Wood, Carroll Collaborate On Pudding '49 Production

Clement B. Wood Jr. '47, ex-Lampoon president and winner of last year's Dana Reed prize for undergraduate writing, has teamed with John J. Carroll '49 to write the book and lyrics for this year's Hasty Pudding Club show, tentatively entitled "Forever Peon." Anthony Bonner '49 will provide the music for the production, which opens March 11 at the Hasty Pudding clubhouse.

This year's show will not go on tour during vacation, but will stay in Cambridge for a two-week run. This is part of the new economizing program of President Alan F. Winslow '47 and Vice-President Benamin Gaylord '49, who plan to finance the entire production out of its own profits.

The musical will deal with "American tourists, Latin ladies, detectives, and a dictator," the Pudding reports. The locale is Anyguay, South America. It will be the one hundred and first show in Pudding hisotry.

Charles Blake, who played in "This is the Army" in 1946 and who has specialized in directing amateur shows, will direct and produce "Forever Peon." No dance director or costumer has been named as yet, since casting does not start until the spring term.
