Leavenworth Dra'ma Club, The effort merits, attention primarily because of the smooth banter between the two leading characters. In a nutshell the play is about two strangers who are looking at the same vacant apartment, are locked in, and become involved.

It sounds sort of dumb when expressed in that manner, because it's really funny. But it's that easy banter that makes It fun, and it's made ensier by amazing work from Lois' Ahrens and Roger Hilton. For the most part, Hilton is the one who carries the play so well. Perhaps it's just a'matter of personal taste, but all too often actors in amateur theater groups seem to put on tremendously artificial airs when they go out on stage. How refreshing it is to hear a guy speak wjth the same rhythms and intonations that people use in everyday life.

And that is precisely why Hilton does so well. He makes the character of Paul Friedman seem alive and very real. Lois Ahrens, who plays Anne Miller, keeps the staccato flow of the lines moving well. Occasionally she becomes a bit stagey, if you know what I mean, but you have to be looking for it to notice. Together they do a fine job.

Hilton only joined the cast a week or two ago, which might explain why the pair occasionally slips away from the script. But even then, you wouldn't know unless you were reading along. If they can carry the be-1 i va bi 1 i the genuineness into the regular performances, they should draw rousing ovations every night. Interestingly, Karen Hilton, real-life wife of Roger plays his stage wife as well, but don't see her until the last few minutes of the play. Jacquie Huggins plays the Yiddish neighbor.

My own exposure is limited almost entirely to television dialects so I almost hesitate to say it; but. she sometimes seems to be almost tod Yiddish if there is such a thing. Rod Carr directs this show, and he has done a fewod job. There are some set problems which 'became apparent during the dress rehearsal, hilt he has pledged to take care of them by curtain time. Performances are slated for tonight and Saturday, as well as next Friday and Saturday nights.

The curtain goes up at 8:15 p.m. Those of you who are familiar with the post should know where Townscnd Hall is located. For the rest of us who arc not, I would suggest leaving a bit early; To get there, drive down the main drag to Grant's statue and turn left.
