DORSET CALLAGIIAX Free Press Music and Drama Critic The approach of summer turns the attention inevitably to vacation time, and as far as this column is concerned, to the summer play-house throughout Michigan. V.

f'' 4 w-. 'j- I 'i Jsrii i Vf fV rijfp: s. Mrs. Margaret Tracy roles of the 10 plays to begin June 27. Amon? presentations will be 'The Tender Trap." "Our Town," "Country Girl," "Sab-rina Fair," "Time of the Cuckoo," "Othello." "Dark of the Moon" and "Seven Year Itch." A LITTLE THEATER that will employ local talent has been organized at Ludington, with a summer series to start Bonanza Bill Puzzle (35) April 15; Marguerite Shaw "I can't believe it! Is this a joke? Wonderful!" was the way she put it when I called her.

My eardrums may never be the same. "THE $200 prize looks very good to me," she said. "I'm going to put it in the bank. There are a lot of places to put money these days. "And I'm glad I won before my husband did.

I've been working your puzzles since they started. Recently he began to work them, too, and insisted he was going to win." Mrs. Tracy sent in six entries for last week's contest the limit, MOST of the contestants had trouble with 17 across, which was tomb; 10 down, see; nine down, talks, and seven across, grape. Since I had a winner this week, the jackpot stays at $200. Like Mrs.

Tracy, you can send in as many as six entries. Taste each entry on the back of a postcard and mail before the deadline Tuesday midnight 'sim lor 1-1 fpj i a 5 A. i 9R A STTM 2j Is 1 lb ro iIrT- -r e. College Dean Plays Role in 'Pajama Game' Miss Marguerite Shaw, dean of students at American University, Washington, D. will play Mabel, the harassed bookkeeper, in "The Pajama Game," opening April 23 at the Shubert Theater.

Her sister, Reta Shaw, created the role, and that has considerable bearing on the temporary transition of Dean Shaw from custodian of college morals and manners to a soft-shoe routine on stage. SHE MOVED into the role when Reta went to Hollywood to appear in "Picnic." Marguerite got an indefinite leave and moved to New York to study the role. Dean Shaw insists that the transition was not so difficult as it may seem. It's a relief to have only herself to look after, instead of a school full of enthusiastic youth. "Pajama Game" will be staffed in singing and dancing roles by a cast headed by Fran Warren, Larry Douglas and Buster West.

The plot of the musical concerns the employes of a pajama factory who sweat out a strike in "Hernando's This season three of season three of nine theaters in resort centers of west Michigan will have turned to theater-in-the-round for the presentation of their annual programs.

Wingspread. a new venture at Colon in the Three Rivers-Sturgis area, will present 10 plays headed by Hollywood professionals, beginning June 25. FOR THOSE who prefer the conventional proscenium stage production, there is a playhouse convenient to nearly every resort center. Most successful of these ventures is the Barn Theater at Augusta, conducted by Jack R.agotzy and his wife, Betty Ebert, who devote their talents to Broadway and TV work in the winters. The Barn will open June 12, a week earlier than other years, with a 14-week program that will include the new "Bus Stop," "Tea and Sympathy," "Lunatics and Lovers," "Anniversary Waltz," "The Flowering Peach" and "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" A revival of A Streetcar Named Desire" and a musical, either "South Pacific" or "Annie Get Your Gun," are also planned.

Other established playhouses of west Michigan are the Sister Lakes Theater, midway between Benton Harbor and Dowagiac; the Red Barn, popular at Saugatuck for several seasons; Petoskey Summer Playhouse, at Petoskey, and the new Little Theater at Lud-ington. THE SISTER LAKES Playhouse, at Highway M-152 and Sister Lakes Road, will open June 27 for its fourth season under Lucelle and Jack Goring.
