CRITIC ATTENDS OPENING George Freedley, theatrical critic for the New York Morning Telegraph is shown with his host, Richard North Gage (right), at a cocktail party given at Gage's home yesterday as Freedley and a number of other out of town guests were in the city to attend th opening of the Community Theatre's presentation of the 'Hasty As a member of the board of governors of the American National Theatre and Academy, Freedley stressed the idea that the professional theatre and the community theatre must work together for the common good of the legimate art.

"Hasty Heart" Wins Acclaim As Outstanding Performance CAST OF CHARACTERS Orderly William R. Brockman Yank Robert W. DeCost Digger Donald Sheaffer Kiwi Marry Perrigo Blossom Joseph L. Anderson Tommy Ronald Betz Margaret Gladys Swift Colonel Paul C. Moser Lachlen Harlan Wilbert i By Ted Reed "The Hasty Heart," the Harris burg Community Theatre's 125th production, which opened Satur day night at the Jewish Com munity Centre Auditorium and will continue to play nightly this week through Thursday, can truly be classed among the finest per formances ever staged by this group.

As a play, it is somewhat reminiscent of the Theatre's 1938 production of "Yellow Jack," with its all male cast except for one nurse and its military hospital setting. In this play, however the locale is a British hospital behind the Assam Burma front, instead of the Cuban setting of the earlier play. To anyone familiar with the remarkable stage sets usually acter types encountered in His Majesty's forces during the recent war, but for the record, and in justice to the Scotsmen who us ually ranked high in favor with most Americans overseas, let it be noted here that the character of Lachlen MacLaughlin cannot by any means be classed as a "typi cal" Scot. This role, so capably portrayed by Harlan Wilbert, a newcomer to the theatre, represents a bitter, maladjusted, lonely boy who had grown up 'hating everything he could not possess except his pride." Wilbert development of this character with his gradual change of mind under the influence of his hearty companions in the. ward, certainly constitutes one of the finest individual performances ever seen on that stage.

But the entire cast is excep tionally good Robert W. DeCost, as the happy go lucky AFS am bulance driver who objects to be ing called ''Yank" because he is from Georgia; Gladys Swift, as the charming nurse; Paul C. Moser, as "Old Cobwebs," the aloof British colonel, and, of course, the boys in the ward: Harry Perrigo, as the tall New Zealander who says that when ever he gets into bed, his feet stick out so, (hat "the mosquitoes think it's a blood bank; Donald Sheaffer, as a likable Aussie elated over the news from home that he has a son; Ronald Betz, as a somewhat irritating British type. and Joseph L. Anderson as the inarticulate Basuto soldier home sick for his tribe.

It is a play which offers many lively and amusing incidents against a background 'of tragedy, and one which is skillfully written and artfully presented in this Colonial Tea PlannedFeb.14 1 txtgr The members of the Afternoon Story League wiM entertain at their annual Colonial Tea on Saturday, February 14, from 2.30 to 4 o'clock at the home of the Historical Society of Dauphin County.

DEAR MARIAN, The four days in New York I my midwinter theatre orgy were crowded with excitement six plays, two movies and four dinner parties what more could I ask! Saturday I wrote you about some of the extra curricular happenings of those four days, and today, you are to hear about the plays.

First of all, I scarcely land in New York, until I see my friend. John S. McBride, head of the Me Bride Theatre Ticket Agency, to' whom I had written a short time in advance telling him the plays I wished to see. 'When I arrived at the agency, Mr. McBride had every ticket ready for me, all of them second or third row center except the one for "Street Car Named Desire," so very hard to find.

However, Mr. McBride found one of the coveted tickets to that show, a grand seat and fortunately, no "giraffe" tall man sat in front of me! Mr. McBride, perhaps you re call, wrote to Campbell Smith of the Keith Prowse Agency in Lon don, bespeaking for me the won derful service which was mine when, through Mr. Smith's kind ness, I saw four hits of the season last 'September. Mr.

Smith also wrote Mr. Mc Bride a most flattering letter about me which now is filed in the scrapbook of the trip. We began with George Bernard Shaw's "Man and Superman" and, while I had a degree of admiration for the drama, I was not one of those who "rolled in the aisle" in an ecstacy of amusement over the wit of the play. At the risk of seeming to be a moron, I found it verbose and long winded. Of course, Maurice Evans is wonderful, though he cannot overcome the Shakespearean manner of enunciation, but he is so goodlooking that we women can forgive him almost anything.

But as a woman of the vintage of the Gay Nineties and the early Nineteen Hundreds, I just know we did not flutter and teeter from one end of the room to the other as did Frances Rowe as Ann Whitefield and she was no fairy of weight. Well, maybe they did that in London! "Allegro" was the only musical play on the list, and I enjoyed it tremendously. The background story which began in 1905 when "Joseph Taylor, was born, is told by a group of singers reminding one of the Chorus of the old Greek plays. I didn care so much for their costumes, but the singing was beautiful and was most "Joseph Taylor, the son of a young doctor, in a small town, grows up with the thought of following the footsteps of his father's profession. He has a best girl, they are married and as his life progresses, the girl is determined that he shall move to a big city, and a big hospital, where he finds himself left with none of the ideals in which he has grown up.

His return to the small town where he can be of infinite service, builds itself into a most satisfactory end ing Agnes de Mille, originator and director of the dancing has done a marvellous accomplishment, highlights of the production. John Battles is a fine "Joseph Taylor, and is supported by an excellent cast topped, in looks, to my mind by Lisa Kirk, as Emily, who sings "The Gentleman is a Dope." Among the other good musical numbers are "One Foot, Other "You Are Never "What a Lovely Day for the Wedding," "Money Isn't Everything" and "Come Home." "Antony and Cleopatra" is "one of those stupendous Shakesperean productions which Guthrie Mc Clintic can stage and Katharine Cornell can act to the highest degree. With Godfrey Tearle, the noted British actor as Antony, the play, from beginning to end is a of beauty, and is Tearle, by the way, is the "Spit an' image" of F.D.R. The expressive settings, the mu sic of the text and the superb acting, leave one tense and excited, and the play is one of the MUSTS of the season, as you have heard many times. Need I say more? "The Winslow Boy" was a source of great delight and interest.

Based on the historic case of a boy falsely accused of forgery, but apparently unable to prove his innocence, he is backed for several years by his father, who, spending everything he can spare, even his daughter's dowry and eventually her love affair, and his elder son's Oxford degree, brings about a fair trial before the Brit ish Admiralty. The boy is played with refresh ing naturalness by Michael New ell program notes say that he was chosen $. om 200 youngsters the father by Alan Webb; the daughter, by Valerie White and the solicitor who seems, when he is examining Ronnie, the boy. to be as austere as the severest of prosecutors, by Frank Allenby. He does warm up when he tells the beautiful daughter Catherine, that he found it hard to hold his attention in the trial when he saw her wearing an "enchanting hat." The ending leaves one with the promise that a romance will develop in the coming months! "A Street Car Named Desire" is one of the outstanding plays of the present season, written by Tennessee Williams, whose "Glass Menagerie" caused such a sen sation about a year ago.

The underlying theme is a char acterization by a woman of the decadent Southern aristocracy, as was the part played by the late Laurette Taylor in "Glass Menagerie." The setting is a shabby apart ment in poorer part of the French Quarter of Orleans, and into1 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, Harrisburg. Monday, February 2. 1948 13 this home of a young man and his wife, comes a neurotic sister, who is at her very last extereme of poverty and lure. The play is tense and sad, full of realism and is one for which seats are almost impossible to get. Of notable effect is the atmospheric music as the orchestral background.

I find myself at a loss to give you an adequate impression of the play so try to see it for yourself. To me, the finest play, the most absorbing drama, was "Command Decision," with Paul Kelly in the leading" role. That play alone was worth the trip to New York. The trouble caused by interfer ence by superior officers, who are intent on impressing the higher ups with their military prowess and acumen, and by Congressmen determined to further the inter ests of their favorite sons and to keep their constituents happy, then combine these with the tra gedy which a commanding officer must feel when he knows too well that the highly necessary "stitch" on which he sends his men will result in an appalling loss of life, and you have what John Mason Brown wrte in his review of this play "To die young and unfulfilled is terrible, but to live with the knowledge that you have been responsible for the death of these same young and unfulfilled must be also terrible. I could not help thinking, too, of what Mr.

Brown quotes from Allen Michie who wrote of Gen eral Eisenhower, when on the morning of Day, June 5, he. an nounced to his staff "All right, we move, "the Supreme Com mander, was the last to leave the room. He was walking heavily and those who saw him later remarked that each of the eight stars on his shoulders seemed to weigh a ton. I was deeply moved by this Play.
