fered by Rice Institute over

ciate Professor of Geology,

4 Ring Round the Moonf
BY ANN DAVIS
The Rice Players' first regular
production of the year is to be
"Ring Round the Moon" by Jean
Anouilh. Tentative dates for the
presentation are November 3 and
4; tickets will be 75 cents.
"Ring Round the Moon," of-
ficially subtitled "a charade with
imusic," has been variously des-
cribed as a farce, a romantic
comedy, a burlesque.
At any rate the plot revolves,
in an extraordinarily complex
way, around a group of lovers,
both pretended and secret. An-
ouilh has been brought to Amer-
ican attention most recently by
