Director names cast; View' in rehearsal By EVERETT CUTTER Emerald Entertainment Editor “Ho far I’m very happy with t he progress we've made,” Direc tor William McGraw Maid thin week of the recent canting and j early rehearsals of the Univer sity Theatre’s forthcoming "A | View From the Bridge,” his first production since Joining Oregon's j speech department this fall. ”1 think it’s interesting to note j that two of the cast returned late due to their Pacific tour,” he con tinued, anticipating some indi- i vidual assistance In keeping the ! rehearsal pace- synchronized. Kaul St. Sure and Carl fipiegelberg, both of whom hold principal roles, returned only recently from the "Wonderful Town” overseas tour sponsored by the United Services j Organization and the American Educational Theatre Association. THE CENTRAL character of the Arthur Miller drama will be portrayed by Howard Cain, who will be remembered as Drummond in last year’s "Inherit the Wind." Miss St. Sure has been cast as Catherine, and Spieg«lberg will play Rodolpho, a Sicilian Immi grant. Other* In the cast include Anne Dennison as Beatrice, Billie Watts as Alfieri, Ed Winter as Marco, John Kliiott as Louis, Don Bar tholomew as Tony, and Louis Maxfield as Mike, Tonia Secanti is cast as Mrs. Lipari and Boyd Devin will play an immigration officer. “A View from the Bridge" is set Jn a tenement district of Brooklyn, Playwright Miller's birthplace, and its story concerns the tragic destruction of a we.V meaning longshoreman, Eddie Carbone, through his own blind passion and ignorance. “THE PLAY lull modern one," says McGraw. "It's basically realistic although done along classical lines of Greek tragedy." The producing of "A View From the Bridge" so soon after “Look Back in Anger"—many consider them similar plays was due to an unavoidable sched uling problem, the- director ex plains. “IT'S REALLY quite different, and should prove interesting for separate reasons. This is a simpler play and should not represent the psychological complexes confront ing one in Osborne's, even though the emotions are pretty bare." While Jimmy Porter was un questionably a highly dramatic character, and one for whom au Hamilton to play in Sunday recital The fourth event in this sea son’s Bach Cycle will feature John Hamilton, assistant profes . sor of organ, Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. in the school of music auditorium. Hamilton will play a harpsi chord recital consisting entirely of a complete performance of the •’Goldberg” Variation. This work, the largest composition ever writ ten for keyboard, represents Bach at the height of his powers. Mr. Hamilton has played the “Goldberg” Variations on major university campuses throughout the West, as well as a recent Los Angeles AM-FM radio perform ance, and will play at a forthcom ing complete 90-minute television recital in San Francisco.
