APERS Alter it little cahle trouhle during whith Russ ,lohannsen played the accordian, the second half of Mflhannel 'SSH followed. Private Yisionf' directed hy Harriet Burton, was another outstanding act. The scene was an army harraclc, filled with youthful soldiers dreaming of gals and dancing. The act featured two soloists, Helen Barhas singing 'Come On, Get Happy' and 'loan Rippers Uliallin' the jack. The comhination of singing, dancing, and the touch of humor added hy Boh Bulmer and Gerald McKnight made a top-notch act. Other acts featured were those of Dardee Howlett, Dorothy Radin, Conrad Larsen, ,Iudy Skytta, and Georgene Treadwell, Switching to native dances, Carol Dent and her Indians presented 'TTY Tepeef' an act done partly in hlack light with glowing tomahawlcs and shields. Arlene Flynn's Egyptians in i'Pyramid Pastimeu had their steps down pat and added a new native idea. The unusual arrangement included the very rhythmic use of the hands in portraying the atmosphere needed. The concluding acts of 'iflhannel 'SSH were two Hawaiian dances, starring directors Mary Lynn McLean and Carrol Sutton. Hawaiian music hy Nancy Pat Beatty, soloist, and Bill Pennington, ukelele strummer, and the colorful costumes comhined with the two heautifully done dances to make a suitahle and climactic ending for the show. At the finale, representatives ofthe stafT and memhers from each act were presented to take their hows. Saturday night two dozen red roses were presented to Mrs. Duncan as a token of appreciation from everyone connected with Kapers. 4? l .R A sf . ,,

Duncan Helen Barbas Bill Kinzel Marilyn lsenhath Bill Hartley Mary Lou Swanagon Pele Shoudy Katie Babunes Jenny Anne Church Sally Wood D Varied, colorful, and pleasingly different from previous years was the description given this year's production of Kapers, Channel '53, presented in the Queen Anne auditorium March 6 and 7. Adding special interest were the novel TV programs, edited by artist Sally Wood. The TV production included the combined efforts of Helen Barbas and Bill Kinzel, Senior directors, Marilyn Isenhath and Bill Hartley, Junior directors, Mrs, B. Duncan, faculty director, Mrs. Edward Ottum, organist, and a staff and cast of over 300 people. From commercials to programs, the show carried out its television theme to success. TV cameras, made by Ernest Jenner, Ken Tuttle, and Leroy Calbom, were stationed on either side of the auditorium to aid the broadcast of Channel '53. The twelve acts moved along quite smoothly, there were fewer tap acts than in previous years and the result was a more varied and balanced program. Among the most original talent offered was a Scottish sword dance by Barbara Allen, with Tom Allen accompanying on the bagpipes. The very effective lighting also contributed to the success of the show. The two most stunning dance arrangements were Marilyn Woodward's Waltz Time and Elizabeth Strandberg, jerry Lonn, and Janet McClane's dance school commercial. Both featured beautiful dresses and dreamy waltz steps. The commercials, given in true TV style between each act, ogered those behind the scenes a chance to move scenery and move the show along at a seemingly faster rate. Rating tops among the commercials were Chorophyll Highlights and Guillotine Razor Blades, which were quite cleverly done. Glynn Prit- chard's unassuming air and nonchalance gave punch to the ordinary dialogue. Also a hit was the Goon Dance, amusingly done by Carol Oppie and Marilyn lsenhath. ex -x 1 algo One of the top acts in the dramatic line was the Klondike Mystery Theatre, directed by Doug Barnard and Sallie Wood. It consisted of a good reading of The Shooting of Dan McGrew, done by Bill Hartley, while the members of the act pantomimed a typical gold rush saloon scene including I bearded miners, a roller piano, a poker game, and a line of can-can girls. X X As always, the program included several dance acts.
