Crab Pot Freth" 14413 Penitentiary Show Praised As 'Smash Hit' By Margwerlte Wright SUtf Writer. The Statesman The opening performance of "Stars in Stripes" at the state penitentiary last night was a smash hit, if Broadway vernacu lar can be used to describe a March of Dimes benefit show which seemed to delight the cast as much as it entertained the au dience of 1,450 crowded into the prison auditorium. The first night atmosphere in the somber halls was authentic, even to the pre - teen - age au tograph hounds who nonplussed Master of Ceremonies James O' tTool after the show. Overlooking some evidence of initial - performance nervousness on the part of several actors, the amateurs recruited from among the inmates were a credit to their directors and to Warden George Alexander. OTool described Al exander as "A - Number - One" and mentioned the men realized fully the trust placed in them by the warden when they were per mitted to play to the public. The MC said the cast enjoyed rehearsing and presented the show because "it takes time and that s what we're trying to get rid of."

"But I made a mistake and ended up here instead of on the radio outside." he added when Inter viewed after the performance. -Caw bey Trie A cowboy trio tall and lanky Red Truitt, Woodie Woodman and Tex Del core with guitars and violin stole the show with "Roly Poly" and other western num bers.

Lotka and Donald Kemp were featured in vocal solos and were encored. Two negro men. Vocalist Theo dore Jordan, jr., and Tap Dancer Jimmy Sellers showed consider able talent and audience reaction would support OTool 's later statement that "those guys are really good." Earnest Sprague and Louis Fug en t had 'em howling with a pyr oman lac act appropri ately titled "Hot Stuff," and John Claghorn's monologue (that's no, I say. that's no Joke, son) "The Senator would have rated high on anyone s laugh meter. George (Georgia?) A. McClain, with his strip - tease impersona tion of the big house's own Mar tha Graham, brought numerous calls of "take it off from the boys in the rear. "Wacky Breadeaet" But the "Wacky Broadcast by the entire crew brought down the house. This OTool - written pa rody on radio comedians and their sponsors deserves wire-recording and rebroadcasting and must be seen to he appreciated. Wallace Crews and his 15-fnan orchestra were outstanding m "Torpedo Junction" with Freddie Bailey on the sax and trumpetman Jimmy Wilson. Hall to Reappoint Chandler to Board Gov.
