Last night the Grinnell Plays . 1.1mm» er's production of Thornton wild- er's "The Skin of Our Teeth" went on the boards or ARH theatre The play, a diiticult one, was received by an enthw siastic audience and provided an emoyable evening oi "theatre” in spite ot obvious shortcomings. First. the play itself leaves something to be desired. it is otten "gimmicky,” sometimes re dundant, and moves in such a random manner as to render it-; self, at best somewhat contusing, at worst directionless and ob-; secure, All this is to say that the play is held together by at very thin line. Much oi the pi‘o-' ,* ductlon's weakness sprang from the seeming inability of the show to find this “line" and hold it. In addition to this, ‘Skin’ demands a certain flare of Showmanship, a quality often associated with musical corn- edy, to get off the ground 1 l 'l and keep it tlying until the , final curtain tails. No doubt the ridiculously inadequate tacilitics ot Aim restrict what can be done in this respect, inn I cant help teeling that it the play had been aproacli. ed with greater imagination on the part of everyone concern— ed that much at what was mediucre in the show would have been improved or at least covered up. The acting was tor the most part quite good, 1 was particu- larly impressed with the skill and promise of several newcom— ers to the Grinnell stage, The most accomplished lob ot act— ing was done by Gail Parish in the role of the daughter, Al- though her cart is by no means the most dilticult, she was able .Ylflhnnie Ruth Elinlondson, . 33% 1, Jim Fisher, Connie Bergen andl‘ ,Blarty Cooper play their roles in Wilder's drama, “The Skin of ‘ Our Teeth." ,Reports Heald’ At SC Meeting l by rain Samuel.

She brought a tresh and deighttul tyle to the play and operated with a poise which was lacking in many of the oth- er actors.
