"Three Angels" Entertaining
But Terribly Inconsistent
A tremendously entertaining yet
terribly inconsistent (production of
MY THREE ANGELS opened the
drama season at Southwestern Uni-
versity Tuesday night.
The play, a farce by Sam and
Bella Spewack, was staged in the
• round by Drexel Riley. The direc-
v tion gave the play many of its en-
tertaining qualities, but in several
scenes timing was off and the pace*—
necessary for good farce—slowed
down.
But perhaps it is unfair to blame
timing on the director. Much of the
blame belongs to the individual act-
ors, who,, from time to time, seem-
ed to forget their purpose in being
a part of a YChcifa” scene.
Overall I’::, cx excellent.
■ , But no ipdivw ] J. through' his
role wMhbwi T ‘ i some rough
spots—but „.3 ' are small and
usually easily forgotten,
i Joe McCoride carried much of the
acting load on his shoulders, as did
Angus Hendrick and George Spd-
vili (D.R.). All three gave interest-
ing portrayals, and each ope was
- mils landing lor different reasons. . _
Joe delighted the audience with
Isis facial expressions. He moved
easily through the part in a quite
comfortable style, interrupted only
when he put too much dun into
his gesturing and when he over-
played a scene, thus destroying
some of its effect. Too, he mixed
“dialects”. Sometimes he was for-
eign, sometimes American, some-
times......we're not sure.
Angus was better on timing, but
he lacked projection in places. He
glided through Ids role with little
interruption, and, thanks to the play-
wright, he was given some of the
better serious lines of the play. One
cf Iris best speeches stated: “And
when I finally stumbled on reality,
I killed it.”
Mr. Spelvin added to one of the
play’s problems of inconsistency. He
spoke in a “dialect” which seemed
to combine Southern United States
with something, but nothing as for-
eign as the play suggested. But other
than mixed dialect, Spelvin. was tre-
mendous, possibly tire greatest
strength of the play. Hig feel for
timing was superior, and his ability
to play a scene for all its worth
made his appearance on the stage
welcomed by tire audience.

Ann Ailloway, playing Mme. Pa-
role, turned in one of the most com-
sistant performances. Also one of
the best. She was deliciously repul-
denr Indy
herself and her liquor.
Bob Neubauer had many fine mo-
ments during the evening, but his
portaryal of Paul was never ttye

same. Paul was a weakling at first,
then a tower of strength, though
leaning a bit, and then something
worse than a weakling.
Three newcomers to the South-
western stage did a much more than
adequate job in adding to the suc-
cess of the opening night perform-
ance. .Jan Smith was a charming
Marie Louise; Shelia Ramsey was
sure and easy as Emilie Ducotei;
and John Murreel reached near per-
fection as the somewhat “pansified”
Henri Trochard.
Rounding out the cast were Van
Phillips as Felix Ducotei and David
Scott as the Lieutenant. Van was
a bit hard to hear at times, but
his performance was strong and
convincing. David appeared' far too
little for us to make a judgement.
The play bad many fine scenes
and many excellent lines. The scenes
with Miss Alloway were particular-
ly good). As for lines, the audience
enjoyed, “The girl’s a cow, but
she’11 give milk,” and others. (If
you’ve seen the play you remember
some lines; if you haven’t seen it,
we don’t want to spoil your enjoy-
ment.)
Costumes were good, and the set
was outstanding. The production
staff, working under Drexel Riley,
Angus Springer (producer), and Bob
Neubauer (assistant director), de-
serves considerable credit for add-
ing to the merit of the show.
Tbnight is the last night to see
the play. — the story of three con-
victs who help make Christmas a
time of true excitement and merri-
ment. Reservations have gone fast,
but there may be room — maybe —
if you hurry.
It’s Svorth seeing just for the en-
joyment it brings.
By tile way — the Goosetree Mor-
gan award should go to Adolph!

Th night is filled: with never end-
ing darkness. The silence is deaf-
ening. A muted voice cries out of
foe stillness.
A figure appears from the dark-
ness. The indiscemable murmuring
continues. The figure staggers a few
more steps and then falls as if dead.
We leave our place of warmth
and security. We run .across the fro-
zen ground to where the body lies
•in quieseense. We stand looking,
listening for a dying whisper.
Finally he says, “Only fifty-two
Shopping days ’till Christmas.”
