by William Inge, will be

direction of Mrs. Almeda Viets.
Taking place in a street corner
“Poor Dr. Lyman!,” “Bus Stop’s” drunk, has fmaUy passed out
after his last fifth.
restaurant near a small Kansas
Town Bus Station, the action
begins at 1 a.m. and lasts until
around 6 a.m. The action takes
place due to the hold up of a bus
to Topeka, and centers around
three love stories, each an
entirely different type.
Characters in the play are; Bo
Decker (Mayo Kissam), a young,
rather loud cowboy, madly in
love with a chanteuse that has
really been around. The
chanteuse named Cherie is
played by Judy Ivey.
Other characters in the play
are Grace Hoylard (Ann Warren)
a grass-widow who is owner of
the restaurant. There is also Carl,
the bus driver (J. B. Lee), who is
interested in Grace, or is it her
bedroom?
Dr. Gerald Lyman, former
professor who now holds the
title of public drunk, is played
by Jack Council. He has, or
pretends to have a thing going
for Elma (Judy Hayes), a young,
rather innocent waitress.
One of the most needed
characters in the play is the
sheriff, WiU (acted by William
Lambert.), the stern, but
good-hearted man who believes
in doing his duty. Another
needed character, or needed to
Bo, at least, is Virgil (Charles
Gore), a sensible ranch hand
who has reared Bo since he was
ten and is still trying to call him
down when the need arises,
which is very often.
Packed with action, from
love-making to fighting, the cast
and Mrs. Viets agree that “Bus
Stop” is a play that everyone
will enjoy seeing. “The play cast
is working very hard to put all
the action into the play that
really belongs in it which will
really make the play a
tremendous success if a large
audience is there to cheer the
players on, so everyone come,”
says Mrs. Viets.
Tickets for adults will be sold
in different stores or posts in the
surrounding towns. All students
from surrounding schools may
purchase a ticket for half price.
All of the cast invites you to
come and witness this action
packed play. They feel you
won’t regret coming.

This overpowering and
completely absorbing film tells
the manner in which men lose
something of themselves while
winning a war. These are the
men and women who find
themselves trapped and changed,
morally and emotionally, by the
tragedy of war. Their several
stories, their temporary liasons
and desperate efforts to find
meaning in their own lives and in
the lives of others, are told with
sensitivity and compassion.
While the film follows in the
footsteps of a squad of
American soldiers from the early
days of the Battle of Britain to
the uneasy peace in the divided
city of Berlin, it is not a story of
battles but of people. While the
soldiers wear American
uniforms, they represent all men
regardless of uniform. Brilliantly
performed, alternately shocking
and tender, brutal and moving,
the impact of this film will not
easily be forgotten.
