MINTZ Staff Writer "The time has come," said the Walrus, "to talk of many things. .." (My free passes have yet to arrive and I haven't anything to reviewv.) This week's theatre column is dlevotedl to a brief rundown of the * coming season . . . for the theatre goer and the amateur "sugar-cured ham." To this observer the Colum b)ia stage and screen scene appears to be blessed with many exciting new ventures, and it promises to present the finest year of dramatic entertainment in, at least, the four years that I have been here. Mrs. Phyllis Fleishel has an nounced that the University Players' first production will be Lillian Hlellman's "Another Part of the Forest." Tryouts were held this week and work on the play is in progress. There is al ways a need for energetic people to help in "gettin' the show on the road" . . . so let's go, Game cocks (Freshmen are welcome). Truman Henderson, an artistic and versatile USC student, has been hard at work designing sets and supervising the publicity enterprise (making the posters). The progress of this important Columbia "first" will be faith fully followed. The Towvn Theatre is getting ready to bring "Wonderful Town" to our wondlerful towvn. '1.

Tennessee Williams' comedy, "Period of Adjustment,' to followthe lime sherbet. The peo pie involved in the play are well. known to Columbia's drama lovers. Your theatre reporter will have more to say of this prospect after a visit with the director in the near future. Columbia College . . . well, what can one say about Colum bia College? I've yet to make that long cross-city trek to se cure a copy of the theatre menu, but from my past experience the dishes served up will be both palatable and memorable. C2 will fill their charming Cotting ham theatre with excellent col lege and drama this year. Mel Glass, a noted Columbia drama enterpreneur will undoubt edly plunge his new Actor's Guild into the foray. It was my distinct pleasure to work with the Guild this summer and I believe that we can count on their bringing us some fine performances.

Their advice has ieen to give the public what they want (sincere treatment of current hi:s, mixed in with their standard hits) and to be entertaining. By following their own advice, the Platters have managed to stay on top for a solid ten years. For lo these many years. the Platters have always been heard on the air, bought in the stores. and enjoyed in movies or in clubs. When signed to Mercury Recordk in 1954, the Platters were by no means instant hits. They had mod eiate success until 19156 when they broke wide open." MILLION SELLERS One of their first million sellers came in 1956; it was "The Great Pretender." That same year wit i nessed the recording of "The Magic Touch," "My Prayer," and "Heaven on Earth." In 1957 the Platters came out with hits such as "One in a Mil b,See'n. 11eard. Spoken SON CAMPUS Talking about t ired stude nts, 1 heard one remark, "I atlmost drowned in my grits this morn ing."
