Marli Tobin, Scribe Vanguard Theater Troupe Gives Professional' Interpretation Of Williams Glass Menagerie Following the Flag AUTHORIZED SERVICE FOR G-E Radios-Stereo Phonographs and Electric Blankets TV-RADIO SERVICE RAGAN 408 N. Main By Richard Weaver The Missouri Vanguard Theatre, in conjunction with the Missouri State Council on the Arts, the Nodaway Arts Council and the Nodaway Community Theater presented Tennessee Glass Tuesday night. One of Williams best known, it is produced more often then any of his other plays, and it is, in fact, one of the most popular plays in American literature. Glass is about Amanda Wingfield, uprooted from plantation life in the Mississippi Delta and deserted by her husband. The play is about Tom Wingfield, her son, who is trapped in a dreary job, tortured by his incessant drive and dreams of escaping the sordid tenement life by running away like his father.

The play is about Laura, the crippled daughter, delicate, fragile, unable to cope with the real life of schools and typing classes who finds a more pleasant life by escaping into an unreal world of glass figurines. The play is about Jim whose life briefly touches the lives of the Wingfields and brings a moment of light, a moment of reality and happiness to the Wingfields. Director Doubles as Actor The Vanguard cast, under the capable direction of James Assad, brought this play to life tenderly and vividly for the Maryville audience. Assad, doubling as actor-director, played the role of Tom, the tortured dreamer who finally escapes the oppressing family life with his mother by running away only to discover he cannot run far or fast enough to escape the pain of his memory of Laura. performance was marked by an ease and fluidity that is the mark of a well trained actor.

His resonant voice, his body control, his subtle gestures ail become subser- viant to his will as he brought the character to life. Acting must be a self hiding art if it is to be good. That is; the better an actor is at his craft, the less obvious his techniques. Using this as a criteria, we would say performance was excellent. His character was natural and unrestrained, as it should be.

There is more to acting than hiding technique though. Well written characters are much more than two dimensional cartoons. A rich character in a play has many twists and turns to his personality; and. certainly, in we are dealing with four of the richest best written characters in American drama. In portraying the role of Amanda Wingfield, Harriet Levitt projected some of the facets of the personality beautifully.

Miss Levitt portrayed petty Southern vanity, her relentless drive, her contemptible conventionality, the main character traits of Amanda. But Amanda, as a character, is more than vanity, drive and conventionality. She has to be charming and graceful and, beneath a sham exterior of bravado, she has to be tender and sensitive. These character traits were not projected clearly. And this is strange too because Harriet Levitt, off-stage, is charming and Airman Larry Rowlett, son of Mr.

and Mrs. John Rowlett, Maitland, is spending a leave with his parents, after completing security police training at Lackland Air Force Base, Tex. Following his leave, Rowlett will report to the Francis E. Warren AFB, Cheyene, for further training. He was met in Kansas City by his parents and Miss Karen Jones, Skidmore.

10 Miners Given Up For Dead 'Everybody Has a Difference' In a touching scene from "The Glass Menagerie," Richard Calvin, left, as The Gentleman Caller, tells Laura, played by Miss Carol Pfander, right, that everybody has a difference, so she shouldn't feel so self-conscious about Standing in the center rear Is Hcwrfet Levitt in the role of the mother, Amanda. The play was presented by Missouri Vanguard Theater Tuesday evening in the Charles Johnson Theater. graceful and tender and sensitive. Miss Pfander Is Exquisite Laura was played by lovely Carol Pfander, a UMKC graduate. She played the role as an exquisitely shy girl, as vuner- able as the glass animals she cherished, wincing, withdrawing, expecting to be hurt and then, for a moment, as the Gentleman Caller warmed to her reaching forward in tentative hope.

Miss Pfander played the role wdth remarkable grace. The Gentleman Caller in this production was portrayed by Richard Calvin, also a talented graduate of UMKC. Too often this role is played as a brash, energetic personality. Calvin, under the direction of Assad, played the role with a beautiful casualness, with a light touch that became remarkably complimentary to Miss Laura. Calvin gave the illusion he was a real character moving in a world of dream characters, which was very appropriate.

Too often following a performance by an amateur group, be it junior high school, high school, college, or community theater, well-wishing theater lovers pay what has become, they feel, the supreme tribute to the local talent by saying the production and performances were This is unfortunate. When a group comes to town that has the training, the experience, the dedication, the sensitivity, the artistry that only comes through total commitment, we have no word to describe the difference between them and the local amateur groups. Our local junior high school recently presented M. S. but these were very young students.

The high school presented this spring a very sensitive production of Miracle but these were high school students portraying grownups. The college presented a touching production of but these were young actors who are just learning their craft. The Community Theater presented an exciting production of Three but these were business and professional people who approach acting as a hobby. Director Has Credentials It is taking nothing away from any of these groups to say that the production of Glass was a cut above them all. Glass was produced by a director whose impressive credentials include study at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

It was acted by LAST RITES HELD FOR EARL ARCHER Last rites were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Maitland Methodist Church for Earl Richard Archer, Maryville, who died Sunday. The Rev. Charles Stigers and the Rev. R.

Those who were fortunate enough to see it had a profound theatrical experience. Those who missed the production missed far more than they realized.

Stewart rejected the charge, saying there is a health hazard from cigarets w'hich the public should know about.

After a frantic night oi rumors and false alarms that rescue of 15 or 25 trapped miners was imminent, rescue workers reported today that they were within about 600 feet of the miners. II. E. Sundstrom, director of the rescue operations, said the water level in the mine had receded enough to enable foreman Frank Davis and Bot Rudd who had been ma rooned at another location tc rejoin a group of 13 other miners one-half mile closer to the entrance if they wished. A group of 10, deeper in the mine is presumed dead.

The group of 13 men was located about a mile inside the tunnel, where they were trapped Monday noon when water cascaded through the entire mine after a wall to an adjacent abandoned, and flooded, mine was pierced.
