(Hemmer photo) TENDER TRAP' TO OPEN TUESDAY Personalities in ‘Bus Stop,’ Now at Pinehurst Playhouse, Vividly Handled ■“Bus Stop,” second offering of the Pinehurst Playhouse, showing there through Sunday night, is a play of personalities rather than plot and most of these are vividly handled. They make this well-known play of a motley group, storm- washed into a roadside diner for the night, an enjoyable and mov ing experience. Chief among them is Joan De- Weese as “Cherie,” the honky tonk “chantoosie” whose off-a- gain-on-again romance with a cowboy provides most of the ten sion. Miss DeWeese, ‘ who draws on her Mississippi background for a broad Southern accent and small-town ways, injects consid erable pathos into her role of the girl with a lot of past but no fu ture—till abducted by the cow boy.

Highway No. 1 Between Southern Pines and Aberdeen She’s an extraordinarily beauti ful girl, and her talent never shows up better than in the “floorshow” the group stages to pass the weary hours. Her appro priately corny but somehow charming redition of ‘“rhat Old Black Magic”—with wiggles—is a memorable highlight. Also in the floorshow as in the rest, of the play, another charac ter shines—the lonely lush, an erstwhile professor and Shakes peare schdlar expertly and com- pellingly played by Robert Pas- tene. His hawklike profile, mobile face and moving voice, along with his skill of the true theatre craftsman, set the role apart. Georgia Bennett as the diner proprietress, an outgoing type— going out mainly to the bus driv er—and Shelley Post as her high school helper, a note of sweet in nocence amid sordid surround ings, offer some fine and inter esting contrasts. Somehow, except for the pro fessor, the women carry this play. The cowboy, played by Charles Waterman, is less primitive than theatrical. Bruce Hall does nicely as his cowhand friend, replete with purple^sage advice, but Hen ry Strozier as Carl, the bus driv er, and James Vann as the Sheriff seem too young for their he-man parts. To Lynn Pecktal, set designer, and other unseen staffers goes a hearty salute, for the scene and lighting set the tone and sustain the illusion of this atmospheric play. Curtain time is at 8:30 nightly, with a Saturday matinee at 2 p. m. Next play, “The Tender Trap,” starting Tuesday, will present practically the same cast. Open ing night curtain is at 8:15. —VN Charleston Has Second Exhibit Of Jugtown Ware Jugtown pottery made in upper Moore County is being exhibited at the Charleston Museum in Charleston, S.
