Pro Actor Secrest Returns To UNC
In Green's 'Sing All A Green Willow'
By JOE SIMMONS
If you watch Jimmy Secrest
rehearsing Paul Green's new
folk-satire, "Sing All a Green
vkhiow, you know
seeing a pro work.
While an undergraduate
Dramatic Arts major whines
you re
'actors' and can't be bothered
with anything else. Too bad."
As a Playmaker, Jimmv was
seen as Willie Baxter in
"Seventeen," as Jimmy in
"The Rainmaker," and as
Lysander in "A Midsummer
Night's Dream," as well as a
score of other roles.
DTH Playmakers Pre
view
about having to rehearse on
Saturday and the rest of the
cast is taking a break, Jimmy Is
going over and over a bit of
action which involves picking
up a girl from the floor and
walking offstage with her in his
arms. When director Sam
Selden has difficulty getting
everyone's attention during
one of the crowd scenes,
Secrest moves closer to the
little man in order to
"I desperately wanted them
to let me do Tom in Robert
Anderson's. "Tea and
Sympathy" when 1 was
here-when 1 was eighteen like
Tom was, but it never
happened. When 1 finally got
to do the part I was
twenty-four!"
Secrest has appeared with
five stock companies across the
country and worked at
Washington's famed Arena
concentrate on what is being stage as resident juvenile. In
Los Angeles he did "Come
said.
ti : :
iw inipro . you get is Back Little Sheba" with
that Jimmy will know exactly ShirIey Booth and Sid
what he s doing when the show Blackmer, who is also a former
opens a three night run on Haymaker and will be
Friday, March 28. returning to Chapel Hill to
Secrest is "jobbing" the role participate in the homecoming
of Shadrach in the innovational
new folk satire, as Mr. Green
calls the play. He was hired for
the role and will be leaving for
New York as soon as the show
closes.
"Being a professional actor
doesn't depend solely on
whether or not you're getting
paid," Jimmy said.
"Professionalism is a state of
mind."
Although he is near thirty,
he has that good head of hair
and intense eyes, characteristic
of the eternal juvenile. "The
theatre is hallowed ground to
me." he said. "When I walk
L a house and see a soft
drink cup on the floor, I pick it
up." For an actor who has
appeared on Broadway, in
movies, and has guest starred
on eight television series, this is
quite an attitude.
"When I was at Chapel
Hill-as Jimmy Scchrestl
participated in every phase of -the
theatre, and 1 mean every
phase from ushering to acting.
I don't see too many kids who
want to do that now. They are
festivities to be held in
conjunction with "Sing All a
Green Willow."
"I got the part because of
Blackmer," Secrest recalled.
"Several people at the audition
could have played the part but
Blackmer pointed me out and
said to the director, 'Him!' and
that was it."
In Chicago, a notoriously
tough theatre town, Secrest
won the Chicagoland Drama
Critics Award as the best actor
of 1965 for his role as Ensign
Pulver in "Mr. Roberts,"
co-starring with Robert
Wagner, star of the current TV
series "To Catch a Thief."
Jimmy's first broadway
assignment, "The Girl in the
Freudian Slip," followed, and
he repeated that role in
Chicago with Alan Young.
In Hollywood, Jimmy has
appeared in the movie, "Fate is
the Hunter," and in the series,
"Rawhide," "Dr. Kildare," "12
O'clock High," "Honey West,"
and as Dr. Hamilton in the
daytime show "General
Hospital."
There are always roles of
which an actor isn't very proud

trade as a "Spaghetti Western."
that he described as "a quickie
filmed with an international
cast but with all the earmarks
of an American Western.
'I was broken up most of
the time we were shooting
because 1 was speaking English,
the director was speaking
Italian and the leading lady
who was supposed to be an
Amanda Blake type
("Gunsmoke") went running
around the set saving, "Zeig
Heil! Zeig Heil!" and the
director had to use a translator
with everyone.
"Of course, later they
dubbed whatever languages
they wanted the film
distributed in but during
shooting it was just terrible."
Secrest never told me the title
of the film.
Part of an actor's job is
keeping his name before the
public and Jimmy has done
this by appearing on panel and
quiz shows on television. Last
April he was a winner on "The
Dating Game," being selected
over two other fellows by a
young model who selected him
because he said that
re-finishing furniture was one
of his hobbies.
They won a weekend at the
Seaview Inn in Mansfield,
Ohio.
In "Sing All A Green
Willow," Secrest plays the role
of Shad, a young man who
tries to save a girl from falling

the production is Carol Case

O'Connell and Elizabeth
Tanner as her parents and Joel

Gordon Lightfoot will appear
in Baldwin Auditorium tonight
at 7 p.m.
Lightfoot, 30, has been the
top make vocalist in his native
Canada since 1967, but until
very recently he has been
known in the U.S. only among
dedicated folk nthusiasts.In
the . past several months,
though, a series of appearances
' in this country accompanied
by enthusiastic reviews, has
brought Lightfoot to the
attention of the American
general public.
While many other stars have
followed the more lucrative
path of folk-rock, Lightfoot
has endeared himself to fans of
true folk music by remaining a
purist. His truly fine voice and
remarkable guitar technique,
assets which many currently
popular folk stars noticeably
lack, further mark him as a
traditionalist.
Lightfoot's songwriting
ability, his third major talent,
shows that a "traditionalist"
may be contemporary. "Black
Day in July," for instance, is a
commentary upon the 1967
Chicago riots. He has
composed over 130 songs,
many of which have been used
by other singers. ;'""
Judy .. : Collins . made : "a
memorable recording of
Lightfoot's "Early Morning
Rain," and Peter. Paul and
Mary first achieved national
exposure with their version of
his song "For Lovin' Me."
In concert, accompanied by
a bassist and a second guitarist,
Lightfoot puts on a very
exciting show, and is known
for his ability to achieve a
rapport with any audience.
Tickets for $2.50 are
available at Page Box Office.
