Death of Salesman Rated Best of Pentacle Efforts By MAXINE ll'REN Stalrsmaa Staff Writer "Death of a Salesman." which opened at the Pentacle Playhouse last night and will continue through finished production the Pentacle I've seen them all The entire, cast, handled their parts with smoothness not usually found in amateur groups and Mar garet Ringnalda's direction could n't have been better. The plot revolves around Willy Loman a salesman, always a far less important man than he thought and now a failure. Though his family sees the story in the present, Willy and the audience are aware of his thoughts of the past the people he knew, the things he did. Only at the final moment does time really become now. George Harding, as tired, aging Willy was obviously at ease in the character, and gave a con fident performance in the exacting role. A newcomer to the Pentacle Players, Harding is on the faculty at OCE. Sheila Laue as Linda, the under standing wife who shields and protects her disturbed husband was as usual, well cast and effi cient Mac Baker as Biff the son who loved his father too much to get along with him, played this emo tional part with a smoothness un expected In a newcomer to the stage. Mac is a Willamette stu dent, and appeared In a small singing part in "Kiss Me Kate" this spring. The pert of Happy, the second son wss ably taken by Paul Baker and C. Elmer Spencer appeared as Charlie, always at hand to grudgingly offer a helping hand. Brief appearances of the labulous Vncle Ben were made by Carl Ritchie. Other players were Dick Geer as Bernard, Barbara Ruble as The F.nfoy An-Evening "f SALEM'S FOURTH ANNUAL ORGAN CONCERT IN THE PARK i Tuesday Eve., 7:S0 p m.
