Aggie Players To Marlowe’s ‘Doctor

The Aggie Players, in coopera­tion with the Shakespeare com­memoration, will present Christo­pher Marlowe’s “Dr. Faustus” Ap­ril 13-18 in Guion Hall. The play will be presented at 8 p.m. daily.

Marlowe, who was born the same year as Shakespeare (1964), is ranked second only to the mas­ter himself by experts on the Shakespearean era.

MARLOWE PRODUCED what most critics call his greatest work and is often mentioned as being the equal of Shakespeare’s “Mac­beth,” “Hamlet” and “Othello.”

“Dr. Faustus” is set in Medieval Germany and is the tragic story of a man who is gifted with great intellect and learning, yet strives to seek powers forbidden to man. Faustus calls on the power of “ne­cromancy,” a form of witchcraft, to summon Mephistophilis, a devil from hell.

Faustus, who seeks material riches, sensual pleasures and ab­solute powers, explains to Mephis­tophilis that in return for all these things, he will sacrifice his soul at the end of 24 years.

English Profs Schedule Talks On 2 Plays By Shakespeare

Lectures by A&M University English professors are scheduled Tuesday and Friday as features of the second week of the Shake­speare Commemoration.

Dr. Stewart Morgan, professor of English, will speak Tuesday on “The Themes of ‘King Lear.’ ”

ON FRIDAY Dr. John Paul Ab­bott, distinguished professor of English, will discuss “The Mingled Fortunes of Antony and Cleo­patra.”

Both lectures are scheduled at 4 p.m. in Room 3 B-C of the Me­morial Student Center.

Performances of “Dr. Faustus” are scheduled at 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday in Guion Hall.

“Each age since Shakespeare has had its own interpretations of ‘King Lear,’ and some of the pe­riods have had their own adapta­tions,” Dr. Morgan said.

“MY LECTURE will look at some of these interpretations and try to find one that is in harmony with thinking in the 1960s,” he continued.

Abbott proposes to “undertake a reexamination of Shakespeare’s use of the story as he found it in Sir Thomas North’s translations

of Plutarch’s ‘Lives.’ ”“My analysis,” Abbott said, “un­

covers a hitherto neglected element in the story which throws light on the structure of the play and which should be taken into account in any critical evaluation of the tragedy.”

DURING THIS TIME, Faustus is constantly reminded by his con­science (Good Angel) of his wrong doings. The good doctor is unable to repent, and after 24 years have passed, he is escorted by two gorgeous devils to eternal hell and damnation.

“Dr. Faustus,” which director Vic Eiening calls the feature pro­duction of the year, will combine the largest Aggie Player cast of the season with a zany bit of cos­tuming.

BOB HIPP, an old favorite as leading man, will play the part of Dr. Faustus. The rest of the cast, in order of appearance will be Rhea Smith for the chorus; Kipp Blair as Wagner; Charles Kuyken- dahl as Valdes; Terry Mayfield as Cornelius; Carl Vanderhider as the first scholar; George Lindsey as the second scholar; George Long as Mephistophilis; Jack Brooks as the clown; Carol Schultz and Doris Whitelock as the two devils; Sel­ma Clack as the good angel; Lee Hance as the evil angel; Terry Mayfield as Lucifer; Paul Bleau as Belzebub; Sally Wynn as Pride; Richard Jenkins as Covetiousness; Jack Brooks as Wrath; Judith No­bles as Envy; Clifford Fry as Gluttony, and Selma Clack as Sloth.

Also on the cast are Don Carter as Lechery; John Wynn, J i m Kneisler and Don Carter as the three friars; Lee Hance as Robin, Clifford Fry as Ralph; Paul Bleau as Vitner; Terry Mayfield as the Emperor of Germany; John Wynn as the knight; Jack Brooks as Alexander; Sally Wynn as Para­mour; Paul Bleau as Horse Cours-

Johnson Gets 15 Day Delay On Rail Strike

WASHINGTON hP) — President Johnson requested Thursday night a 20-day postponement in the na­tional rail work stoppage sched­uled for 12:01 a.m. Friday but re­ceived only a 15-day delay.

The news came in a bizarre fashion when a television techni­cian mounted a prompting device atop a waiting camera in a White House office.

ACROSS A SCREEN on this piece of equipment was written the start of Johnson’s statement in large letters. In mounting the de­vice on the camera, the technician turned it so newsmen waiting to hear the President, could read it even before Johnson entered the

Negotiators for more than 200 railroads and five operating un­ions met briefly with Johnson at the White House a little after 6 p.m. EST to hear his appeal for a 20-day delay and a request that they give him their decision by 8 o’clock.

Johnson made the announcement after a four-hour meeting with representatives of both sides. He said “railroad service will con­tinue,” and that negotiations will resume at 10 a.m. Friday in the White House.

Wayne Johnston, president of the Illinois Central Railroad, said on behalf of management: “We pledge ourselves to continue our efforts to reach a fair settlement in the national interest.”

Roy Davidson, grand chief en­gineer of the Brotherhood of Lo­comotive Engineers, AFL-CIO, said telegrams were being sent to mem­bers of all unions to suspend the strike against the Illinois Central, which precipitated the national crisis Wednesday.
