Jim Bronson, EHS Choir Add To Success of rGreen Pastures' By LejEUNE GRIFFITH James Bronson as “de Lawd” and the Eugene high a capella choir un der Glenn Griffith shared honors in the Horace W. Robinson production April 19 of “The Green Pastures.” Bronson handled his difficult role with simplicity and sincerity, two essentials of the character of Marc Connelly’s Negro "Lawd.” The choir was a happy addition to the production. Spirituals were rendered with the precision of a much smaller group than the 125 voice choir. Only once were the p ayers’ voices inaudible due to the singing. The darkness between the scenes was less noticeable because of the music. Clifton G. James as Pharaoh came closer to playing his role in t -rms of the deep south Negro than others in the cast. There was a lack of attempt by most of the actors at imitating characteristic speech patterns and movements of the southern Negro. The southern white ' was more closely resembled—due in Phi Kappa Sig Initiates at UW Twenty-two University men were | initiated into Phi Kappa Sigma in ' a special ceremony at the Univer sity of Washington chapter of the fraternity in Seattle last Saturday. The representation of the Univer sity in the fraternity will complete the Phi Kappa Sigma chain of west ern chapters, which extends from Vancouver, British Columbia to Los Angeles, California. The local chapter which will soon I ‘ccive its charter was organized 1 largely through the efforts of Dr. Frank G. Black, associate professor ! of English, and Glenn F. Sweeney, veterans’ adviser. Men who were initiated in Seattle are Robert M. Allen, William Dale Anderson, Gordon W. Burbee, James B. Cassell, Donald M. Cassell, Edward F. Coles, Oliver G. Deutsch mann, Arthur B. Elbon, Vernon F. Flake, David R. Goss, Wilbur E. L u’sen, Eugene C. Mallicoat, Fred j A. Matthias, James R. McLeod, Keith R. Murphy, Jack C. O'Dell, Ronald O. Phillips, James W. Pratt, Robert O. Reeves, Walter B. Van Ol den, Gordon E. Wilson, and Allan L. Zurflueh. part to the pale make-up which made actors look almost white un der the lights. Robert D. Over as Noah was con vincing in his role as the second father of mankind. Alan Foster played Moses with the tenderness and feeling of a humble man. One of the play’s fine scenes was the ascension of Moses after being left behind by the children of Israel. Marie Di Loreto and Lee Sieveke as the Biblical vamps, Zeba and Cain’s girl, handled their parts well. Anne McGeorge added much life to the Babylonian night club scene with her slave dance. The pace of the play was slow. The delay in picking up cues and extra long dramatic pauses, rather than the slowness of southern speech, was responsible for much of the loss of proper tempo. j There were several exceptional | scenes in the play. The scene in I Pharaoh’s court was an audience i favorite. Other fine scenes were the \ meeting of Adam and Eve, “de i Lawd’s” renunciation of his people, the defense of the temple by Hez drel, and “de Lawd’s” debate with Himself as to visiting the earth af ter His having renounced the chil dren of Israel. The stage crew under Edwin L. Clark is due much praise for the difficult job of adequately handling | such a large production. Costuming honor's go to Marilyn Wherry, and the stage design class is due ap plause for the sets. That a play of such magnitude was attempted should be cause for rejoicing by all who like fine enter tainment; that it was highly suc cessful should be a source of pride to all who were connected with the production.
