Bordine Speaks Today
Teacher Placement
To bring about a mutual under
standing of the problems involved
in the preparation and placement
of teachers at Central Michigan
College, Kenneth Bordine, director   of   teacher   education,   will
speak today at 4:10 p.m. in W-103.
Speaking on "The Preparation
and Placement of Teachers," Dr.
Bordine will explain admission
io candidacy requirements and
salaries  and  opportunities  in
teaching and administration.
.    He will also talk about current
trends in teacher supply and demand.
broomsticks,   black   cats   and
pumpkins   were   discarded   by
John   van   Druteri   when   he
wrote "Bell, Book and Candle,"
a Broadway comedy hit.
For   modern   audiences,   Van
Druten   decided   to   conjure   up
modern witches, and his play is
therefore   inhabited   with   spellbinders that really "belong" in the
20th century.
The leading sorceress is Gillian, a glamorous witch who is
young and alluring and lives in
a well-furnished New York •
apartment, keeping her talents
at witching a well-kepi secret
from her neighbors, in traditional style.
Although she has no broomstick for night flying, Gillian does
keep a cat. He is not black and
diabolic, however, but a cheerful
Siamese who mews contentedly
instead of hissing.
The author has taken details
from witch trials of history and
brought them up-to-date with a
prankish touch: he hexes telephones and traffic lights!
The conjuring in "Bell, Book
and Candle" puis ihe accent Jon
comic aspects rather than ©vil
ones. The most potent weapon
employed by  witch  Gillian'; is
love, and the play shows thai
love has a magic of its own, superior to any other witchery.
The Manistee Summer Theatre
is a professional equity company
in its sixth summer at the Rams-
dell Opera House. Ten plays are
presented in a ten week session
from early July to early September.
