MISS BRASLER
IN CANDIDA
Strong Cast: Professional

Two new members are expected
this week to join the group of the
Highlands Community Theatre
players who are to carry the act
ing responsibility in Candida, the
Theatre's next production. They
are Muriel Brasler of New York
and Jimmie Reese of Atlanta.
The group which includes the
director, Arthur Little and h'is

Sommer, and Larry Gates, is oc
cupying Plywood near Billy -Cabin.
Plywood has been , loaned to the
Highlands Community Theatre for
,the summer .by . its owner, Mns.
H. I). Randall.
The Theatre is extremely for
tunate through Mr. Little to have
secured Miss Brasler for the lead
ing role in Candida. Miss Brasler
will be remembered as Portia in
Orson Wells' production of Julius
Caesar. She has been on the leg
itimate stage for some years and
has played both, on Broadway and

some measure responsible for the
.success of our first season in 1939,
inasmuch as they had the leading
roles in The Barter Theatre pro
duction of Saturday's Children,
which the Highlands Community
Theatre sponsored iin bringing to
Highlands, and which was so en
thusiastically received. .
Edie, as she prefens to be call
ed, studied for the stage at The
Neighborhood Playhouse School of
the Theatre, conducted by the
Group Theatre in New York. In
the spring of 1939, Edie won the
Laurette Taylor; award for out
standing ability as one of the most
talented and promising young act
resses of- the day. She was select
ed for this honor out; of a group
of 600 applicants. The award en
titled her to a summer of further
study at The Barter Theatre in
Abingdon, Va. where she and
Arthur and Larry first worked to
gether. Edie has played the lead
in such plays as Our Town, Sat
urday'iS Children, and Dodie
Smith's Touchwood. In , New York
Edie has been employed as play
reader by a play agency,
Larry began his stage career as
a teacher of speech and drama at
the University of Minnesota. He
resigned at the end ofr his first
year to become a professional act
or. In New York City for the past
three seasons he has appeared for
the Playwright's Producing corn

year, before coming to Highlands,
he had the position of general
understudy for the Helen Hays
Maurice Evans Production of
Twelfth Night..t His work has been
noted and commended by such
people as Laurette Taylor, Mar-,
garet Webster, and WhitfoTd Kane
of the Dublin Abbey Theatre.
Permanent Summer Theatre
The beginning of . a permanent
summer Theatre for Highlands is
being realized with the aid of
these professional players. It has
been found that the production of
a full season of good plays in
summer resorts where the popula
tion is a transient one, is possible
only with a small group of full
time professionals to depend upon
for some of the playing and pro
duction responsibilities. This is
true of all summer theatre groups
through the country. This fact by
no means eliminates our Theatre's
need of talent and active partici-,
pat ion . from the Highlands corn-:
munity.
At the present time, with the
production of Candida getting
under way, we are welcoming the
help of anyone who is interested
in working with us on ,some of the
jobs of production. Anyone inter
ested may communicate with" Win
nie. Eskridge, publicity manager,
by telephone.
