If—after rain has ceased and the show has begun—it should begin to rain again, but, in the opinion of the Management, the show might still be completed, the Management may again delay the show. The term "one hour's performance" does not mean a continuous hour.

\.,«S!*Ssi« llison ... Another Link Between Indianapolis and Outer Space

' # The technical and scientific aspects of space trips to the moon . . . and the like, seem

• pretty far removed from our pleasant, quiet existence here in Indiana.

Yet, right in the heart of Hoosierland, scientists and researchers at Allison—and else­ where—are working quietly behind closed doors, charting new paths into outer space.

In our Research and Development center, there is in operation now a laboratory model of the Stirling-cycle heat engine which may provide electrical energy for earth Satellites. A U.S. Air Force contract has been awarded for the design, fabrication and performance testing of such a satellite powerplant. Also underway are deliveries of huge rocket motor cases for first and second stages of Minuteman—the first U.S. solid fuel Intercontinental Ballistics Missile.

As the staggering challenges of the future continue to unfold, Allison—and Indiana— will continue to make contributions toward, and share in the benefits of, scientific progress as we have in the past.

A community and its industries are inseparable. As the community grows and pros­ pers, so does its industry, and vice versa. We at Allison are proud to be a part of the Hoosier community, and as we enter the decade of the "soaring sixties," we look forward to our partnership in prosperity.

Visit the Powerama-"Tol&e (tljub"to"tta hAo

Newest attraction in the Powerama—representing what Allison is and what Allison does—is the SPACE- ATORIUM. As you enter the SPACEATORIUM, the lights go out and the earth and moon mysteriously appear. From your vantage point in outer space, you see a rocket depart the earth; circle the moon and return to the earth. Requests for available dates for life. group visits should be in writing to POWERAMA, Allison Division, General Motors Corporation, Indian­ apolis 6, Indiana.
