Later, while his voice was chung- irigi Strong finished his schooling and studied drams, dramatics, and tap dancing. Strong then became a Master of Ceremonies' for Publix Theatres and later'for the Blackhawk Res taurant in Chicago., He worker! there for four months with Kay Kyser, who encouraged him to 1 become a bandleader., His first engagement—at the Brown Hotel in Louisville—-lasted three years. One night he sang . some old songs to see if they still had popular appeal. They were a big hit, and his most requested songs were “Baby Face,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” and “Mary Lou.” The popularity of well-loved favorites soon grew to such pro portions that Strong decided to as sociate them with himself as a sort of musical trade mark.-. His orchestra presents an entire Door show when the occasion re quires, for which Strong has es pecially written- material featur ing himself; his [girl vocalist, and other members of the ensemble.

O Mattress Mine! Aggie Players More Work . j L : : ' r , Than Play—Ask Any of ’Em By WAYNE DAVIS If you think a play begins when the opening curtain on Opening Night, then talk to Duane Evans. He doesn’t think so. “Begins?” Evans says. “It’s practically over.” Evans, together with Howard Davis, Pete Carson, George Will- man and David Mitchell, are on Polly Marst^ys’ stage crew for the forthcoming Aggie Players produc tion, “O Mistress Mine,” being held in the Assembly Hall May 3, 4 and 6. The play, written by Terence Rattigan and produced in London as “Love in Idleness,” was a Lon don hit for two and a half years before Lunt and Fontaine brought it to America under its new name for; a year and a half run on Broadway. Laid against a background of wartime England, the plot cen ters on the extramarital activ ities of an English Cabinet Mem ber and a lovely widow, and such a plot requires, naturally enough, a fairly sumptuous set reflect ing upper-crust English life. \“Thst,” said Evans, “meant trouble.” He wasn’t footing. For the past three weeks Iwr-vulong with the rest of the stage crew, has been feverishly assembling flats, props, furniture, ‘ drapery, and all the other little odds and ends of an elite apartment. Added to thi* ,woo waa tjie fact that u complete change of furni ture Iwas necessary for the third act. Lacking extra flats—the big panels that make up a set—meant that Evans and his crew would have to find means to make a high- class set look sleazy, or vice versa, The problem was solved, all right; but only after considerable loss iff sleep. Tlie problem of furniture was another thing altogether. No way yet has been found to change the appearance of a living room suite, but members of the crew came through with several auth entic-looking used pieces and the main set was borrowed from R. T. Dennis, McCullough-Dansby, and Kraft Furniture Company of Bry^n. The vglue of the bor rowed . furniture alone comes to well! over $2,500, which is enough to outfit quite a sump tuous room, indeed. Another of the Players staff who pas been sjweating profusely since the inception of the play is its director, George Dillavou, of the English Department. From the ipomsnt it was decided to produce the |ijluy, Dillavlou has appointed the Various committees and crews, Oo-ond United their activities, ex pedited their furniture and prop negotiations, rehearsed the cast nightly, and worjeed himself into a nervous breakdown over a thous and and one little details which a play’s audience never knows exist. . 1■' v ; » r : V- “And all for love,” Dillavou said. “I don’t get a penny for it.” No one does, as a matter of fact—not even the furniture companies who furish the sets. An Aggie Players production is sponsored by Student Activities, who take care of all experoes and use the'profits for further pro ductions and Student Benefits. Depending on the type Of play being produced, expenses may run from $200 to $500, the difference between the two lying in cos tumes, royalties, .expendable sets and miscellaneous expenses. As might be expected the cost of pro ducing an amateur play is low be^ cause all workers donate their time. This is handy, because Polly Masters’ stage crew has put in nearly three hundred hours of work 6n the set; at $2.10 an hour, the average stage - employee’s wage, this would run production cost up to a truly awe-inspiring figure. Still, as far as the audience is concerned, the opening curtain means a play’s beginning. But for Dillayou, Duane Evans, Ppl)y Mas ters and the backstage crjew, it's all over but moving Furniture be tween acts, moving flats, keeping the cast from stumblinijr over props, pulling curtains sweating out possible damage to borrowed furniture, and keeping the whis key glasses filled with tea—noth ing to ^lo at all.
