A DANCER, A WILD RUSSIAN AND FLAMBOYANTROMAN? You never know just what you'll find In the University'sfirst summer production, the funny "You Can't Take It With You."

IMPE activities move outdoorsBy RON LOGSDONStaff WriterIf you've been discouraged by

crowds all spring from, using theindoor facilities of the IntramuralPhysical Education (IMPE )building, now's your chance.

During the summer most acti-vity moves outdoors , leaving thevarious indoor athletic courts andrecreation rooms relativelydeserted.- ' The major exception to thisgeneralization is the basketballcourts. According to David Mat-thews , director of intramuralactivities , there is a year-rounddemand for basketball space.

Unfortunately for you swimmingand tennis freaks, it sometimesseems that all those people whoaren 't playing table tennis ,recquetball , handball , and all thoseother indoor sports are out on thetennis courts and in the swimmingpool with you .

ThisM situation is furtheraggravated by a succession ofsummer youth groups and partici-pants in various University confer-ences, all of whom may use theIMPE facilities after paying a fee.

Matthews, however, minimized theeffect of these groups except for afew occasions.

Co-rec pools are also available atvarious times in Huff , Kinney , andFreer gyms.

In addition to the three poolsideconcerts already announced for theIMPE building this summer, adance with a rock band on theIMPE tennis courts is planned forthe near future. There will also beoccasional serenades of swimmersat the outdoor IMPE- pool by apiano player and a guitar-banjoduo. * ... ; ' ."

Coming up is a special July 4program at IMPE featuring tours

and exhibitions of a variety ofwater sports. The second annualmen's and women's singles andmixed doubles tennis tournamentwill be held July 13 and 14. Alsoapproaching is the faculty-staffgolf tournament on the Orangecourse at Savoy July 19.

'Take It'Summer season opener funny, warm

By GERRY LABEDZStaff ReviewerA typical American family?

Hardly.But they sure are a warm bunch ,

pretty funny, and American if notquite typical. That's what we aretreated to in "You Can 't Take ItWith You" the first installment ofthe University Theatre's SummerRepertory season.

This is better than the usualUniversity Theatre fare seen in theKrannert Center's plush Playhousetheatre . As comedy it is fairlytight , though it could be a bitquicker—and will hopefully tightenup even more as the summer goeson. A lot of the typical UniversityTheate flaws are missing. DirectorJohn Ahart has made sure cues arepicked up in good time, speech isgood, and characterization staysconstant.

What is the play about? It'sabout a family that is happy to justbe. If they look daft to the com-moner's eye, it might be that thecommoner is too busy to really lookat what is going on inside thishouse.

As Ahart points out in his linernotes, this is part of the Americandream—to do just what you want ,to take life and the flag as things tobe lived and not just dealt with .

And it is in this context that thesummer players have created afamily that anyone can join bysimply saying so.

Theatrereview

Marcia Cooke, always a brightspot on the program , gives us aPenelope Sycamore who writesnot-for-profit dirty books for thesheer fun of it , and all the while ismother and woman of the house.Seamed stockings and squeakyvoice mark her time and hermanner , but concern for her familygeneralize her to every mother inthe American age.

As Alice, Barbara Robertson isthe perfect clear-eyed Americangirl , with a smile from ear ascharming as a cool summer 'sevening.

Alice is the connection to theoutside. She has a "regular" joband as a result has met a man (JeffOrtman ) to fall in love with—thevice-president of the company.

In the conflict between thestandard American family andAlice's, Mr. Ortman and Ms.Robertson hold their balance as abeautiful couple.

But though Ms. Robertson beginsas a marvelously natural Alice-one of the best pieces of work seen

in this" town for some time-^sheslips into a mild ease of overactinglate in the show, and on occasionbecomes guilty of indicating.

If Kenneth Miller 's MartinVanderhof is a bit too con-descending of a grandfather , atleast he does a loveable job of it.

Grandpa had a job 35 years ago,but gave it up to do what he wantedto do—goof off—and serves as sortof the philosophy-maker. Millercarries the role well and thereforewe are ready when at the end of theplay he has to straighten out theconflict between the two families.

Gregg Dennhardt as Mr:DePinna deserves a note. This bentover character with pipe, eyeshade and overalls looks like acharacter right out of the old"Saturday Evening Post." Not themost delicate acting, but a nicehumorous touch.

And rummaging around the(necessarily) busy stage (nicesetting) is Robert Falls as Ed. Mr.Falls gives us an easy-going Edcontent in his little world withprinting press and xylophone. Wemight want to dislike him for beinglazy , but his endearing "Hiya ,hiya , hiya ," cures that.

The show is fun , and technicallygood too. I recommend you spend acouple bucks on it.

After all , you can 't take it withyou. . .,. .-. .Jry'-y .... ¦ .;" ;
