'Sam' director from Toronto
enjoys laid-back Chapel Hill
By CHIP ENSSLIN
Arts and Entertainment Editor
Perhaps one of the best things Bill Peters did
was to ignore the personal advice of Northrnp
Frye.
Peters, the director of the Playmakers
Repertory Company's current running, Play It
Again, Sam, disregarded his University of
Toronto teacher's advice to leave his
extracurricular dramatics alone and concentrate
on his English studies.
"1 didn't do what he said," Peters said, "but I
managed to squeak by."
Peters, a native of Toronto, went on to graduate
school in drama at Yale where he met his wife Sara
Albertson, an accomplished filmmaker and an
artist in her own right.
The two have spent the last month in Chapel
Hill, working with Sam and silting in on various
classes for question and answer sessions. Sam will
be playing through Sunday, Nov. 27.
"It's been a great experience working here,"
Peters said last week over lunch at the Carolina
Village Optician

Inn. "Not only because of the great community
support for theater here, but also because of the
laid-back atmosphere. Everyone's working
together, and it's not" the real cut-throat
competitiveness."
Peters was asked to come to Chapel Hill by hi
former Yale teacher Tom Haas, who is the artistic
director for the PRC. Peters was given free rein
with the script and made changes he felt were
needed.
"1 approached the script as an editor," Peter
said. "That's the Yale training. They make you
make decisions. You work with the writers."
Producing a play that was carried by the comic
genius of Woody Allen on Broadway without
having Allen to play his own protagonist would be
a challenge for any director.
"I wasn't intimidated,"Peterssaid."lfit'saone
person play it's not a play. Rudimentary though
they are, there are characters and a plot."
Peters fattened the script, omitted many of the
"harpings on urban neurotics," and sought to
make Bogart as rich a character as Allen Felix,
with his own dramatic dilemma.

Bill Peters and his wife Sara Albertson have spent a month in Chapel Hill while Peters
directed the current-running Playmakers Repertory Company production of Play It
Again, Sam. Albertson, a noted filmmaker, met her husband while they were
studying drama at Yale.
Prters gives much of the credit for the success of
the production to Neil Smith, who plays the
character of Allen Felix with "an appealing
fragility." creating a more sympathetic character.
Sara Albertson, Peters' wife, has just returned
from Taiwan, where she shot a documentary
about Chinese engineering techniques. The two
have enjoyed being together in Chapel Hill since

that we lost

We already lost one atomic bomb off the
coast of Spain. Thousands of dollars worth
of military equipment is stolen or mis
placed every year. Hundreds of pounds of
heavy uranium are "missing".
Suppose we lost a Neutron Bomb. What
do you imagine that the government of
South Africa would do if they "found"
it? Or a Middle Eastern terrorist group?
Or a power hungry general in a small
country?
The Only Way to be sure no Neutron
Bombs fall into the wrong hands is to
make sure none are ever built.

Albertson, who studied acting at Yale under
such eminent filmmakers as George Roy Hill and
Arthur Penn, showed the hall-hour "black
comedy" she filmed for Canadian television to
several RTVMP classes here.
"The fact that this is now a legitimate
department and course of study is encouraging,"
she said. "The mass culture is seductive. We learn
how to read but we don't have that many ways of
educating ourselves visually."
Toronto, one of the filmmaking centers in
North America, is the current home base of Peters
and Albertson. who say that it is "easy to become a
gypsy" in their business. Politics and opportunity,
however, may motivate them to move to America
in the next few years, according to Peters.

"Places like this (Chapel Hill) invite writers
down from some other part of the country to an
environment like this, where they can produce.
The great thing is that they bring the writers in
from the outside." he said.

Capowski in 14:17.

kt the 440-yard free; Brown, LcMaire, Marshall
and Lauren DuPrce also set meet and pool records
in the 800-yard free relay.
"We were swimming to learn and to try to
eliminate some mistakes that often show up in
later competition," l)NC swimming coach Frank
Comfort said. "1 think it's a mistake to draw any
conclusions from the results."
- KEN ROBERTS
In women's foil, seven out of nine women from
UNC advanced into the second round and Cathy
Swan advanced to the quarterfinals. The men's
foil ran into a string of bad luck because of poor
seedings and indicators. UNC fencing coach Ron
Miller said he was pleased with the Heels
performance in the preseason tournament.
"We got our first gold medal." Miller said, "and
all in all, it was a very strong performance by the
entire team. It is also yery encouraging for the
balance of the season."
