‘Inherit’ offers unity, harmony
By MATT MEYER
CM the EnwraM
A certain feeling arises when
a large group of objects come
together and work in harmony
Basketball players, musicians
and mechanics all have felt the
feeling at one time or another
Everyone involved in last
Thursday s opening perfor
mance of Inherit The Wind
knows the feeling, too as all of
the players worked together to
produce a sensational show
The strengths of any perfor
mance lie in its acting and dir
ecting and the time that direc
tor Grant McKerme spent work
ing with his actors is evident
The product is a well-designed
machine that runs smoothly and
effortlessly
Inherit The Wind is the story
of the clash between two
lawyers — Matthew Brady (Tom
Lasswell) and Henry Drummond
(Bob Friedman) — in a legal
battle over teaching evolution in
public schools
The battle takes place in
Hillsboro a small town referred
to as "the buckle on the Bible
belt," and is filled with all the
characters you d expect to see
— the overzealous reverend
(Jerry Walker), his daughter
(Nicki Calcagno). the head
strong schoolteacher (Rob

Sackett) and other colorful
small-town characters
There is more to Inherit The
Wind than a mere legal battle,
however
The central issue is the right
of an individual to think, but
another facet of the story is the
relationship between the two
lawyers
Rachel, the reverend s
daughter must choose between
the traditional thoughts her
father represents and the
radical ideas her boyfriend the
schoolteacher is struggling
with
Lasswell and Friedman the
two leads display the harmony
that keys the play's success
Lasswell rages in righteous fury
against evil-lootion" while
Friedman pokes fun at the bias
of the town and the unwilling
ness of the townspeople to e*
amine the ideas of "this Charlie
Darwin fella "
Although their characters
compete with each other the
actors never do Lasswell and
Friedman play off each other in
a way that brings out the best of
both
The result is a pleasure to
watch And they aren't the only
ones to shine
Walker as the Reverend Je
remiah Brown puts in a phen
omenal performance as he
rants and raves as only a south
ern preacher can His energy
and delivery are as intense as an
audience can handle
The icing on the cake is
provided by Robert Barton as
Baltimore journalist E K Horn
beck Barton s eloquence is
surpassed only by his ego as he
hog-ties the townspeople with
Matthew Brady and Henry Drummond clash over teaching evolu
tion In the schools in the Carnival Theatre s current production
ropes of words His cynical
barbs are punctuated by perfect
timing On opening night he
managed to bring the house
down with every line
The one weak point in the
production is the set By re-po
sitioning wooden tables and
chairs against an ambiguous
orange backdrop, scene de
signer Jerry Williams evidently
hoped to create different sets
for different locations in the
town
Although it works at times the
technique isn't convincing dur
ing certain indoor scenes and
the resulting contusion detracts
from the action
In every other respect, how
ever harmony and balance is
achieved Lighting, costuming
timing and especially the acting
all work together to produce a
unified show
Inherit The Wind is a triumph
In it McKernie has presented a
serious relevant issue with lots
of humor to make for an en
joyable evening
Panel discusses home births
By DONALD COULTER
Ot ttt* Emerald
Medical-aid options for child
birth are significantly better
than they were just a few years
ago panelists at an alternative
birth symposium said last
Thursday
The symposium sponsored
by Home Oriented Maternity
Experience dealt with topics on
maternity care and delivery for
people seeking a home birth
HOME is a national organization
that gives support and informa
tion to those choosing this
method of childbirth
Among the panelists was
Julia Herson a practicing mid
wife in Eugene for the last six
years According to Herson
midwifes in this area have kept a
low profile until )ust recently
When I had my first child at
home in 1972. I didn't know if
midwifes were even legal she
said "Home births stayed under
the table until 1973 or '74
At that time midwifery
became more organized in
Eugene Herson said But most
midwifes were still isolated from
each other and did not freely
communicate ideas
Things didn't change until the
Oregon attorney general's of
fice legitimized the practice of
midwives four years ago Her
son said
Herson said that lay midwives
soon will be certified by the
state and because of that the
demand for home births will in
crease in the future
Another option for those who
want to have their babies out
side of a hospital is the birth
home
Irene Nielson started the
Lucinia Birth Home in Cottage
Grove in 1973, one of only four
in the country at the time She
plans to start one in Eugene in
September
According to Nielson, a birth
home provides for the total
childbirth experience " A birth
home not only offers a place for
the childbirth itself but it also
has a staff which provides in
formation on nutrition and par
enting and offers clinic support
through the first 16 weeks after
the birth
