PAGE TWO 'Rainbow' Leads Are Missourian, Virginian An Air Force lieutenant that sings and a southern girl with a newly acquired Irish accent—they're not really leprechaun's magic, but the romantic leads in "Finian's Rainbow" which opens at 7:30 Thursday night for a weekend run in Schwab Auditorium. The singing lieutenant is 24-year-old special student in meteor ology Michael McKay, and the "Irish" southerner is Jeanne Lip py, eighth semester arts and let ters major, from Arlington, Va. McKay and Miss Lippy are mak ing their second Thespians ap pearance McKay may, be a relative new comer to musical comedy on campus but has appeared with the Light Opera Guild, and also did stock work with the Munici pal Opera of his home town—St. Louis, Mo. "I liked stock work a lot," Mc- Kay said, He also appeared in road companies of "Brigadoon" and "High Button Shoes." Last semester McKay sang "I Remem ber Carol" in Thespians' original "Funny Side Up." McKay is a graduate of the Uni versity of Maryland and also at tended Saint Louis University, where he was a member of the basketball team. The government is sending Mc- Kay to the University to learn meterology. Along with Thespians and Air Force work, McKay made a straight 3 average last semester. "I may give singing a whirl or I may stay in the Air Force," Mc- Kay added. "Right now this is almost a perfect combination." Miss Lippy said she hoped the public would notice her slightly red hair. "I've put six capsules on it, and just one is normal. I'm afraid it'll never get red." She transferred last semester from Mary Washington College last year because "I was tired of a girl's school and I wanted to major in dramatics." Her singing voice first got attention when she won first prize in the Junior Class talent show. She also won third prize in the state talent contest. Miss Lippy made her Thespians' debut as Evalina in "Bloomer Girl" last spring and kept her self busy during the summer ap pearing with the Bull Run Sum mer Theater. She played Corliss Archer in "Kiss and Tell," Gladys in "The Skin of Our Teeth," a Brooklynese chorus girl in "Girl Crazy," Marian in "The Heiress," and Aunt Trina in "I Remember Mama." "I don't think ru go directly into dramatics when I graduate in June," Miss Lippy said. "I'd like to do some recreational di recting, if possible."
