Michael Reeve deals with a
different theme in directing
“The Stronger” by the
Swedish dramatist August
Strindberg. However his play
also contains the conflict of
one against the others.
Reeve’s drama centers
around a monologue between
two ladies: Madame Y
(Austin Seagrave) and
Madame X (Susan Russell),
who do all the talking. At the

seem to be leveling off. In
places sales last year were
lower than the year before,
and overall sales were up no
more than 2 percent.
The North Carolina ABC
Board says sales in Scotland
County were up, however.
During the last fiscal year

impression that Madame X is
the stronger, yet when it falls
Madame Y has emerged as
the stronger of the two. Says
Reeve about directing: “I’m
honored that I was chosen
but I find it a big change from
acting in that I must be
responsible not just for one
character - but the entire
)lay.” He evinced strong
reelings about his cast, ex
plaining that “they make the
characters live, come alive.”
David Miller also has a
Strindberg play, “Miss Julie.”
This play is set in the 1920’s
and portrays the conflict of the
Count’s daughter (Vicki
Hughes) who wishes to enter
the lower class while Jean, the
valet (Bill Allen) aspires to
become a member of the
nobility. Miller finds that “the
play is a very challenging one
... my cast is more than
sufficient and very hard
working.” He also expressed
agreement with Strindbergs
view that life is hell and death
the release or heaven.

This Week At The Movies
This wek’s Sunday night film is a recently released motion
picture entitled “Providence.” The first English picture by
noted French director Alain Resnais, “Providence” was
origanally sceduled to be shown this past Sunday, but an error
made by the distributor delayed its arrival until this week. Film
Chairman Lin Ihompson told THE LANCE yesterady.
In the film, a famous novelist, uffering from a fatal illness
passes a terrible night hallucinating about various members of
his family: his dead wife, his son and daughter-in-law, an
illegitimate son. He believes that each of them hates him and
each other as well, and as he drinks to ease his pain he begins to
alboriously crat this hatred into a new novel. “Providence” is a
complex and shifting story, almost, in fact, a story within a
story. The film begins at 7 p.m. Sunday in Avinger Auditorium,
and admission is twenty five cents.
