'Shrike' begins to develop; preparing for Oct. 31 opening )News By Jackie Amid the painting of sets, the adjusting of lights, and the tacking down of floor coverings, a production is beginning to take shape in P - 33. Rehearsals for "The Shrike," which opens Oct. 31, have been going on for several weeks, and the finished product is emerging techn ically as well as dramatically. Mr. Norman Gaskins, technical director of the Speech-Theatre Arts department, and a student production staff have been building sets, making costumes, and collecting props for "The Shrike," the story of an unsuccessful theatre director who is admitted to the psycho ward of a big city hospital. Members of the production staff are John Rabe, assistant technical director of the department; Michael O'Rand, lighting des igner; Belita Felgen and Sylvia Olcott, wardrobe; and Dave Jones . "Since 'The Shrike ' takes place in a hospital, the stage is literally in two parts. The idea of the difference in color--for example the color of the ward- -is to create a feeling of coldness and unfriendliness," Mr. Gaskins said . "The doctor's office is a smaller stage. It shows warmth and sympathy. It is literally a contrast." The s e t, which was designed by Mr. Gaskins, is constructed in two separate parts. One part, a hospital ward, is painted blue, and the other, a doctor's office, is yellow. John Rabe said, "Mr.
Easley Gask ins gets a mental picture of what he wants. Then we mix it up and see how it looks .. If it looks OK we us e it. The blue is a mixture of green, yellow, black, blue and orange . The color in the office is a French yellow ochre'' Mr. Gaskins compares the stage set for "The Shrike" to that of "Mary, Mary" presented here last year. Both productions had sets that angled off to a corner. "As a designer , because of the basic squareness of this lab, I am forc ed into using the corner set-up. It gives me a freedom of scope of designing ideas," he said. "When a production is selec ted, I take the script and read it three times- once for content, a second time for special ideas, and a third time for detail," Mr. Gaskins said . "The n I make a rough pen and ink sketch. From that I draw a complete watercolor r ende ring. The director and I discuss it, and if there are any changes to be made , we make them then. The dire ctor has the last say in everything. My job is to build him an e ffici e nt set so he can put on a good production." Of the progress of "The Shrike" Mr. Gaskins said, "In m y opinion, it will be one of the most successful productions at Palomar. It is an excelle nt s eason opener . Mr. Ashbrook has s e lected a cast that, in my opinion, will be outstanding."

Dickinson is assistant editor of "Punch", Britain's leading magaz ine of humor and satire for over a century; A top writer of satirical verse and prose on topical themes , he is accepted by the British as a suitable successor to the controversial former editor of "Punch'", Malcolm 111uggeridge. Born in Central Africa, Dicki nson won a scholarship to Eton and completed his education at King's College, Cambridge. Immediately upon graduation he was offered a job with "Punch" and, with the e xception of brief service in the British Army, has been on the staff for the past 15 years . As assistant editor, he is responsible for the overall makeup of the weekly maga z ine. He also contributes satirical ve rs e and articles regularly. Dickinson has written two books and the third, a nove l of "heroe s in decay", is due for publication e arly this year. Not all of his poetry is humorous. Some, such as "Pe ace Mission", published in 19 65 are he avy with satire but the m e ssage is serious . P e ace is one of his favorite topics and he once c onclud e d that "wars are fought only to fill Sunday Supple ments. • Dickinson is at his be st, as was Mugge ridge , whe n poking fun at his own country and its pe ople . In a poem called "Exporting Print•, two elderly people in a r e staurant consid e ring the effects of world competition on the British pound ask, "So why did the Yank and the Hun and the Russ Get the crazy urge to compete with us?" Afte r the subject has bee n thoroughly considered in this "song of the falling pound," Dickinson says~ "But then they showed the stuff Of which Englishmen are made. They clapped their hands . A waiter came With two more glasses of the same. " Irish writer Sean O'Faolain said in his lecture at Palomar last week that "tragedy is not a greater art form than humor: indeed , humor is a rarer art" . Dickinson will attempt to relate the importance of satire to humorous writing. The next pre sentation in the series will be an appearance Decembe r 14 of classical guitarist Manue l Lope z Ramos of Buenos Aires , Argentina. A serious student of guitar since the age of 12, Ramos has had many success ful world-wide tours and presently r ecords for RCA Vi c tor.
