‘Jones’ Deserves Critics’ Praise,
Concise, Witty, Imaginative Film

by Paul Jensen

A great deal of high praise has
been lavished on Tom Jones. In
fact, not only is the film being
universally enjoyed, it is als» crit-
ically ‘‘in’? to rave about it. The
surprise is that the picture de-
serves most of this praise,

It is a lusty, roar-
ing comedy — tre-
mendously cinemat-
ic, and excellently
acted. It proves that
good (imaginative
and actually funny)
comedies are not
things of the past,
and that Britain’s ‘angry young
men’ do have a sense of humor,

Eighteenth Century Tale

Tom (Albert Finney) is a found-
ling who is irresitibly attractive to,
and attracted by, females of all
sorts. The plot, typical of its 18th
Century source, is extremely
plex, withimportant characte
ping up, disappearing immediately,
only to reappear when one has
nearly forgotten them,

Very simply stated, it follows
Toin’s pursuit of the virtuous Sophie
Western (Susannah York), and his
various extra affairs along the way,
There are many sub-plots, how-
ever, including one about his mother
that could have been utterly taste-
less but for the great good humor
of the film,

There are, in fact, so many char-
acters and narrative threads that
it is amazing that the writer (John
Osborne) and director (Tony Rich-
ardson) managed to pack it all into

a mere two hours,

Skillful

They do it through a kind of cine-
matic shorthand, which wastes no
time and moves the plot al a break-
neck clip. Any means available are
umd barbarity of such scenes and
characters make the film much
more than Doris Day fluff in period
costumes.

The acting is fine throughout the
cast, but Albert Finney is particu-
larly good as the roguish picaresque
hero.

Griffith Exceptional

Hugh Griffith, though, steals the
show as Squire Western — a dis-
gustingly dirty and vulgar man who
is none-the-less utterly hilarious
Griffith definitely looks the part,
wallowing with pigs, sleeping among
his dogs, and constantly trying to
drag some wench into the hay,

The film’s beginning is mislead-
ingly weak. The first scene, of the
baby Tom discovered in Squire All-
worthy's bed, is presented as a
silent film, with piano background
and title inser Though it is a
cute idea, there is really nothing to
laugh at here.

A narration follows, bringing us
up-to-date on Tom's affairs; this is
confusingly presented, and should be
clearer,

But once the characters are in-
troduced and the plot established,
there’s no holding back and, while
the humor inevitably flags at times,
it’s generally an elaborate, bawdy,
and boisterous comedy with a fast
and funny presentation suflicient to
eliminate any threat of poor taste.
The director's cinematic imagina-
tion, plus the social comment pro-
vided, is enough to make Tom Jones

more than a very entertaining film—
it is a most important one,

The hunting sequence, however,
has not been praised enough. Ex
ceptional photography is obtained
through various methods, including
the use of a camera mounted on one
of the horses. Rapid editing in-
creases the realism and excite-
ment,

But it is not funny, and succeeds
in giving this wild romantic comedy
another dimension, Social criticism
is included, unobtrusively, in this
scene as a great crowd of horsemen
and dogs go pounding after oue small
deer,

The animal is finally caught and
dispatched by the dogs, The realism

used, including Richardson's usual
sharp cuts from the important part
of one scene to another, without
fully ending the first.

Asides and gestures, ‘unob-
served’? by the rest of the charac-
ters and made solely for and to the
audience, are also used,

The joy of itis thar these “tricks”
are not only utilitartan but also
tremendously funny and cinematic,
Indeed, Richardson makes the must
of his camera, never trying to hide
it and occasionally bringing it into
the action, as when Tom coyly places
his cap over the lens to blot out our
vision

Bur with all its speed of expusi-
tion, the filin doesn’t

sitale to
pause and dwell on certain scenes
that give the film more body, An
example is the eating scene with
Tom and one of las loves. It
funny and well played, but overt
praised

Dylan Improves Style of

Lyric in New Release

by Stuart Salomon

Usually when a new column is
Published in a newspaper there is
some form of introduction included
which outlines the writer’s purpose
and his background in his particu-
lar area,

I will get around to that promise
task next week, there is something
far more timely on the folk scene
now. This is Bob Dylan’snew album,
The Times They Are A-Changin
(Columbia 2105),

Fans of Dylan will be jubilant,
even those who dislike his raw style
just might find him irresistible this
time. Because on this new cut Dy-
lan’s words are far more eloquent
and his music far more melodic
than on his other two albums,

Writes Own Songs

On this release, all the songs
Dylan sings were written by him-
self, Some songs, of course, im-
pressed me more than others did,
but Tcan say that there are nu sungs
which I didn’t like at all,

My favorite was the title song
of the album, “The Times They
Are A-Changin’,”” In this number,
Dylan’s energetic, rebellious phi-
lusophy tells politicians, parents,
and writers that these are limes
of transition and that changes must

be made,

lu the past year, a woman ser sant
was hilled because she was struck by
the cane of a rich man, T !

Uses Evers Case

Another murder, more notorious,
is related in ‘Only a Pawn in their
Game.” The tragic death of civil
rights leader, Medgar Evers is ex-
plained by Dylan’s belief that the
actors in the tragedy of last summer
were victims of a situation over
which they had no coutrol,

is a poignant commentary on the
wars of the United States and the
belief that God is with us.

talist is evident in the “Hallad of

AA Board Announces New Policy

Athletic Advisory Board became
tied up last Friday in a lengthy
discussion over a proposal to appro-
priate funds for three athletic
awards dinners in 1964-65, These
dinners would be held in addition
to the large Athletic Banquet at the
end of the year,

The issue is expected to be de-
cided at today’s AA Board meeting.
The meeting, which is open to the
student body, will be held in Draper
141 at 1:25 p.m. today.

In keeping with new University
policy all AA Board meetings will
be open to the public whenever the
Board discusses matters that per-
tain only to intracollegiate policy.

Three Banquets

Merlin Hathaway, chairman of the
Department ot Physical Educ ation,
whe deserves i auadvisory capacity

to the Bowrd, mitreduced the proposal
for three banquets in the first draft

of the 1964-65 tudget.

Hathaway said he was doing this
out of his desire to see athletes
recognized individually and properly
at the end of each season rather
than hurriedly in one big banquet.
at the end of the year,

William Colgan ’65, objected to
this method of recognition, He said
that by holding three small dinners,
the student body would in effect
by subsidizing private dinners for
a handful of individuals,

Subsidize Athletes

Athletic Board has always sub-
sidized athletes who attended the
big banquet at the end of the year
Colgan pointed out that by holding
the three additional banquets, the
students would be paying nearly
$750 more for these dinners,

The Board decided to investigate
the possibilines — of recognizing

athletes at the end of each season
in a more economical manner, The
possibility of organizing student as-
semblies was mentioned,

‘The Board also discussed the pro-
posal of whether it should accept as
a matter of policy responsibility for
alliletes whose injuries are not cov-
ered by insurance.

Injured Wrestler

The matter was brought to the
attention of the hoard by Hathaway,
who told the Board of a wrestler
who broke an artificial tooth in a
recent match,

If the Board assumes responsi-
bility for repairing the tooth, it
was pointed oul, it might be re-
sponsible for further injuries.

It was decided to investigate the
Possibility inherent in accepting
such responsibilines,

Actions Speak Louder

Tomorrow afternoon a new Student As-
sociation will be inaugurated. As with
any new body of leaders taking office, we
look to them with high hopes for their
accomplishments.

Mixed with our expectations is concern
for the new Senate. We hope it does not
fall into the trap which seemed to plague
the Senate before it — preoccupation with
minor technicalities.

In last year's Senate we could be sure
that whatever was or was not accom-
plished in Senate meetings was or was

not accomplished within the strict bounds
of parliamentary procedure and with legal,
technical, and orthographic accuracy.

This is to be commended — when done
in moderation. Unfortunately, too often it
Jed to a Senate meeting which was a bur-
lesque of legislative proceedings.

Too much time and emotional energy
was spent lastyear on frivolous arguments
about minor technicalities.

We hope the pattern is not repeated
this year.

Elections Present Sad Spectacle

Student Flections at State are a farce.
They are a travesty of what free elec-
tions in an intelligent electorate should
be. They have none of the elements we
expect to find in the free American ex-
ercise of democracy.

About all they do offer the individual
yoter is his individual vote. They offer
nothing more than that,

They offer nothing in the way of real
issues on which a candidate can take his
stand, and on which a voter can make his
choice, Of all the students running, only
Arthur Johnston and Al Smith have both-
ered to draft platforms.

Of the hundred plus people seeking
election to Senate none have a platform
on which they are basing their candidacy.
Most of them couldn't even be bothered

to attend the Rally last Friday.

This sad situation is made not better
by the fact that Art Johnston is running
unopposed. Only a hotly contested pres-
idential race can kindle inter in stu-
dent elections.

Apathy is the by-word this year. The
student body must shoulder the blany
for the kind of elections we
witnessing.

If the students, as individuals
a body, cannot be bothered
that election campaigns are car
in a proper manner, that th
fied people do run, and that e
yote, then they deserve nothi
than what they are getting in the
elections.

35 State Students Donate Time
In Albany Tutorial Project Work

“The purpose of the Albany Tutorial
Project is to help these kids graduate,”
said Mr, Robert W. Hayes, Albany State
coordinator for the project.

The Albany Tutorial Project is an or-
ganization which aids high school students
living in depressed areas get the help they
need to graduate, It is an attempt to lower
the dropout rate found in the slum high
school,

At the present time, about 35° State
students are engaged in this project,
helping underprivileged children better

their chances in life

The program was started originally by
members of the Northern Student Move-
ment, The program was then taken over
by the Trinity Institute, a non-profit or-
ganization working with the South Mailers,

Mr. Hayes also said that similar pro-

Pledges and Greeks alike can

This year’s Formal Rush came
to a close last weekend with the
pledging of 143 women into State’s

pledged 95 men one week earlier,

Protested Lethargy

Miss Kerpel vigorously protested
the ASP editorial of February 21
which accused the Greeks of “leth-

out, complaints were made that the
sororities were trying to pressure
freshmen before offieral rushing,
This would show enthustaim rather
than lethargy.

The 2.0 requirement dit not ser-

requirement eliminated those who

Many are eager to know how we
were initially received by the Sierra
Leoneans, how they treated us, and what
their response was when the first group
completed its tour and left. When we
arrived we were treated cordially but
with little fanfare. No brass bands, No
ticker tape parades.

We were taken to Fourah Bay College,
greeted warmly by the Minister of Edu-
cation and the President of the College,

é ments around the country. Little
s made and we were eased into
the society quietly and unobtrusively (for
which we were all thankful),

This country has a long history of
expatriate European teachers (mainly
British) and a good percentage of the
people took our coming as more of the
same, only from America, Some thought
we were missionaries; relatively few had
ever heard of the Peace Corps, it having
little or no meaning for them.

Of course, the longer we were there the
better the people got to know us, ;nd as
we explained to them the function of the
Peace Corps they began to understand,
but [ really think if made litte difference
to them, They certainly glad to
have us and appreciated what we were
trying to do. We were more often iden-
tified as Americans than as Peace Corps-
men, a fact which made little difference

Effect on Physical Aspects

I look back and compare the school in
which I taught when I first came to Sierra
Leone with what it was when I left. I see
students, for the first time, being taught
by a qualified mathematics teacher; I see
a library grow from next to nothing to
something which is well on its way to
meeting at least minimal standards; I see
a slight increase in the number ofpassing

curriculum; I see new facilities for extra-
curricular athletic activities being set up;
I see a new attitude developing on the part
of the students vis-a-vis the meaning of
education. By no means the product of
my hand alone, but a product of the hands
of all who were there to see and help it
grow — three other Peace Corpsmen and
a remarkably sympathetic principal who
gave free reign to our ideas.

This is my reward, This is my success

ARF!

Benjamin Franklin (or The Louisville Slugger, as he is better
known as) said, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” and we,
the college population of America, have taken to heart this sage
advice. We spend prudently; we budget diligently. Yet, despite
our wise precautions, we are always running short. Why? Be-
cause there is one item of expense that we consistently under-
estimate—the cost of travelling home for weekends

Let us take the typical ease of Basil Metabolism, a sophomore
ut UCLA majoring in avocados. Busil, a resident of Bangor,
Maine, loved to go home each weekend to play with his faithful
dog, Spot. What joy, what wreathed smiles, when Basil and
Spot were re-united! Basil would leap into his dogeart, and
Spot, a genuine Alaskan husky, would pull Basil all over Bangor,

ment. Se ws, after six months Basil's father told Basil he
could raise no more money; he had already: sold everything he
owned, including the flashlight he used to read meters.

dasil returned to California to ponder his dilemma. One
solition eeured to him to ship Spot te UCLA and keep him
but Basil had to abandon the notion beewuse of

Then anether idea came to Basil a stroke of wenius, you

“Thos he would have a dog to pull him around, and G. Fred's
allergy would be wndisturbed

Phe results, alas, were not all Basil had baped. The ehihua-
hus, alas, was unable to pull Basil in the dogeart, no nutter
how energetically he beat the animal

Defeated again, Basil sut down with G. Fred, his roommate,
to stuoke a Marlboro Cigurette and seek a new answer to the

problem. ‘Together they smoked and thought and Mureka!

Current Comment

Baker, Kenna Expose Systems

by Joseph W. Galu

No one party in America has man-
aged to obtain a monopoly on cor-
ruption. If this were not true, it
would be easy to vote out all corrupt
officials and their party.

The actual situation leaves the
voter in a more difficult position,
Two current examples point up this
unhappy circumstance, The system
which creates the examples is, in
my opinion, more to blame than the
men involved,

In New York City the Republican
organization in Queens is the site
of the most shameful New York State
example. In the 1961 mayorality
campaign, the Republicans charged
Mayor Wagner (D-LO)with having a
scandal a week,

Few Civil Servants

fhe Democrats countered with the
s.atement that the people involved
were civil servants and not patrot-
age appointments, Also the number
of people in the scandals was very
small,

As the campaign progressed, sev-
eral peuple were exposed and forced
to resign. The Republican leader
in Queens resigned. This man,
Robert Kenna, was the only ‘party
iman'' involved in any of the sean-
dals.

The resignation was reported in
all the papers and retracted the
next day. That Kenna will not seek
re-election (0 his party post was
the excuse, Last year he was for-
mally replaced by an affable nobody.

Rule by the Disgraced
A few weeks ago the Republicans

met to choose their new district
leaders, (There is no direct pri-
mary election of GOP district lead
ers in NYC), Kenna, with no official
position, chaired the meeting and
dictated the slates of candidates.

Because the election is far away
all parties and the major newspaper's
ignored the story. This example
gives a rather clear insight into the
attitude of both our parties and the
so-called reliable newspapers.

Iblame the system in this case
because there is no form of rep-
resentative base involved, The
peuple of the individual assembly
distriz’ do not choose their party
leaders. (This is the most basic
goal of the reform movement in the
Democratic party.)

Baker's

On the nationa level, the Bobby
Baker ‘‘case” is providing lots of
headlines for newspapers which wal-
low in sensationalism. Baker, quite
clearly, has had extensive dealing
which may involve him in some
court cases.

The Republicans, largely in the
person of Senator John J, Williams
(R.-Del.), have been pressing the
case with all reckless abandon, The
results have been some of the slow-
est, most laborious tracking down of
facts ever,

It is clear that the Democrats on
the Senate rules committee hope to
drag out the investigation in the
hope that the public and its infor-
mants (radio, TV, and the press)
will tire of the case.

That Senator Smathers and the
late Senator Kerr were involved is

difmcult to deny. Kerry was a
Democrat; Smathers is a Demo-
crat Republican John J. Byrnes

of Wisconsin was instrumental in
getting the smiling wizz-kid started.

Byrnes’ tearful speech on «he
House floor brought crocodile tears
from both sides of the political
aisles, It was a typical speech of
“My God, my God, what has this
awful, dirty man done to clean,
little ‘country, flag, and mother’
loving ne?”

Symptom is Part of Disease

The guilty party in this case is
hot a political party but a state of
mind, This state of mind is the Es-
tablishment of the House and the
Senate.

It is a group of willful little ‘nen
from hopelessly safe (for their party
and them) districts, They have no
fear of being defeated since they
often own the state organizations

The worst sin in the Senate is ta
criticize the system. The system
is one of favors and deals, It stinks
from the corruption it las wiyked
at, ignored, helped, and created.

Bobby Baker was created by the
Congress. Congress is not going
to, wash its linen unless forced to
do so,

Until a very few worthwhile men
like Demvcrat Paul Douglas and
Republican Clifford Cass obtaun
enough support to destroy the sys-
tem, this sytem will continue and
continue corrupt and corrupting.

Student Serves as Military Advisor in Strife-Torn Laos

by John Hunter

“When they hit us at Ban Padong,’’ began
State student Jack Savage, ‘‘we had 2000
Meo troops and they came in with 3000
Pathet Lao troops. We held out until they
brought in two 105 mm. howitzers. When
the 105’s were in range, we pulled out and
spent two days in the jungle until choppers
came in and took us out.’”

This was the start of aone hour interview
with Sophomore Jack Savage, a veteran of
over three years who was assigned to one
of the Army Special Forces units stationed
in Laos,

“T volunteered for Special Forces hecause
it is the best outfit in the Army,” Jack
continued. “After basic training, I was
sent to Jump School at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina,

At this time, | was assigned to the 82nd
Airborne Division, Each man in a Special
Forces unit is a specialist, trained in one

field and cross-trained in all others.

A Special Forces team consists of two
medics, two demolitions men, two weapons
men, two radio men (commo men), one
intelligence sergeant, one team sergeant,
one executive officer, and the team leader
(CO).””

“T was a radio man, and after radio
school, I was sent to Eglin Air Force Base,
Florida for Ranger Training, Next came
Jungle Warfare School in Panama. After
that came Cold Weather Survival School
in Utah. Next came language training,

The school for Laotian and Vietnamese
is at Fort Bragg. I went tothe one at Bragg.
Finally, my unit trained with the Navy UDT
(Underwater Demolitions Team) units in

mander in the area, Once you are sent
into an area, you are in there for the
duration,’’ Savage continued.

“The big problem in Laos was the fact
hat there were only 350 Americans sta-
tioned there. The Lao Army consisted of
26,000 troops. Some of the officers were
French trained, and were good comman-
ders, Most officers, however, were inept.

Another problem was .religion — the
Buddhist religion. The Buddhist religion
prohibits killing and the Lao troops had to
be forced into combat. With only 350 Amer-
icans, not enough pressure could be ap-
plied to make the Lao forces effective.

The exception to this unwillingness to
fight, however, were the Meo. The Meo
live in the mountains in northern Laos,
They were good fighters and were organ-
ized into a guerilla force. The Mao force
was separate from the regular Lao Army
and quite effective because of extreme
anticommunist feelings,’’

“Ban Padong was the Meo stronghold,”
Jack went on. ‘When the Pathet Lao hit
us, the regular Lao Army force with us
chickened out and left our right flank
open, Because of this, we lost a large
part of the Meo force,

When the United States pulled all Special
Forces troops out of Laos, the Pathet Lao
tr to exterminate the remaining Meo
personnel,’?

Inhaling on his third cigarette, Jack
continued, ‘polities played an important
part in the operation, too, There was,
for instance, a small group of anti-com-
munist Chinese nationals living in Nor-
thern Laos,

These people did not participate in any
action because it was not politically feas-
ible. Another incident also shows just
how much politics affected the situation,

IT UP

Many people are concerned about when they are mov-

ing out to the new campus and the athletic department
is no exception, It now appears the athletic facilities
will be a year behind schedule, The situation, unless it
is remedied before the move in ’65, will mean no intra-
mural activities or gym classes for one year.

It is one of the many facing the athletic department
in its big move. In discussing the problems that have
been encountered, Athletic Director Merlin Hathaway
had many interesting comments on the subject. He was

BUFFALO ROUTS TIRED SAUERSMEN :
STATE DEFEATS NEW PALTZ HAWKS

Playing against an extremely determined University of Buffalo squad, the varsity
basketball lost 91-52, Saturday, February 23, at Buffalo. The Peds were victims
of a potent offensive performance; Buffalo had five men scoring in double figures
«nd twelve men overall in the scoring column. The great margin of victory for
Butfalo was due to its dominance of the boards, getting 45 rebounds to our 31 re-
hounds,

Coach Richard Sauers felt that the team’s performance was not up to par partly
because the players were very tired. The night before they had a game at Brock-
port State and the strain of the contests plus the travelling hampered the team’s

Movie Review

‘Seven Days in May’

Better

Melodrama Than Morality Play

by Paul Jenson

There are two films now in re-
lease that deal with threats to this
country and its government. One,
Or. Strangelove: or How {| Learned
to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,
deals with the one error, or insane
officer, that could touch off a nu-
clear war (more on this f''m another
week), With this basis, it vould fall
in the same group as ,On the Beach
and other such pictures.

The second film, Seven Days in
May, was shown in Albany last week
In it the President (Fredric March)
is about to sign a disarmament pact
with Russia,

While Congress has approved it,
the majority of the people are against
the treaty, and the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff (Burt Lanca,
ter) so fears that it will meana sur-
prise attack by Russia that he in-
tends to take control of the govern-
ment.

A Question of Time

The question at issue here, how-
ever, is not The Bomb and the
relative safety of its being banned,
or kept as a deterrent. The valid-
ity of the President’s treaty is
never really questioned (it is pre-
sented as a very practical one),

The issue is whether Lancaster,
disagreeing so violently with the
treaty that he fears it will mear
the end of his country and having
such a majority of the people be-
hind him that he would surely be-
come president at the next election,
would in any way have justification
to seize control of the country
immediately, Or should he wait until
elections, even though he devoutly

believes there would be no country
then?

This question is brought up at
only a few points during the film,
including the somewhat preachy con-
clusion, It is generally ignored, and
never really tackled, and the story
is presented almost solely as a
melodrama — though a fairly ex-
citing one ~ in which Lancaster,
while not an out-and-out villain, is
nonetheless definitely in the wrong.

Not of Morals
Since it avoids the problem of
The Bomb, and only superficially
attacks the one it does present, the
film has no stature as a drama with
any sort of meaning.

But as a melodrama, it is quite

Fredric March gives President
Lyman a sense of reality and pro-
jects some of the weight of the office.
Ava Gardner, in a small role, is
adequate and utilitarian, Edmond
O'Brien’s Soutiern senator is a bit
too close to Charles Laughton’s in
Advise ond Consent.

The script by Rod Serling offers
sharp dialog and soine tense scenes,
as well as the sudden, unprepared-
for arrival of a piece of evidence
that saves the day.

Direction Ingenious
John Frankenheimer’s direction
is strong, ana in individual scenes

effective, though the patriotic
speeches detract from the suspense
and excitement,

The picture has what could be
termed a ‘ quality” cast. The char-
acters played by Kirk Douglas, as
the officer who first suspects the
conspiracy, and Lancaster lack di-
mension and depth, but the physical
details of acting are sinovth,

television set, part ofa communica~
tions system. Douglas, with his back
to the set, is unaware and suspense
is built nicely by this unusual meth-
od, which eliminates cutting between
Douglas in the office and Lancaster
approaching.

Frankenheimer, who received his
training in television, is one of the
better directors working in Holly-
woud, Although at times his camera-
work doesn’t have the effect desired,
he, at least, has the courage and
ingenuity to attack his material in
new and different ways.

His direction works in this case,

PAT FASANO.

If you have been in Richardson 291 during the past
week you may have noticed a number of people in
sweatshirts and dungarees, armed with screwdrivers,
hammers, nails, paints, and light bulbs. They are the
cast and crew of the State University Theatre pro-
duction of The Flies, and the set they have constructed
is something they can be proud of.

Set design for the Theatre is under the direction of
Mr, John J. Moore, a new member of the faculty. Ina
discussion of his set I asked Mr. Moore to give some
of the reasons he chose this particular design. He
stated, ‘'‘The Flies has a Greek format, but it is not
a Greek play. There are many illusions created. But
they are not an attempt to make it real. It is a highly
theatrical presentation,

Timelessness of Theme and Effects

In may instances, there are special effects used.
For example, there is a strange intermixture of modern
and ancient weapons used to achieve a particular dra-
matic effect or statement. Effects are intended to
surprise and encompass the audience and bring them
into the play, but all effects are intended fakery.’’

The people working on the set feel it is almost alive
because there is so much going on, it becomes an
integral part of the play. Platforms and levels were
designed specifically to help the groupings of actors
and to create interesting relationships between the
actors and between the actors and the audience, Cos-

tumes, too, are a combination of Greek and modern
dress, not for authenticity’s sake, but to make a state-
ment.

No Specific Setting

I asked Mr, Moore if The Flies has ever been staged
in this manner before. He stated, ‘‘We have inter-
preted the play visually as best we can. But it could
be done entirely differently if it were being done on
Page stage. We have to utilize the facilities we have
as best we can. We have even sacrificed audience space.
But it is our intent to present thisas a highly theatrical
production. A Greek setting is not important because
the basic philosophy is true, no matter what period we
are in. It is the story of the struggle for man’s free-
dom.,’*

Mr. Moore concluded,

‘This show is of,
the theatre. [t is our answer to Cinerama,’'
