Play In Fraser Opens Winter Dramatic Season
Despite the many setbacks which befell the production staff of "White Wings" during the past month, the dramatic department turned out a finished product last night in Fraser theatre which, although it does not deserve orchids, ought to rate a puny boquet of roses.
The Little theater was half full for the first performance. The play will be repeated tonight, Thursday and Friday.
Led by Allen Crafton's characterization of the pitifully rebellious milk-toast, Ernest Inch, and Robert Calderwood's interpretation of a jovial cabby with inebriated tendencies, the cast, for the most part, made up for the weak plot of Philp Barry's fantastic comedy.
The play, set in the early part of the century, evolved around the
Inch family, whose male members had earned the bread and butter for at least three generations as "white wings." commonly known as street cleaners.
The trouble begins when Archie Inch, the last member of this family of broom pushers, falls in love with the daughter of a mechanical genius, the inventor of the horseless carriage. The backward Inches worship the horse, and Archie's love is dampened when he discovers that he is forced to choose between a life with his beloved "white wings" and horses or a life with Mary and her revolutionary ideas.
Frank Heck, a newcomer who plays the part of Archie Inch, reminds one of Jimmie Stewart and portrays his part well. Deane Butler, as Mary Todd, does a commendable bit of acting but is definitely not an expert in the love
scenes. Those who watched the practices wish that Mrs. Crafton had kept her part as Mrs. Inch, even at the expense of keeping Josie the horse speechless, for Minerva Davis who took the part last Saturday was always an octave too high.
Don Dixon, as Major Inch, remembered most of the time that he was an old man but his best work was in the expert staging of the play.
David Watermulder, president of the "Stinkers" club, a throwoff of last year's production, wasn't even a lingering odor last night, for with Al Decker and Joe Nelson, he gave his part as much justice as it deserved.
Without a doubt the department is in order for a good play with comph, but, on the other hand, the expert pontomiming by Robert Caldewood alone was worth the price of admission.
