Americans, English and a Rus
Sian met in international conclave
on the Whitley Auditorium stage
last Wednesday and Thursday
nights, mingled with clergyman
galore and brought forth hilarious
comedy in the Elon Players’ lirsi
production of the season.
Using Phillip King’s “See How
They Run” as a vehicle, the Play
ers came up with new high in
comedy entertainment, giving a
production that kept an unusually
good opening night audience
laughing from the first curtain to
the last. The second night’s crowd
was considerably smaller than that
lor the opening performance.
“See How They Run” was by far
the most ambitious and best com
edy to be undertaken in several
years by the Players, and Mrs.
Elizabeth R. Smith, as direcior,
and the Players proved once again
that their talents are best in this
categoiy of dramatic art. Center
ed on complications arising in the
home of an English vicar, the play
iiept one laugh following on top
of another.
Virginia Trigg Hawkins, who
starred on the Elon stage as a
student last year and who re
turned to "See How They Run"’
as a guest performer, was respon
sible for keeping the plot moving,
serving as a connecting link for
all characters and developments.
Without her excellent portrayal
of the vicar’s wife, the play could
not have gotten started.
Sharing the starring honors
with her were Lynn Cashion, as
Mr. Toop, the vicar, and Ed Engles,
as the Bishop of Lax. Both had
difficult lines and actions to han
dle.
Joan Wickman, as Miss Skillon,
the old maid, and Happie Wilson,
as Ida, the housemaid, also
contributed much to the play
through their talents, as did Tom
Targett, as Corporal Clive Winton,
the American soldier who had
once been on the stage with Mrs.
Toop. ^
Taking le-s.s^er parts, but hand
ling them equally well, were Joe
Brankley, as Mr. Humphrey, Roger
Wilson, as the Russian, and Ed
Woodward, as the police sergeant.
Joe Brankley kept up his reputa
tion as one of the best character
actors with the Players for some
time.
It has been the pleasure of this
interviewer to have seen the ma
