The World Of
Sandburg To
Be Presented
The World of Carl Sandburg
will be presented by the Vaga
bond Touring Theater of the
Flait Rock Playhouse in the
Dunham Auditorium December
4 at 6:30 p. m. The chapel pro
gram will begin at this time, in
stead of the usual 7:00 p. m.
Under the auspices of the
State Board of Education, the
Flat Rock Playhouse’s produc
tion of “The World of Carl
Sandburg” is on tour for the
fourth year in North Carolina.
The Vagabond Players, who
comprise the official State
Theater of North Carolina, con
duct the tour based on Norman
Corwin’s adaption. The Vaga
bond Touring Theater compa
ny, all former Vagabond play
ers, includes Helen Bragdon,
Thomas Molyneaux, Susan
Hurst, Thomas Merrit, and Stew
art Farquhar. The production is
directed by Robroy Farquhar,
actor - manager and founder of
the Carolina troupe. He has di
rected and played with such
stars as Jennifer Jones, Rose
mary Prinz, Don Dubbins, Rob
ert Walker, Gary Moore, and
Oscar winners Kim Hunter and
Lee Marvin. For fifteen years,
Farquhar directed the Bre
vard Little Theater.
Carl Sandburg, one of the
best known American poets,
published something like a
thousand poems. Some of
these, notably “Chicago,” “Fog,”
“Coll Tombs,” and “Grass,”
would have to be mentioned in
any list of the most widely read
poems ever written in the Unit
ed States. Famous as a humorist,
he has even included jokes in
one of his volumes of poetry.
More famous as a biographer,
he is the author of a six-volume
life of Abraham Lincoln. He has
written an autobiography, Al
ways the Young Strangers, and
a novel, Remembrance Rock.
The World of Carl Sandburg,
composed by Norman Corwin, is
a script for stage presentation.
It is not a play. It might be com
pared to a pageant, except that
it is chiefly meant to be heard,
whereas a pageant is chiefly
meant to be seen. Like a radio
script, The World of Carl Sand-
Iwg appeals mainly to the ear;
it is a “concert style” theater
■ext. It is made up of speeclies
(passages from Sandburg, with
introductory and transitional
matter) intended to be re
cited by different voices. Like
