CHATHAM NEWS At Chatham Monomoy Theatre last night a responsive audience, thrilled by the depth and drama of Tennessee WllliamB ' critic-circle* award play, "The Glass Menagerie ," spontaneously applauded through- out the performance, demanding repeated curtain calls , as the final curtain fell upon an outstanding presentation. Full realism, tender pathos, through which runs a vein of Illu- sion, fills this play with tense emo- tion. The lighting effects were ex- traordinary, combined with a clever stage setting, as the curtain rose upon a stage darkened except for the overhead light shining upon the narrator, Richard Purdy, play- ing a dual role, which created an atmosphere of illusion. Peggy Walker, the deserted wife and nagging, conspiring mother, falling to understand her children , re-living past romances and fearful of tho future for her crippled , self- conscious daughter, presents one of her finest performances. Sarah Plexlco, a newcomer at. Monomoy, proves her dramatic ability In the role of a frightened daughter, men- tully suffering. Scenes botwoen the mother and the poetic , yet adven- ture-longing HOII uro breath-taking. The emotional outburst with Rich- ard Purdy 's performance was re- markably convincing. Rick Hollister, as a Gentleman Caller Invited to dinner to create a romance, furnishes much of the play 's humor. He also provldos a tragic note upon which the story ends. Playgoers nhould not miss this play, well produced by Mary B. Winslow and directed by Richard liardwell . An old-time favorite , "Peg o' My Heart" by J. Hartley Manners, will open Wednesday, July 18. The proceeds of the performance of Friday evening, July 15, Is to be given to the senior class of the Chatham High School for the an- nual Bpring Washington Trip fund. —M.B.H.
