Footlighters' Play
Recommended; Said
'Fast-Moving, Meaty'
Medford theater - goers who
like the fast-moving modern
stage plays with sparkling dia
logue but with "meat" in the
lines as well, should 'see the
Footlighters' production of
"Goodbye My Fancy." The play,
which opened last Friday night,
continues tonight and tomorrow,
with curtain time at 8:15 p.m.
The plot of "Goodbye My
Fancy," which has a somewhat
misleading title, deals with the
problems of a noted congress
woman whose battle to awaken
her fellow citizens to the dan
gers of an atomic - conscious
world are momentarily sub
merged by her dream of marry
ing a college president with
whom she was once In love.
Secondary Plot
, Secondary plot interest is pro
vided by the struggle of the
president to reconcile his own
wishes and beliefs with his de
sire to keep his position and at
the same time keep his self
respect and that of his daughter.
Jeraldyn Jerome, as the con
gresswoman, last night gave a
somewhat ragged performance in
the first minutes of the play but
warmed up to her characteriza
tion later and was convincing
in her dramatic scenes. Dr. Mer
rill is played by Chuck Hawkins,
who gives the part dignity, but
lacks force.
David Whlsenant, high school
senior playing hia first major
role, brought praise from the au
dience for his playing of the
big-time news photographer who
is also in love with the congress
woman. Young Whisenant has
a certain natural stage charm
which adds to his performance.
Stage Presence Good
Norma Jeanne Snell gave a
sympathetic interpretation of the
president's daughter, about to
graduate from college with mis
givings about her father and life
in general. Miss Snell's stage
presence is good and shows the
experience brought by her work
with several plays in the past
few years, but her naturally
clear, firm voice needs modula
tion at times.
Gail Gatter turned In a sharp
characterization s the efficient
and breezy secretary who knows
exactly what to do in every
emergency.
There are several supporting
roles in this play which help
give H strength, and these parts
are all well filled by the Foot-
lighter cast. There is Ruth Kil
bourn as a college official, (we
would like to see Miss Kilbourn i
In a larger role some time); Bob I
Hillyer, who plays a convincing ,
big businessman and chairman ,
of the board of regents; Frank
Buchter, who can always be de
pended upon for a solid perform
ance, as Dr. Pitt who can't de
cide whether he Is wasting his

C. P. Budget Same
As Year Before
Central Point "Almost iden
tically the same budget as the
present fiscal year will be
drawn up for the next fiscal
year at Central Point," accord
ing to City Recorder A. R. Pink
ham. Pinkham noted that about
$400 more than the current year
could be added while still stay
ing within the 6 per cent limi
tation set by state law. He said
that the city was expected to
stay within the 6 per cent limita
tion because of the 15 mill con
tinuing levy voted by the citi
zens last year. This levy will be
applied to the current property
valuation of $1,400,000.
All but one of the six-member
citizens' budget committee have
been named, Pinkham said.
Members are J. E. Vincent, E. O.
Waterman, E. L. Matthews. R.
B. Langston and K. C. Wern
mark. A replacement for Rich
ard Krupp, fire chief, is now
needed, Pinkham said, as he is
ineligible as a department head
to serve on the committee.
This committee will meet with
the council sometime in the near
future, Pinl-harn concluded, to
