Repertoire Players
Offer Play Tuesday
The Pacific Repertoire
Company, widely hailed
troupe of professional
actors, will appear in
Whitley Auditorium at 8
o’clock next Tuesday
night in the next feature
of the annual Elon Lyceum
series, appearing as the
first of two Lyceum at
tractions within a single
week, for they will be fol
lowed two nights later by
Gerald Goodman, harpist.
The Pacific Repertoire
group, which has per
formed in many areas in
colleges, churches,
schools, and military in
stallations, will present
John Patrick’s delightful
comedy entitled “Every
body Loves Opal,” which
is the heartwarming story
of how a loving woman
who retains her faith can
turn even the most off
beat type of person into
a decent citizen.
The play is of the type
which provokes thought
and still furnishes top
flight entertainment. It
features a cast that in
cludes Jacquelyn Wiers-
ma in the title role of
Opal, Betty Jo Gallow as
Gloria, Charles J. Gold
en as Brad, Keith Erick
son as Rocky the outlaw,
and Carl Press as the
deputy.
Each of these actors is
a veteran of the profes
sional stage, with Char
les Golden having made
his first stage appear
ances in his native Chica
go at the age of six and
having performed since
that time in more than 500
plays in over 300 cities.
The other members of
the group have had almost
equal experience, and
they promise an outstand
ing evening of entertain
ment when they present
“Everybody Loves
Opal,” with its theme that
there is something of good
in everyone if you take
the time to find it.
