Music Circus
Stop The World-!. Want
, To
Get Off,A New Style Musical
Anew style musical, Stop The
World I Want To Get Off, will
be the next offering at Music
Circus, opening Monday night,
August 3 for a week's run through
Sunday, August 9.
Stop The World, which ran in
London and Néw York’ for over two
years, took the critics and audiences by surprise. Totally different from anything seen before,
the show has a singularly stimulating impact. Its stylized interpretation of the seven stages of
man is unique in the theatre, It
requires an unusual amount of
versatility in its two main characters. Littlechap and Evie. The
male leadin particular must act,
sing, dance, and in addition be
an expert mime. Truly a tour de
force.
Lewis and Young, producers of
Music Circus, have been most
fortunate in their casting. Playing
Littlechap will be KennethN elson
who has just completed the road
tour of the company and who
played the role on Broadway after
Anthony Newley. He was person >
ally trained in the role by Mr.
Newley who created the part in
the-original London production
and later in New York, Mr. Newley, along with Leslie Bricusse,
is also responsible for the book
and score.
Playing
Evie, the foil for
Littlechap, will be Carole Cook,
a fast rising comedienne.
Stop The World has a score
which matches its story, What
Kind of Fool Am I?, Gonna Build
A Mountain, Once In A Lifetime
are three of the songs which are
‘well known. There are others
equally good, such as Someone
Nice Like You and a little ditty
called Typically English, which
Evie sings throughout the show,
but with appropriate variations.

The White Cliffs. My Life Wish
Fulfilled. .
Nevada Union High School's
folk-singing AFS Student Abroad
Debby Thompson reached her
destination in FinlandJuly 9,
talked three hours about education there with “sister” Ilona, and
toured the Baltic Sea city of Turku
the following day.
In her own words, she reports:
July 8 -I'm on a train going
through Denmark now, but! guess
I'll take it from yesterday.
Am I ever glad to get off that
boat! Actually the trip was nice
going through the English channel, Really calm and all..and
LAND.. the White Cliffs of Dover.
My life wish is fulfilled. I SAW
ENGLAND!
Anyway, we docked in Rotterdam at 6 a.m. on the 7th, but
we were the second to last country
off. 10 a.m.! Well, we skipped
light-heartedly down the gang~plank -scrambling like ruddy
good eggs--to get to land.
Then we got our luggage and
went down to the busses, I was
last off at the train. There Rauni
(AFS chaperone) handed out mail.
The train pulled out at 12:15
p.m.
Weheard some Hollander telling some AFSers that all Americans are stupid, So tactful and
all! He got this impression from
some tourist that thought the
Rhine was the NILE! Oh brother..
We stopped at one town in Holland for 15 minutes. Right in the
middle of town. There were girls
leaning out of an apartment window waving so we waved back.
Soon the whole living room was

ordnance; and dolls, rare and
beautiful costumes, and some of,
the finest antique china in existence.
For those serious antique collectors who come to buy, this
show, one of the largest ever held
in northern California, will be a
treasure-trove. For the fairgoer
who comes only to learn and to
look this will be a liberal education in antiques.

Yankee folkster in Scandinavia! That was my name on the
boat. No one had time to learn
names, so I was just “the folksinger".
We had breakfast in Copenhagen. The milk hereabouts is
terrific.
We spent the rest of the day
going through Denmark and Swe-den. The-lunch en the train.was
ty pically Scandinavian. Cold
meats and many kinds of bread.
Boy was it nice to get to the

all that blasted luggage around

Ilona told me about the two kinds

One is the viper. Mad! And the
other is a black snake with a little

After that, Ilona and I talked
