BISHOP TIPPETT 4$ Los Angeles STr ... civio auditorium -sr -JfT.jyna bho Viiiing Comedy Said Funny; Somewhat Below Standard The Vining Repertory players opened their spring season last night in Ashland with a humor ous but otherwise slightly below standard presentation of "Arse nic and Old Lace." Although the below capacity audience responded well to the play's comedy, the production dragged its feet during the por tions which were not aimed di rectly at a laugh. This seemed to be particularly true in the first and part of the second acts. when certain members of the cast appeared tense and unable to put any life into their lines. Exceptions Noted Exceptions were Clara Mar garet Daniels and Suzanne La Marre Hanson, as the lovable but batty Abby and Martha Brew ster, and Philip Hanson, in the minor role of the Rev. Dr. Har per. Members of the cast who defi nitely improved as they went almg were Eddy Barron, as bu-Slt-blowing Teddy Brewster; El marie Wendel, as Elaine Harper; Franklin Reed as Mortimer Brewster, and H. Paul Kliss as Dr. Einstein. Reed, in particular, gave a rather strained performance early in the play and then seem ed to fall more naturally Into his part later. He relied overly on the "dramatic gesture" through out the play. Brad Curtis, as Jonathan Brewster, gave an adequate per formance throughout, but never quite seemed to reach the sinis ter black-heartedness one asso ciates with the part. Weakest Links Perhaps the weakest links In the cast at present are two minor characters, Officer Brophy, play ed by William Dawkins, and Of ficer Klein, portrayed by Hank Williams. Both lacked stage presence, a fault which will un doubtedly be eured by a little more experience. In general, the actors were not up to what they have shown to be their best in previous per formances in other plays. It can be expected that the play will improve as it goes along until it reaches the peak set last fall by the Vining Repertory. The Joseph Kesselring play Is directed by Barbara Curtis J.J, METHODISTS SLATE GENERAL CONFERENCE Method ists from every state of the United States and from at least 30 other countries will convene for two weeks, starting April 23, at Civic auditorium at San Francisco, to plan and legislate for the denomi nation's next four years.
