'Little Foxes' Tryouts
For Session Students
Set For Monday Night
Summer session students will
have their only chance to try out
for a Players' production of "The
Little Foxes" in itoom 405 Old
Main from 7 to 9 p. m. tomorrow
and Monday nights, Lawrence E.
Tucker, director, announced last
night.
One of two major campus pre-
sentations for the Summer semes
ter, "The Little Foxes" will be
given the week of July 2, probably
on the Wednesday night of that
week. The other Players' show,
"The Rivals," now in production,
is scheduled for July 10 and 11,
Soph Hop weekend.
- In the cast of the recent Broad
way and Hollywood 'hit are parts
for six men and four women.
There are also good parts for a
Negro woman and a Negro' mari.
The part of Regina Giddens, made
outstanding by Tallulah Bankhead
on the stage and Bette Davis in
the movies, is by far the best part
in the play.
Written by Lillian Hellman,
Fjuthor of "Watch On The Rhine,'
and 'The Children's Hour," the
play is laid in the deep South of
the period about 1900. The other
important characters are, Ben
Hubbard, King of the clan if Re
gina is the Queen; Oscar Hubbard,
the cruel, self-centered tool of
Ben.
Since the show will be cast
Tuesday and start right in with
rehearsals, Mr. Tucker requested
that all Summer session students
should sign up at Student Union
sometimes Monday to make sure
of a reading that night. Tryouts
Sunday night, however, do not ne
cessitate signing up in advance.
Readings will le.st from 7 to 9
p. m. 'Sunday, and from 7 to 10
p. Mond4y. The tryouts are
limited to Summer session stti
