Be Sure To Say Thanks' For Us... WhenYouPatronize OurAdvertisers! fl ft ¦wmmmm ^ mmmmm m CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 that led him in all his beliefs and actions, public and private. Nineteenth Century America was the time and place of almost innumerable endeavors of social reform: abolition of slavery, women's rights, treatment of prisoners , care of the physically and the mentally ill, temper- ance, working conditions , et al, almost ad infinitum. In 1840, in Boston, of course, there was held a convention of people who, with wonderful enthusiasm and optimism, called themselves "Friends of Universal Reform." To the best of this reviewer's knowledge Spear was not there, but he ought to have been. He felt called, indeed driven, to cure the ill, counsel the trou- bled, encourage the discouraged, organize the disorganized. He clearly and firmly believed that he was acting under the direc- tion of the spirits of prominent people of the past, each advising about a matter in which he or she had been a generally recog- nized authority. Always insisting that he was not the author but merely the instrument through • whom these opinions were given, Spear spoke for many causes that now are almost universally accepted as right and good, such as the abolition of slavery; for some, causes that are even now controversial, such as women's right to choose whether or not to terminate a pregnancy; for some that were then and now are seen by almost everyone as wildly impractical, such as build- ing a perpetual motion machine, or definitely detrimental, such as "free love." Never bowing to public opinion or the advice of associates, he continued to follow the advice of his spirit guides and to find emotional and financial support until his life in this material world came to an end. John Benedict Buescher has done a good and significant ser- vice in recording for us and for posterity the life of a man who seems to have found it difficult to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, feasible and practicable , and record- ing for us the problems human society has had and yet has in making such distinctions. The Remarkable Life of John Murray Spear... CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 parents have recently moved to Florida and his sister is living in Califor- nia, but mostly because the grandfolks just plain like having members of la familia around. After all, the family mantra is Fam- ily, Faith and Food, a credo the older generation ad- heres to with great pride and dogged devotion. Still a bachelor at 35, Grandma Emma Cris- tano (Millie Sheerin) joins forces with Aida to devise a scheme whereby they will introduce Nick to a fine young lass, nurse Cait- lin O'Hare (Anne Vohs), with whom they hope Nick will fall in love, thus making the move a moot point. After all, he has admitted to the family he has "no reason to stay." In their minds, love for a fine woman will give him a rea- son. The husbands, retired carpenter Frank Gianelli (Bob Nuss) and retired assembly fine worker Nunzio Cristano (Kenneth Nardone), agree with the plan and put on their best faces for a Sunday dinner at which Caitlin will be the featured guest, unbe- knownst to Nick. It is at this Sunday dinner that Nick's angst at being manipulated brings on a panic attack that changes his life for- ever.Through his trauma, however, he gathers the strength he needs to pur- sue his dreams and move on in his life, leaving be- hind some scars but a love that manages to traverse the country, along with some hearty food, and endure, albeit with some bittersweet endings. Directed by Kay DeFord, president of the Guild, this comedy is full of poignant moments and revelations from the elders that bring to the forefront the power of a united family where strength is derived from those who have sacrificed to create a staunch unit that only gains momentum and success as the genera- tions progress. DeFord also designed the set, which is an invita- tion to step on stage to take part in a meal or have a he-down on the comfy couch. Authentic and wel- coming, this venue does not require any suspension of disbelief; it is anyone's living and dining room where family life goes on despite the challenges and disruptions the days bring. Costumes by Nonnie Kelly-Perkes and Betty Marshall are authentic and particularly pleasing on Emma, who sports chic outfits as befit her hip interpretation of an older granny not ready to throw in the towel for some old- lady garb. Joe DiPietro's Over the River and Through the Woods is a lively high befitting the kickoff of the Guild's 75th season and is presented by a veteran cast who perform pitch- perfect. Pertormances ot Over the River and Through the Woods will be pre- sented through Nov. 19 on Thursday, Friday and Satuday at 8 p.m. and Nov. 5, 12,and 19 at 2 p.m. For tickets ($16; $10 students under 18), call 508-945-0510.
