The off-Broadway groups are]|
presenting some of the most |
worthwhile plays in town thesei
days and producing them with |
near-professional skill. ? |
A new group, the Players Com- |
pany, is giving an admirable pro-'
duction of Luigi Pirandello’sl
“Right You Are! (If You Think
You Are)” at the Kaufman Thea
tre. The aim of the company,
which originated at Yale Univers
ify’s Department of Drama, is “to
present in New York City great
drama seldom seen, with a cast
and staff of professional theatre
people.”
Pirandello’s play, in which he
expounds the philosophy that
there is no such thing as objective
truth, is a difficult one to preduce
successfully sinece it is philosophi- |
cal rather than dramatic, and
therefore the more credit to this
new company for its splendid pre
sentation,
Thomas Hill is outstanding as
the distraught husband Ponza who
believes his first wife is dead and
that his present wife is his second
wife. Virginia Payne gives a fine
performance as the mother who
is equally convinced that Ponza’s
present wife is his first wife, her
daughter. Among others who
turn in fine work are Boris Segal,
who is Pirandello’s mouthpiece,
and Anne Shropshire as the leader
of the gossips. Lila Paris’ direc
tion is highly capable.
“Earth Spirit”
Another Yale group, Studio 7,
which won acclaim for the quality
of its presentation of “The Father”
recently, is now giving an equally
professional performance of

CIFT FOR BEARS —~ This racing shell, gift of an Italian nobleman to the University of
California crew, is inspected by visitors after christening ceremony near Leghorn, Kaly,
“Earth Spirit,” at the Province
town Playhouse. It was written
by the German author Frank Wed
ekind, forerunner of expressionism
in the European theatre.
The play, written in the late
19th century, illustrates Wede
kind’s thesis that the actions of
human beings are motivated not
by heredity or environment but by
their natural instincts, that “the
flesh has a mind of its own.” The
play is a tragedy about Lulu, who
symbolizes the incarnation of
man’s desire, the prime force of
life, which Wedekind called “Earth
Spirit” (Erdgeist). Lulu, with
naive instinctiveness and elemen
tary forcefulness, and without
morals or conscience, attracts and
gives herself to many men and
ruins their lives.
There is Dr. Schon, the news
paper owner; Schwartz, the weak
artist; Alva, Dr. Schon’s son; Dr.
Goll, her first husband,
Margaret Feury gives a rich in
terpretation of the many-sided
role of Lula. Outstanding per
formances are given by Raikin
Ben-Ari, head of the acting de
partment of the Dramatic Work
ship, as Lulu’s father: David White
as Dr. Schon; Milton Selzer as
Schwartz; John Conwell as Alva:

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Rudolph Weiss as Dr. Goll; Ber
nard Diamond as Prince Escerny.
John Stix has staged it excellently.
Native Georgian
Ibsen’s ‘“Master - Builder Sol
ness” as presented by a new-off-
Broadway group, Repertory Thea
tre, Inc., at the Cherry Lane Thea
tre, is a strong, impressive pro
duction, ‘
John Scanlan, who plays the
lead, gives a penetrating and sen
sitive character study of the suc
cessful architect and builder who
achieves his success by sacrificing
hjs wife and children and even
tually his own happiness, and is
driven half-mad by remorse.
Miranda d'Ancona is splendid
as the vibrant and fearless young
girl Hilda who inspires Solness to
literally and figuratively climb
heights which he was once able
to achieve but now cannot. She
represents the younger generation,
whose competition Solness greatly
fears, and it is she who causes his
death by urging him to attempt
what he cannot achieve.
Marie Donnet is convincing as
the unhappy wife Aline. Winton
Sedgwick, a native of Waycross,
Ga,, who sang stellar parts with
the Atlanta Civic Opera, plays the
role of Knut Brovik, former archi-:
tect whom Selness has broken and
now employs.
Able performances are also giv- ‘
en by Henry Waldon as Ragmri
Brovik, draughtsman whom Sol
ness holds back and attempts to
stifle until Hilda intetvenes and
induces Solness to gives him an
opportunity to prove bimself; Au
drew Hilliard as Kaua. Solness’
bookkeeper, and James Arenton as
the family physician.
This version of the play is an
adaptation by Miss Donnet who
has sought to restore colloquial
color to William Archer’s previous
translation, Miss d’Ancona and
Miss Hilliard have staged the pro
duction with intelligence and in
sight.
American Premier
“Daybreak in Udi,” winner of
the recent Academy Awards for a
feature-length documentary, now
making its American premiere at
the 55th Street Playhouse, is a
fascinating and most unusual film
showing how the people of an
African tribe take steps to bring
the benefits of our civilization to
their village.
It was filmed in the bush coun
try village of Udi, “province of
Onitsha, in Nigeria, West Africa,
»by London’s Crown Film Unit. All
the players consist of natives, and
even the role of the white distriat
officer Is taker by the actual of
ficer himself.
The film shows how the mems
bers of the tribe, the Abajo Ibos,
decide to built and maintain a ma
ternity hospital, and how they
succeed in spite of the attempts of
the witch-doctors to prevent it.
Assured of the success of the hos
pital, the natives then turn thelr
attention to building a road to a
neighboring village.
Sidelights are also shown of the
natives efforts to learn English as
well as their own language. The
film also includes ritualistic
dances and tribal chants.
On the same program is a daz
zling technicolor 40-minute short,
“Drums for a Hoeliday,” about the
ceremony of the Durbar, or con
clave of chieftains, on Africa's
Gold Coast. The technicolor points
up the brilliance of the colorful
and magnificent pageantry.
Interesting Program
Hadassah and her dance com
pany presented an artistic and in
teresting program consisting of In
dian, Indonesian and Israeli dances
at the Kaufmann Auditorium re
cently, .
The Indian section included
dances based on religious myths,
a fable written by Hadassah, and
“Chant,” which signified the
brotherhood of mankind, to Gand=
hi’'s favorite song. “Indonesian
Suite” consisted of “Lament,” in
which the women of the island
remembered a loved one; “Exor
cism” danced by the men to expel
the evil that has hefallen the com
munity, and “Celebration.”
“Israeli Suite” included a spirit
ed exhibition of the hora. “Return
Oh My Soul” was a moving dance
of affirmation of faith,
Hadassah introduced a gay note
in her program with *Breadway
Hindu,” in which she eleverly and
most amusingly satirized the “ori
ental” dancing on Broadway.
As an aid to baby sitters and
for their own peace-of-mind, par
ents should leave instructions for
caring for their children. This
should include parents’ where
abouts, address and telephone
number; name and telephone of
another responsible adult provided
they cannot be easily reached;
name and telephone of doctor for
emergency calls; police and fire
department numbers. Special in
formation concerning feeding,
bathing and sleeping should also
be written down to avoid.mis
understanding.
