He led a colorful, romantic life full of intrigue, but his last days were equally full of sadness because of the death of his son and the elopement of his daughter. De Vega died in August, 1635, and his death occasioned a na tional mourning in Spain.

Of the remarkable number of plays he left behind, "Fuente Ovejuna" is considered de Vega's masterpiece, a work entirely deserving of the recognition it will get as part of tlie University's Fine Arts Festival. Single admission tickets for the show, which leads off the UT drama season, are now on sale at the Music Building boxoffice. The boxoffice is also handling sea son tickets, good for admission to all five drama department pro- uucuons on uie imm-w bill. Real Estate Signs Stolen Thieves are playing mean tricks on Austin real estate dealers these days. "For sale" signs have been dis appearing from properties listed for sale by the brokers Joe Perrone, president of the Austin Real Estate Board, said members have complained that the signs have been taken off properties in various sections of the city, particularly in several new additions in the northwestern part of the city.

As art of Tlie University of TW Arts Festival, the UT drama department will observe the 400th anniversary of Spanish Playwright Lope de Vega's birth with a production of de Vega's "Fuente Ovejuna. The play will be presented Nov. 7-10 in Hogg Auditorium as the drama department's traditional contribution td the 25th annual fine Arts Festival. Widely acclaimed as the greatest Spanish dramatist, de Vega also ranks among the 'most prolific writers of all time, having at least a thousand plays to his credit. In addition, the Madrid-born playwright reconsidered the founder of the Spanish theater, and Dr.

Francis Hodge, who is directing this de Vega play on the 'campus, points out that it is significant that such an outstanding contributor to the world's theater should now be appropriately recognized. De Vega adopted the style of cfexas JO. a lbtn wniury ai me re-ginning 01 nis tarfr as wwiri. ouu- ject that would furnish a dramat- ic situation became the frame work for a play, and his plots as in "Fuente Ovejuna" were borrowed particularly from history. He write in haste, once confessing that "More than a hun dred of my comedies have taken only 24 hours to pass from my brain to the boards of the thea ter." His popularity with the theater going public, however, was tremendous.

It was observed during the height of his career that no other contemporary playwright "was willingly heard on the stage." De Vega's writings weren't lim ited to plays. His non dramatic works fill 20 volumes and include pics, novels, lyric writing and critical essays. Scholars have found it hard to imagine that de Vega had time to produce such a vast output Doors Open 2 P.M.

One night, after he takes a savage beating, a doctor peers into his glassy, badly cut eyes and gives his manager a grim verdict: "Couple of good solid rights to that eye and you can buy him a tin cup and some pencils.

That's it, Maish. No more. Tell him to buy a scrap-book." But Maish, the manager, hates to tell him. For one thing, it's the only thing this unschooled, ignorant pug knows how to do. For another, he's completely dependent on his manager and regards him as probably his best friend.

Even more important, he seems to be the only thing between Maish and some ugly gangsters threatening him over a gambling bet. An employment counselor, sensing what's at stake, attempts to get him a job at a boys' camp, offering him some even more necessary human affection to help him hold onto a shred of dignity. But Maish, now desperate for quick money, makes a deal for the boxer to turn wrestler and tricks him out of landing the camp job. A basically honest man whose pride comes from always having given his best, the fighter balks at playing phony wrestler in an Indian costume. When he realizes that the manager is frantically trying to save his own skin, though, and has even sold him out, he stoically climbs into the wrestling ring, exposing himself to the ultimate degradation but perhaps maintaining a spark of nobility, at least within himself.

Congroia HI 2-9161 In New York Anstinite Is Praised By Critic Edwin Doveny, a former Aus-tinite now making a notable reputation as. a concert pianist, has earned some fresh praise from New York music critics following his Carnegie Hall concert last! week. Reviewing the concert in the New York Times, Raymond Eric son found that the young pianist "fortunately showed the same virtues and fewer of the defects that were characteristics of his first appearance. "Mr.

Deveny's straightforward style, strong ringing tone and in telligent feeling for proportion were outstanding in his perform ance of Beethovens Sonata in wrote the Times critic. "This moved along with a steady pace and shapeliness of form that gave it cohesion and emotional direct ness. "These factors also made his readings of three Chopin Etudes in minor and A minor -unusually interesting, with their concentration on pattern rather than color. "The pianist loosened up for three of Rachmaninoff's Etudes Tableaux, which had both more expressiveness and more rhyth mic bite than elsewhere, and the results were first class." Critic Ericson noted that drew a full house to Carnegie Hall although playing et the same time that the visiting Philadelphia Orchestra was per forming under Otto Klemperer. 1 Amy pot a Atom DISCOUNT CARD NOW SHOWING Features Thay couldn't truth HEAWEIGIIT aXJKWKTUBSIWUS CHILD 25 NOW SHOWING Features i NOW SHOWING Features: COMPANY presents Released thru UNITED ARTISTS He's ou the MiXED-Up Side Alt I nwn i jHTntts ONLY ADULT TICKCTS -u.

The couple was convicted of killing Houston real estate dealer Fred A. Tones last year. The court had upheld the death sentences June 20.

Ashley and Miss Lima contended the court was in error for not reversing the trial court over details of a telephone conversation between Tones and his wife, and the fact that Mrs. -Tones cried out during the trial. The couple was convicted for killing Tones during what the court described as a "perverted, three-way act of sexual deviation." HEGMAN'S R.
