'Why I Am A Bachelor' Wins Applause On Opening Night
"Why I Am A Bachelor," a comedy by Conrad Seiler, stole the spotlight in the lab theater's presentation of three plays Wednesday. The plays will be given again today.
Seiler's play sparkles with mirth. It is in the form of a lecture by a man telling the audience why he is a bachelor. The other two characters in the play, Henrietta and Algernon, illustrate what he is talking about.
Robert Ziesenis, college senior,
plays the lecturer whose under-
standing of marriage's afflictions
placed the first nighters in a humo-
mous mood. Shirley Strain, college
junior, plays Henrietta and Mark
Gilman, college sophomore, plays
Algernon. They effectively portray
the contrast in a couple before and
after marriage.
The receptive audience gave the cast three curtain calls.
Frank LaBan, college junior, initiated the audience's humorous mood with his playing of Mr. Redding in "Half an Hour," the lab theater's moving presentation.
though he played a minor character, LaBan's comical expressions tended to take the first nighters' minds off the play's plot.
Marjorie Englund, college freshman, plays the wife, Lady Lillian. Her expressions and voice quality are good, but she failed to clearly portray Lady Lillian's character.
"Half an Hour" is the story of a woman's unsuccessful efforts to leave her husband for another man and of her return with the husband none the wiser.
James Wallace, fine arts freshman,
plays the husband, Richard Garson.
He handles the role of the confident,
wealthy Garson well.
Especially outstanding in this production was Maree Ball, education junior, who plays Susie, a housekeeper for Lady Lillian's lover, Hugh Paton, played by Bill Dickinson.
Other members of the cast are Robert Londerholm, college junior; Patricia Blanks, education junior, and Monte Gass, college sophomore. Londerholm as the doctor who knows of Lady Lillian's relation to Paton was impressive.
"If You Can't Eat Fish Without Tenderloin," is the story of a man's revenge on the person who stole his wife. The avenger never appears in the play.
The setting is in a cheap highway restaurant and involves a conversation between a gabby restaurant owner and a graff truck driver. The avenger—the unseen third character—is the motivating element of the play. Comments about him and to him make up the brunt of the dramatic sketch.
Jack Hastings, college junior, plays the owner and Van Gillespie, business senior, the truck driver. Both did a commendable job.
"Half an Hour," by Jay M. Barrie, is directed by Kay Peters, fine arts senior; "If You Can't Eat Fish Without Tenderloin," by E. P. Conkle, is directed by Freida Sahm, education senior, and "Why I Am a Bachelor" is directed by LaBan.
Eugene Walling, college junior, is in charge of the lighting, and Joan Ketterman, education junior, is in Kcharge of makeup and prompting.
