THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS This winds up painting the backdrops. Broadway Composers' Capers was the theme of the Red and Black Revue held in the gym on No- vember ll, 1955. This show, an annual affair, is presented by the students of Ieff, with faculty members as directors. In the 1955 version, each act featured the music of one famous composer, using solos, dance groups, and choruses to tell a story. Mr. George Price was general chair- man of the show, consisting of five acts, ten specialties, and a finale. An overture by the orchestra and Miss Hil- kert's act, Sentimental.Swing, opened the show. The music in Act I was written by ln- diana's own Hoagy Carmichael. Soloists sang Georgia, Stardust, and Lazy River, ac- companied by modern dancers. Specialties were given between acts to enter- tain the audience while the stage was being set for the next scene. Some of these were a jazz band, an escape artist, and a musical read- ing. Kenny Burke was Master of Ceremonies for the specialties, while Bob Schaaf held this position for the acts. Holidays was the theme of the second act, directed by Miss Ioyce Randall. The action moved across a backdrop depicting Christmas, Independence Day, and Easter. Appropriate tunes from Irving Berlin's collection were chosen for the holidays. Central Park was the setting of Act III, fea- Be ready on the count of three.
