licitous deference to Mrs. Faulk
ner to cruel brutality towards the
unfortunate clerk.
Elmer Sweeney, the eager rook
ie cop who had officiated when
the body was found, is eagerly
played by Omar Lerman, mean
dering in his testimony, and brash
in his self-importance and self
satisfaction.
A stolid and sanctimonious but
ruthless “big” banker, John Whit,
field, father of the widowed Mrs.
Faulkner is well-characterized by
Harry NatMchke whose impassive
ness when all goes well is only
slightly less impressive than his
impassioned ire when thwarted.
Cocky Gangster
Poriman Paget, as the cocky
gangster Larry Regan, is respon
sible for several of the play’s ex.
plosions of surprise. His finger
nail-filing witness-stand bailing
of D.A. Flint is a masterpiece..
Probably the most hilarious
Portion of the play is Francine
oil'* gum-chewing, leg-crossing,
hip.and-eye rolling appearance as
Roberta Vanßennselaer, self-styl
ed "terpslchorine,” who was not
related to “Lefty” O’Toole, but
“only just his wife.”
Various non.Town-and-Niners
capably fill in as extras, contribu
ting to the authenticity of the
courtroom scene. They include
townspeople as well a s graduates
and students of the College. Two
of them give particularly impres
sive performances and are audi
ence favorites.
The Swedish accent spread on
by Jean Franci* as the loyal and
watchful housekeeper, Magda
Svenson. is strongly reminiscent
of Irene Dunn’s in the recent film
“I Remember Mama.”
Another genuine characteriza
tion, of Swedish clerk Sigurd
Jungquist, is expertly fashioned
by Bill Preston, whose final emo
tional eruption is disturbingly
realistic.

Friend Speaks
To Workshop
To combat misunderstandings
that people abroad have of Amer
icans, Jack Hollister, of the for
eign service section, American
Friends Committee, suggests that
special envoys, selected from
small business circles and small
towns, be sent abroad to tell the
story of America person-to-per
son.
“They would tell of many in
dividual efforts and the little
contributions made by our people
for their relief instead of the bil
lions spent by the government,”
Hollister told teachers enrolled
in the Pennsylvania Workshop
yesterday.
Hollister pointed out that Eu
ropeans have a misunderstanding
about what they term as “uncon
trollable wealth of the United
States and a general conceit of
Americans about anything they
possess.”
Europeans also feel that Amer
icans have little solid knowledge
but are conversant on many
things because their education is
superficial, Hollister said.
Having toured all four zones
of occupied Germany, as well as
other countries, last year, Hollis
ter said Europe is “depleted and
substitute as Judge Heath, is gen
erally adequate, but his unjudi
cious hand-waving when deliver
ing decisions was slightly incon
grous.
Perfect Realism
The realism is so perfect and
the excitement so intense that one
expects a stampede of reporters
to th e phones each time court re
cesses, and.to be mobbed by shril
ling newsboys peddling tabloids.
Even the cast never knows how
the play will end, because the de
cision of the jury, chosen from
the audience, determines the cur
tain scene as well as Miss Andre’s
fate. There are only five more
chances for you to share the ex
citement and entertainment of
this trial.
