Royal Family At Parkway Playhouse
Show Business Comedy
.‘/•v.'-ivr- 4/
Based On Barrymores
THE ROYAL FAMILY, a
show business comedy based
on the famous Barrymore
family and written by George
S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber,
will be the third production of
the summer season at Park
way Playhouse in Burnsville,
July 27-30.
When the play first
opened in 1927, Ethel Barry
more attempted unsuccess
fully to close it because she
felt it libeled her noted
theatrical family. It enjoyed a
successful run, and received
great acclaim in a 1976
Broadway revival starring Eva
LeGallienne and North Caro
lina’s Rosemary Harris.
The story concerns the
Cavendish clan, the “royal
family” of the theatre during
the 1920’5. They are a zany,
temperamental group seeking
and enjoying theatrical suc
cess but longing for the
j pleasures of the “real” world.
Phyllis Campbell, Debor
ah Kintzing, and Paul W£bb,
professional actors from
Greensboro, head the cast.
Ms. Campbell plays the aging
Fanny Cavendish, the family
matriarch presiding over
three generations including
%/
daughter Julie (Ms. Kintz
ing), son Tony (Steve Wash
er), and granddaughter Gwen
(Emily Green). Webb is cast
as Fanny’s less-than-talented
brother Herbert, married to
the even less-talented Kitty
(Mary Elizabeth Diercks).
Also seen in prominent roles
are Don T. Barnes, Keith
