Show Friday, December 10, 1948 SIGNPOST Page 9 l2Jlfil mm Pictured above is an architect's sketch of the proposed North entrance to the new Weber college campus. A South entrance will match the North gate, and a large marker in the center will designate the name of the college. The Ogden Rotary club will finance the project which is expected to cost $25,000. The sketch was drawn for the college and the Rotary club by Architect Paul Hodgson. NOTE TO THESPIANS: TRYOUTS FOR 'LITTLE FOXES' WEDNESDAY AT COLLEGE Try-outs for acting roles in Lil- lian Hillman's "The Little Foxes"" second dramatic offering of the season by the Ogden Community-Weber College Theatre, will begin in Room M-405 of Weber college at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday, Thatcher Allred, production director, said Friday. Try-outs will consist of readings of selected scenes from the play and will continue until a tentative cast has been secured. Production dates are scheduled for the first week in February. Cast members will be chosen from both college contestants and from the community at large. Any person in the community is eligible to try-out for the roles, if a member of the little theatre association; that is, a holder of a season ticket for the current year. The Little Foxes, is a strong play and credited as being one of the finest dramatic successes to have reached Broadway during the past decade. The play, like its companion piece Another Part of the Forest, has done much to place Lillian Hillman, author of 'both, in the front rank of present day playwrights. Both plays have recently been made into motion pictures of outstanding quality and success. The Little Foxes takes place in the year 1900. It is concerned with a family of rising industrialists in the south, who in turn, are concerned only with power and money. Few plays offered Ogden audiences by the little theatre group have equalled the present play in dramatic strength and in the demands the roles will make on acting talent to be found in the community. "There are not 'bit parts' offered in this play and none that are not deserving of the best talent to be found either on or off the campus," said Thatcher All-red in an interview. "We are eager to secure a cast as soon as possible after try-outs begin," he added, "but I shall be unwilling to weaken the cast at any point as a result of hasty casting." Mr. Allred characterized the roles available in The Little Foxes as follows: ADDIE, a negress, old family servant and general housekeeper. Middle-aged and an important role. Not a trivial servant role. CAL, man servant of comparable rank and age, and of similiar consequence. BIRDIE HUBBARD, middle-aged, about forty, pretty, well bred, sensitive but perplexed character; something of the symbol of the fading Aristocracy of the old south. OSCAR HUBBARD, earlymiddle-aged man. An emphatic, dom inant character. At heart, a ruth less and rather brutal individual. LEO HUBBARD, a man of twenty. A personable young man but of weak moral character. WILLIAM MARSHALL, a man of forty-five, pleasant looking, self-possessed competent man of the world and of business. RE GIN A GIDDENS, an intelligent and attractive woman of forty. At heart a cunning and entirely ruthless personality. ALEXANDRA GIDDENS, Re-gina's daughter, age seventeen or eighteen. Pretty girl of adoles- CCIT.Ce. BENJAMIN HUBBARD, the older brother of the Hubbard family, about fifty-five, smooth, hearty manner but unenthusiastic like all the Hubbards. A scheming, unscrupulous character. HORACE GIDDENS, a man who has made a success in the business world. A likeable character but one who has been made a victim through his dealings with the un-scrpulous Hubbard clan. In the play he is in weak and precarious condition of health because of pronounced heart trouble. Persons who desire further particulars about the production should make contacts with Mr. Allred himself, either at the college or at his residence. Those who are interested in being associated with the production other than acting in roles are also encouraged to make names and interests known to Mr. Allred, Supervising Director of the Little Theatre Organization, or to other members of the board. Dr. W. G. Greenwell is currently president of the Theatre Board.
