All My Sons
Here, March t?
Br Gerald Simmons
Arthur Miller’s thought-pro
voking drama, ‘‘All My Sons,”
will be presented by the NCC
’Oiespians in the B. N. Duke
Auditorium at 8:00 p.m., March
17.
Charles Lockhart, an old
trooper and familiar figure on
the NCC stage, will star as Joe
Keller, the father who has
manufactured defective airplane^
parts during World War II and
shifted the blame on his business
partner, Steve Deever. Kelly
gets the shock and hurt of his
life when he discovers that his
older son Larry, along with
many other fliers, has died in
an airplane crash that resulted
from the plane’s having defective
parts that he’s manufactured.
Later Keller realizes that they
were virtually “all his sons.”
Parthenia McCall will play
the part of Kate Keller, his wife,
who is obsessed with the idea
that Larry will return home and
. jKpfutf jref'eaat.-tbrrt Uc ^
was killed in action. Miss Mc
Call possesseis just the amoimt of
delicate sensitivity needed to
make the role come alive. Chris
Keller, perhaps the most diffi
cult part in the play due to the
great degree of depth, simpli
city and restraint demanded,
will be played by James Bryant.
This type role is indeed a chal
lenge to Bryant, but it is felt
that he will do an admirable job.
Virdell Tedder portrays Ann
Deever, the girl who was en
gaged to Larry before the war,
and is now in love with Chris.
George Deever, her brother who
has come back to stop the
marriage between Ann and
Chris and clear his father’s
name, will be played by Cleve
land Strickland.
Emmett Martin and Miriam
Towe have again formed a hus-
band-wife team—this time a^
Jim and Sue Bayliss. Jim’s ma
jor ambition is to do research
work at a $25.00 a week salary,
and Sue’'3 major goal is to help
him become financially secure.
Luther Scott will appear as
Frank Lubey and Carolyn Blue
as Lydia Lubey, his wife.
