Last night i.'
uo capacity audience
at the Brewster Town Hall Theatre
was thrilled to see Lewis W. Mil-
ler starred in the play written for
him away back in 1942 at Iowa
University. "Dark of the Moon", a
strange and eerie tale of witches
and humans in the Smoky Moun-
tains", was excellently portrayed 1
by the whole cast of the theatre
after a whole summer's rehearsals
and work. The authors of the play,
Howard Richardson and William
Berney, brought the tale of Bar-
bara Allen to life in 1942, success-
fully took it to Broadway and now
gave us the pleasure of seeing their
fantastic creation of the under-
world.
The basis for the play Is the
ballad of Barbara Allen, who fell
in love with a witch boy, married
him and then died as a result of
being -uhfaitWrrt ,to|the, one who
loved he*-best..The atmofphjre of
the play definitely tinainds *ne of
the folksy flavor found In .
"Okla-
homa!" and the eerie effects of
certain scenes in "Brigaddon". All
that incorporated into a well-writ-
ten and mervelously acted play
with the best settings possible
makes it a grand evening's enter-
tainment.
The cast was headed by Lewis
Miller as John, the witch boy,
whose flawless performance left
the audience breathless. For once
the over-use of make-up for strange
effects was perfect. From the very
first scene when he begs the con-
jured woman to make him human
because he is in love with Bar-
bara Allen to the last second of
the play when he again becomes
a witch , he held everyone spell-
bound with his speaking, acting
and dancing. Barbara Allen, the
beautful bad girl , excellently por-
trayed by Ann Mack, very poig-
nantly told her sad tale In the most
realistic way possible.
Each scene In the play was a
perfect picture. The background
was always formed by the excel-
lent designing of Gordon Argo and
the live characters furnished the
rest of the color, From the grim
scenes of the witch-world to the
country general store and finally
the little church where the revival
meetings are held , each and every-
one of the nine scenes was a little
gem. Perhaps the one most popular
with the audience was the church,
for you could see feet stamping
in rhythm all over the theatre
when the hymns were sung on
stage in a most convincing man-
ner. As a preacher, James Van
Wart did a grand job. Perhaps we
can also single out Gordon Argo
for his excellent singing voice and
the pep with which he led the con-
gregation in its singing. The two
witches, Jaclyn Willaredt and Vir-
ginia Calhoun Frost , were quite
the enticing and scary creatures;
so much so, In fact that several
children in the audience expressed
fear.
A word should be snld here about
the lovely choice of folk songs be-
hind the curtain while the crew
was changing scenery; and Geor-
giana's guitar playing, as well as
the dance staged by% Betsy Argo
and Fenton Hagemann.
The whole play was a mammoth
enterprise for the little group and
we are so glad to know that it was
a complete success with which to
end a good season.

sions, Is a very citadel, for a man

taken forever.—Marcus Aurellus.

And then ,If we are true to plan,

ings, from 10 - 12 on Wednesday

A mystery arama with a mes-
sage, J. B. PrleBtly's "An In-
spector Calls", as presented by the
Chatham Monomoy Theatre group,
was well received by a capacity
audience on opening night. The
somewhat monotonous introduction
which served to classify each of
the members of the Burling fam-
ily, was broken by the entrance of
Richard Purdy, who, as Inspector
Goole, an unsmiling cross-examin-
ing Investigator, revealing the
story of Evie Smith, alias Daisy
Renton, a desperate girl forced to
commit suicide, holds his audience.
It is upon the four members of the
Burling family that he places the
responsibility for the girl's tragic
end. He ia at his best as he ser-
monizes, preceding hts final exit,
drawing appreciative applause.
William Watkins as a self-
satisfied Mr. Burling, though at
times his tempo 1B too rapid , is
convincing, The part of Sybil
Burling, his wife, is ably handled
by Peggy Walker , and her daugh-
ter, Sheila, (Patricia Kennell),
offers a noteworthy performance,
as does Robert Perrault in his part
as Gerald Crost, her confessing
fiance.
Wilson Hall's characterization of
Eric Burling, the weak son who
drinks too much, is one of the best
performances. Ann Oakes com-
pletes the cast in a minor role as
Edna, the maid.
It is the third act that suspense
Is the greatest, as the mystery
unravels, only to end with the
identity of the Inspector, a matter
of conjecture. To tell more of the
story, which might be called a
character study, would spoil the
play for those planning to attend.
Presented by Miss Winslow and
staged by Robert Bardwell, this
prodifctlon closes a season marked
by successful performances, which
have entertained thousands during
the 10-week schedule of varied and
well-selected plays.
