*All My Sons^ Is Second
Goldmqsquer Production
The Goldsboro High Scliool
Gold masquers opened their sec
ond production of the sea.son
with Arthur Miller’s ‘^All My
Sor.s” which won for him the
critic’s award in 1947.
Mr. Miller duplicated his suc
cess with the current Broadway
hi:^ “Tlie Death of a Salesman.”
“All M.V Sons” was presented
Fiida.y evening, December 9 and
played through Saturday eve-
nmg, Decemi)er 10 with cutlain
timo' at eight fifteen.
The play was concerned with
the fortunes of the Keller and
Deever families. During the war
Joo Keller and Herbert Deever
ran a machhie shop which made
airplane parts. Deever was sent
to prison because the firm turned
ou^ defective parts, causing
deaths of many men. Keller went
free and made a lot of monev.
The twin shadows of this cataas-
trophe and the fact that the
young Keller son was reported
miKsing during the war dominate
the action. The love affair of
Chris Keller and Ann Deever re
turned from war to find his
bitterness of George Deever his
father's partner free, are all set
in a structure of almost unbear
able power. The production was
under the direction of Clifton
Britton, who gives the play the
impact and electrifying intensit.v
of the New York production.
The cast included some of
Goldsboro’s most outstanding
adult talent. Barbara Edwards
Griffith, the first North Caio-
linian to play the role of Eleanor
Dare in Paul Green’s “The Lost
Colony” made her debut in the
role of Mrs. Keller. Daron Ward
who played in last season’s popu
lar hit, “The Tavern” turned in
the finest performance of his
career in the role of Joe Keller.
Mary Olive Grady who will al
ways be remembered for her
performance in “The Land Is
Bright” and “First Lady” re
turned to pla.y Ann Deever. Karl
Albert, one of Goldmasquei-s’
popular actors, and who was las^
seer, in the season’s opening suc
cess “Ramshackle Inn” played
Frank Lubey. Harriette Thomp
son who during her high school
career, played in such show's as
“Losi Horizon,” State Champion
ship show “Farmer Brown’s Pig”
and “Smilin' Through,” returned^
after four years to play Lydia
Lubey. Andrew Griffith, who
now plays Sir Walter Raleigh in
“The Lost Colony” and has ap
peared in such shows as “H.M.S.
Pinafore” and “Egypt Land” at
the University of North Caro
lina. made his debut in the role
of George Deevers. Kenneth Al
len. president of Goldmasquers
and who was last seen in “The
Swan” made ,his first appearance
this season in the role of Jim
Bayliss. Harry W'ard made his
debut in the important role of
Chris Keller. The production in
troduced a new child actor to
the city who promises to make/a
hit. Wallace Wood played the
role of Bert, and he bares watch
ing.
Bud Davis is shown receiving the 1949 Sportsmanship
award while Junior McRoy, the ‘Quakes Most Valuable player
