. . . Queen of May
Professional
Helps Play
Professional choreography has
been enlisted to help insure a
top-notch performance in the
forthcoming musical comedy “Lit
tle Mary Sunshine.”
The play, which is already in
rehearsals under the direction of
James Thomas of the drama fac
ulty, is scheduled for presenta
tion in Moore Auditorium Satur
day, May 8.
Earl Bagley, a professional
choreographer from Jacksonville,
Fla., was on the campus Apr. 4-
12 to help work o,ut the dance
routines for the production.
Set in the mountains of Colo
rado, the play’s action is a merry
chase led by forest rangers trying
to capture a band of notorious
Indians who have been threatening
Little Mary Sunshine.
The play ends happily with Good
triumphing over Evil and the In
dians rehabilitated, but before the
final curtain there’s many a good
laugh and lively song.
Additional details on the cast
and crew will be published in the
next issue of the Hilltop.

most popular two-piano team, will
give a concert in Moore Auditor

This husband and wife duo has
received more national magazine
space than any other two-piano
team in the world. Articles have
appeared in the Ladies’ Home
Journal, Cornet and This Week
magazines. The couple has also
been featured on NBC-TV’s “This
Is Your Life” program. Mr. Neal’s

Harry Lee Neal, a boy from Ten
nessee, who was studying with
the renowned pedagogue, Isabelle
Vengerova.
They have played over a thous
and concerts in many parts of the
world. They spend their summers
at Manorhouse, an ante helium

they devote themselves to prac

students who come from all over
America to study with them.
On tour the artists travel in a
custom-designed bus which in
cludes living facilities for eight
adults. The bus consists of a
complete kitchen and bath, hot
and cold running water, electric
power plant, and two beautifully
matched Baldwin Concert Grand

accompanied them often on their
tours.
