Ballard Barely Warms Role
As Mama Rose in Gypsy'
By Tom Foster
The memoir* of strip-teaser
Gypsy Host* Lee are currently be-
ing unveiled to Music Hail audi-
ence* in Dallas in the form of a
musical fable entitled "Gypsy"
which will run through Aug. 12.
The show is all about the death
of vaudeville and the birth of bur-
lesque. Rowdier than either is
Mama Rose, loud, inconsiderate
and overbearing, but a lovable and
dedicated mother. The story tells
of her attempts to make her sugar,
und-splee daughter. Baby June, a
star, and of her shortcoming* that
lead to making her other daugh-
ter, Louise, one of the most popu-
lar stripper., since Little Kgypt.
LOST MOVIE ROI.K
Ethel Merman played Mama
Rose for two years on Broadway
and toured with the company for
eight months throughout the Unit-
ed States. Unfortunately, she lost
the movie role to Rosalind Rus-
sell. Kaye Ballard, star of the
award-winning "Carnival," is the
mother in the Summer Musicals
production.
On arriving in Dallas to <io the
part during her three-week vaca-
tion, Miss Ballard frankly admit-
ted that she couldn't compare to
Merman and that what she intend-
ed to do was give the role new in-
terpretation.
Alpha Phi Wins
Scholarship Award
Alpha Phi, with a 1.934 over-
all grade-point average, won the
spring semester women's frater-
nity scholarship award. Alpha
Delta Pi, with 1.906, ranked sec-
ond, and Chi Omega was third
with 1.900.
First-place honors for the high-
est pledge class average went to
Kappa Delta, with a 2.108 over-
all grade-point average. Alpha
Phi pledges ranked second with
1.911, followed by Alpha Delta Pi
pledges with 1.700.
The over-all average of pledge
members for the spring semester
was 1.704.
Chi Omega ranked first in the
active members award with a
1.941 over-all grade-point aver-
age. Delta (iainma received sec-
ond for its average of 1.987 and
Alpha Phi third for 1.986.
The over-all grade-point aver-
age for all six of the women's fra-
ternities during the spring se-
mester was 1.798, slightly higher
than the average of all women on
campus, 1.688.
But unfortunately for Miss Bal-
lard, the role is not one of in-
tei pi elation. When the "West Side
Story" team, Jule Styne, Stephen
Solid, im and Jerome Robbins,
wrote music, lyrics and directed
the original show, the talents of
Miss Merman were utilized to the
utmost. A duplicate or interpre-
tation proves impossible.
WILL IT FLOP?
Does this mean that the movie
will be a flop? Only time can an-
swer the question, but the show is
billed as a non-musical, so Roz
Russell may be a completely new
and different Mama Rose.
The part of Gypsy is played in
Dallas by Julienne Marie, who did
the part on Broadway after San-
dra Church left the cast. She also
touted with the company, and her
experience makes her the most
professional actress on stage. Na-
talie Wood will do the movie role.
Louise is the ugly duckling,
shoved into the shadows for her
younger and prettier sister, June,
who is better known as June Ha-
voc. But June elopes with a boy
from the chorus, and Rose is left
with only Louise to make a star.
Vaudeville dies, and mother push-
es daughter into the next-best
field of little or no talent.
SIDEKICK, ROBOT
Jack Cassidy, husband-singer of
Shirley Jones, portrays llerbie,
Roses' sidekick, agent of the act
and robot. Cassidy's singing tal-
ents might have been used more
to add polish to the production.
Mis only effort is a duet with Miss
Ballard entitled "You'll Never Get
Away From Me," in which he out-
acts and by far outsings her, even
though she has a throat mike that
works occasionally. Following the
opening, he made the comment,
"Everytime I hear one of those
songs I wish I wi singing, my
stomach turns."
PLEASANT SURPRISE
The most pleasant surprise in
the show is the number "You Got-
ta Have A Gimmick," in which
three strippers describe the art
of the act. The parts are comical-
ly done by Anne Russell, Peg
Murray and Kay Coleman.
Incidentally, Sally Rand, one of
Miss Lee's coworkers, was present
for the opening performance with
liO of the other members of the
Houston production. Said Mi>s
Rand of the Dallas show, "Kn-
chanting."
But in this corner, the Dailas
show is only fair. Merman has
made the mother as immortal as
the famous daughter is, but Kaye
Ballard scarcely does more than |
keep the part warm during the
two-week run.
Dietitians Try
Varied Ways
Of Cooking
Meat is the most expensive item
of all lunchroon commodities and
great care should be taken in pre-
paring it, Miss Melba Ryan told
27 lunchroom workers from all
over the state in a foods labora-
tory Wednesday.
But you don't have to serve T-
bone steak to please the average
student, she added.
"Little fellows will turn down
steak for ground meat," said Miss
Ryan, who is director of the school
lunchrooms at Irving. "The ground
meat is easier for them to chew,
and they are accustomed to eating
ground meat at home."
The lab which Miss Ryan suf-
pervises is part of a three-week
program in cookery and nutrition
which will end Saturday. Eighty-
five lunchroom members have met
to exchange hints on quantity
cooking, budgeting and cooking
methods.
Ill Wednesday's lab, the workers
studied the effect of temperature
on meats and methods of cooking
meats. They compared the effect
of high temperatures and low
temperatures, the amount of
shrinkage and loss of juices.
"Where space is a problem,
many times it is necessary to use
ovens to cook the meat and keep
it ready for serving," explained
Miss Ryan. "Ovens also retain
much of the moisture of the meat."

An old-timer sitting in the shade
of a pecan tree on the lawn of the
| Denton County Courthouse may
j hear chimes ring out live times in
the distance, Chances are, he'll look
up to the courthouse clock to
I'bei k the hour, then de< ide to halt
I his lazy afternoon until tomorrow.
■ I Like many m tin Denton area,
the old-timers have come to con-
sider the carillon atop McConnell
Tower ui a part of their life,
Some mothers rely on it to feed
I the baby, to start the afternoon
meal, or to look for husband on
his return from work.
But many who hear the carillon
daily would be surprised to learn
| that the tremendous sound, grimi-
er in carrying power than that of
a 20-ton cast bell, comes from a
I small musical instrument similar
to a xylophone,
Rods pkodi'ch soi M)
Slender metal rods about the
sine of a fountain pen and weigh-
ing only 1 Vi ounces produce the
sound. Tiny microphones detect
the barely audible tones, and
through the use of four amplifiers
and six speakers the carillon's
"Westminister Chimes' can be
heard every hour on the hour from
K a.m. to 8 p.m. and sometimes as
far as two miles away.
The tonal range of the Deitgon
Celesta-Chimes, as it is commer-
cially called, is .'12 notes, (' to G,
with 21/6 octaves, all the tones
of a chromatic scale. The extend-
ed range of the carillon permits
all hymns, folk songs and patriotic
numbers and all classical and semi-
classical music suitable for per-
formance with the bells to be
played with correct harmony in
the same key in which they were
written, said Robert j. Rogers, one
of the three North Texas teach-
ers given lessons on the instru-
ment by the manufacturer.
ACTIJATHH bklls
An automatic time system,
which works much like u clock
radio, actuates the bells each
hour. The timer switches the am-
plifier on four minutes before the
hour and otf four minutes after
the hour.
The machine is equipped with
a device that can pipe the caril-
lon's sounds only to the ground
floor of the Administration Build-
ing, where all the set except the
speakers ia housed. This enables
the students to have recitals and
practice sessions.
SPECIAL Ml SIt
Some events, such as Homecom-
ing, Christmas and home football
games, rate a special performance
by carillonneur Henry Ross. "Glo-
ry to the Green" usually precedes
the Saturday football games, and
traditional carols set the yule spir-
it on campus each year.
The tower and carillon were of-
ficially dedicated on Dec. IS, IBM,
as the W. Joseph McConnell Me-
morial Tower, and a recital was
given by a leading carillonneur,
June Albright of the Deagon Co.
Outings Planned

group, will sponsor a swimming
party and picnic at Lake Bridge-
port at 2 p.m. Sunday.
