The enact- ment at Tennessee Williams' mo- dern classic fully merited the [re mendous reception given it by the Grinnell audience. l-ieniy - York Steiner’s (English) direction or the play was often subtle and imagin- atlve, The play began at a last pace—— tun last, I fell, for the audience to achieve an emphatic under- standing of the action. The acting throughout the (list part was good but one was never really allowed to become deeply involved in the pathos of each character’: situa- tion. Thus some parts of the play seemed more comic than Wil- liams probably intended them. Cab tainly the scene between Tom and Laura after Torn comes home from a night or drinking is funny. But one laughs, ithink, on the wrong side of one's race. Aman- da‘s “rise and Shine," is comedy with a pathetic note. Pace Slowed The pace slowed down atter in. termlssion and we were given richer and more subtle characteris zation. The action rose smoothly to the ClimaXvihe scene between Laura and the gentleman caller— and we experienced a tremendous sense of loss at Laura's disillus- ionment. Tom's poetic ending leit its with a Vivid impression of the oppressive sorrow ielt by all the characters. Certainly the most effective as- pect of the production, besides the acting, was the music. The nos- talgic (one could almost say “camp") jazz train the dance hall and Laura's record player went far toward establishing the domin- ant mood of the play. Yet i was puzzled by other or Steiner's technical effects. The sign over the lire escape seemed gimmicky and superfluous. At times, the illumination DI the pic- ture ot the father distracted from the play. The lights were a hit too dim during some scenes but the lighting of other scenes was superb, particularly the scene be- tween Laura and the gentleman callers Bothered by Set i was bothered by the set. While it may be argued that the baseboards deiine the acting area much more clearly than the lights ever could. I see no reason to erect wooden rods between the floor Ind ceiling to define wall space. In hisjirst narrative speech Tom says that this play will give us the “reallty of illusion." Both the baseboards and the wooden rods push the play toward the “il- lusion or reality." But this is quibbling, Such minor detects become practically insig- niticant when compared to the ef- fectiveness of the acting. Steiner must be applauded tor his excel~ lence in casting. The physical characteristics and voice qualities at each actor seemed to match perfectly the role that each por- trayed. Ken Hicks gave us a suit-spoken, sensitive Tom. I would have liked to have seen more bitterness and frustration in his interpretation of the role; however, Ken's quick, nervous movements eliectively dis- played Tom‘s uncomfortable situa- tion. On the Whole, an admirable performance. Mother important Amanda, the mother, is the most important character in the Exchange Column Roosevelt U. Newspaper Stall Quits; Administration Moves Cause Rebellion The Roosevelt Torch. newspaper of Roosevelt University, Chicago, lllinois, has suspended operations due to animosities between its stall and the administration. The incident which touched off the suspension was an "arbitrary" decision by the University Control- ler to refuse the staff permission to stay late in the building com- posing their issue on a Friday night. The start was pushing it~ selt to complete a twenty - eight page paper by Friday night and had already stayed in the building until midnight and 1:00 am. on previous nights. However, on Friday night alter the staff refused to leave at 10:30 and permission had not been granted {or them to remain, a po- lice escort was sent by the admin- istration to evacuate them, The staff was escorted out and conse- quently the paper was not coni- pleted until Saturday night. The Torch stall became in- censed to such a degree that they will not publish the paper unless the administration meets these demands: (1) The editor, business manager, and production manager selected by the staff; (2) a for- mal judicial system be established for processmg grievances against the Tamil; (3) the Torch be al- luwed access to all administrative and iaculty committees and all University documents be opened tor paper's inspection; (4) that the Torch eventually become com- pletely autonomous from the Ulti- versity through a corporation; and (5) that only the student govern» ment have the authority to ap- prove Torch deticit and repayment plans.

Karyn Zimmerman did an outstanding job in this key role, Her characterization, especially in the second part, was nearly excel- lent. Every voice inilection, every gesture was right. I felt that her action throughout was well motivat- ed and thus, finally, depressingly believable. Karyn’s ettecilveness was aided by excellent costuining. A heavy maroon sweater hanging loosely trom her shoulders poign- antly clashed with her southern- belle airs. Debbie Abbott, who portrayed Laura, gave an effective charac- terization of a terribly shy per- son. Especially noteworthy, I think. is her good sense or tim- ing. Perhaps Laura's nervousness was overacted in a few placer, but never to the extent that she became unbelievable. _‘ The part of Jim, the gentleman caller, was played by Chuck Bums. I agree with Chuck's inteF pretatlon of this role: Jim is I nice guy but he's also a jerk. Chuck handled his part easily and, with the exception of when he kissed Laura, his performance was quite good. I thank Steiner. his cast and his hardworking crew tor an- enjoy-/ able night at the theatre. A Broad- way critic might have called the performance “brilliant and com- pelling): So do i.
