THE UNC NEWS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, PAGE I One-Act Opportunist' Gets Writer's Plaudits f By BILL BAILEY Thursday night, the Carolina Playmaker's held their 188th se ries, producing three student-written one-act p:ays. Of the three plays, I believe Mary Frances Newton's play, "The Opportunist" was the best written. It had more continuity end was more complete in itself than any of the others. Mr. Timothy Jones' play, "Time of Reckoning", was the only seri ous play on the bill, the other two being comedies. It may be added that Mr. Jones' play had great impact. Despite the good idea for m plot and the excellent beginning, the play fell apart as it proceeded to its conclusion. I feel that Mr. Jones ran the Negro blood issue into the ground and the over-emphasized explana tion concerning genetics would have been better received at a meeting of the American Medical Association than iby the average Milton's Last Call To Summer FURTHER REDUCTIONS ON THE COUNTRY'S MOST WANTED APPAREL.

Julie's husband had left town accompanied by the Negro houseboy whose neck was being sought by an angry mob led by J u 1 i e's inheritance-cheated brother-in-law. Julie, then muster ing up all the priile she had left, and marched off to meet the angry mob ending the play on a very melodramatic note. Parker Hodges play, "Cold Hes ter", had as a plot the "beatnik" theme and his idea was a good one. The play was quite humorous but failed to jell properly at its conclusion. It seemed as if Mr. Hodges just started writing and when he decided he had written enough, brought the play to an end. There was little continuity, al though his idea could have made an excellent play. Herb Drinnon's direction of "Cold Hester" was splendidly ysKeviewe done.- His blocking ran smoother than dn any of the other' two plays. Mary Anna Blair Hahn's direction of "The Opportunist" was han dled very well with only a few exceptions, and despite these Mrs. Hahn is to be highly commended. Mr. Charles NLsbet's direction of "Time of Reckoning" was the most polished of the three plays. It was so polished in fact that the actors seemed liked a group of marionettes ibadly dn need of some oil for their joints. It must be kept in mind that these productions were the first ventures of the playwrites and di rectors, and both are to be highly commended on their final pro ducts. Since the plays were the playwright's first endeavors, there were many irregularities in them. The actors and actresses are to be highly praised for it was their task to iron out these irregulari ties and make the evening run smoothly. Top honors of the evening go to Sally Clark, a Junior Playmaker from Corpus Cristi, Texas. Miss Clark's interpretation of the daughter in "The Opportunist" was executed with precision and excellence. Florence Ruff also shares top honors with Miss Clark for her representation of the D.A.R. re gent turned "beatniks" in "Cold Hester". Miss Ruff's timing was superbly executed and her per formance was very convincing. Bill File as David and Lore Schul ler as Ruth caused "The Oppor tunist" to come to life and their performance added a great deal cf sparkle to the play. They were well supported by Mrs. Wade and Faye Pierce. Lucy Ann Dunlap, as Julie, out standingly carried "Time of Reck oning" from the moment she step ped on stage until her melodram atic exit. Her performance was expertly handled except for her stiff execution which was the fault of her director. vr:-' T-i i j - .-i .mas jjuuup Avas aaequaiejy i supported by Lewis Ennis as Dan f and Ira Marks as the doctor. Myra Lauterer as the "giddy" spinister turned "beatnik" gave a humorous and convincing perfor mance in "Cold Hester". Although given a very weak and poorly written part. Jack Jackson as the "beatnik" writer, Nehem iah, managed to bring life into the part and dominated the stage along with Virginia 'Humphries, who gave a very seductive per formance as the blonde goddess of the "beatnik" sect. Also to be mentioned for his Sports Mae Turlington, end on the 1958 Tar Heel football team, will help out with the coaching of the frosh this fall. Turlington, who started on the 1957 Carolina team, is finish ing up work on his degree. He is married and resides in Glen Lennox. e- . Wedding bells are calling Tommy Kearns down the aisle in September. Kearns, a standout eager on the National Champion ship team at Carolina in 1956-57, will be discharged from the Army later this month. The 5-11 sparkplug finished here in 1958. He has been in the Army since last February. Now that Jim Hickey has taken over head coaching duties at Carolina, the present staff is short one man. Bud Carson, who tutored the frosh last year, was alrrc'v scheduled to help coach the varsity backfield this year with Fd Kensler, a varsity line coach, taking over the freshmen. Could be Kensler will remain with the varsity and a new frosh coach will be hired later . . . Just a guess though. small role which was amusingly handled is Marty Brennaman from Portsmouth, Va., another Junior Playmaker. Dan Linney and his crew did a fine job on lighting, and the sets of Tommy Rezzuto once again showed his genius as set designer. Just Counting Bank's Money Isn't Enough Bank employees need as great a skill in working with people as they do in handling money, Vir ginia bank executive Richard C. Buell told a conference group here Thursday. Buell, vice president of the Bank of Virginia in Richmond, stressed bank-customer relations and 'said that skill in human rela tions is the most vital of all for bank personnel. He formerly was ' personnel di rector for Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. in Winston-Salem. "Never think that any individ ual depositor is not important," Buell said. "Multiply him by all the other bank customers, re gardless of worth, who are also individuals." Like Live Music Free???
