I Jerry Moore Directs Rehearsals
For Little Theatre's "Anastasia"
Rehearsals for the Boone Lit
tle Theater's production of Mar
celle Maurette's "An?iU?i?"
got under way Thursday night,
September 12, under the di
rection of Jerry Moore. Be
cause of casting difficulties, the
starting date for the play's
five-day run has been moved
from September 24 to Thurs
day, October S.
Tickets will go on sale for
90c at Flowers Photo Shop, the
Varsity Shop, and the College
Bookstore around October 1,
Moore said. Season tickets for
the five upcoming Little Thea
ter productions are already on
sale, at a substantial savings
compared to regular rates.
The play concerns a Russian
princess (Anastasia), believed
dead, who, suffering from am
nesia, falls into the hands of
a brutal gang of exploiters led
by a Berlin taxi-driver who
hopes to profit from the an
nouncement that Anastasia is
alive. The climax of the play
occurs when Anastasia con
fronts her Imperial grandmoth
er, a scene which marks the
turning point where the ex
ploiters are foiled and which
hat been called "one of the
great moments of the theater"
in modern times. "This scene
is really a great opportunity
for two actresses to shine,"
says William Ross, an actor in
the drama.
Anastasia's recovery and dis
covery of new assurance, her
painful choice between two
loves, and her eventual spurn
ing of her sordid associates
make for three acts of unfor
gettable viewing enjoyment
Alohma Culler will play An
astasia, while the dowager Em
press will be played by Mrs.
Mary Denton. Other cast mem
bers include:
Chernov, David Teller; Pet
rovin, Jack Brown; Prince
Bovmine, William Roes; Drivin

Broyhill To Vote
Against Tax Cut
Statesville? Hep. James firoy
bill of Lenoir, the Ninth District
Republican congressman, said
here Saturday be will vote
against the tax -cut bill and the
civil right* bill now being con
sidered by Congress.
Broyhill, hi Iredell last week
end to talk to constituents and
to shake bands at the Iredell
County Fair, said he doubted
the wisdom of a tax cut in the
face of the federal deficit, which
he said would be in excess of >10
billion. "In view of the financial
status of the government, every
dollar is going to make a great
difference," he aaid.
He aleo cited the outflow of
gold as ? sign of weakening
confidence in the dollar. "In
view of the continued inflation
and deficit spending, a tax cut
would not help the nation fi
naDciaUy and will have little
meaning to the taxpayers' pocket
book." be averted.
He added that the tax bill
probably would not come to the
floor of the House until week
after next and predicted a close
vote. He added that the adminis
tration was putting "tremendous
pressure" on the House for the
bill and that the picture mitfkt
change before the final vote
comes.
Broyhill said that he, like the
rest of the North Carolina dele
gation, is opposed to President
Kennedy's civil rights bill.
