'Shadow' Supporting Roles
Good With Some Exceptions

rebellious, is quite convincing and
well-cast. The timing of his ges
tures is occasionally off, however.
He is at his best in the more
violent scenes.
Among the supporting players,
several deserve mention. Dick
Hayden gives a spotty perform
ance as Father Corr, and doesn't
really seem to be able to get into
the part until the later scenes.
Ted Hewitz, as vacillating Father
Kirwan, is somewhat better.
One completely delightful'. char
acterization is Jacquelyn O'Dell's
portiayal of Miss Katy Cooney.
Miss O'Dell is perfectly type
cast for the role, and completely
enjoyable.
•
Character Overdone
A character who will appeal to
some is Dick Pioli as Francis
Ignatius' O'Connor. For this re
viewer, however, the gross has
no place in a play like "Shadow
and Substance," even in such an
obvious buffoon as Francis. The
thing was completely overdone.
Pioli seems determined to shout
down the rest of the cast, and
indeed, such roles are often de-'
liberately played that way. To.
us, however, Francis wrecked the
tone of the play whenever he
appeared.
The other roles, short ones of
villagers, are fairly well handled
by Dick Brugger as Martin Mulla
hone and Janet Ruth Horger as
Rosey Violet Mullahone.
So, all in all, from its excellent
direction to its beautiful set,
"Shadow and Substance" is a
Players' show long to be re
membered.

Truck Kills Deer
On College Avenue
A 50 pound deer was killed by
a truck yesterday on College
avenue after startling students
as it bounded across the campus.
Game officials said the deer
apparently was frightened from
nearby forests by small game
hunters. It ran into the side of
a bread truck on East College
avenue, near the Children's Shop.
' The carcass was turned over
to the game commission. It will
probably be ,given to the county
hospital or the penitentiary to
be used for meat, according to
borough police chief John R.
Juba.
