$O. - mot Sitoc.ki . Group
Offers Amusing -Flay
"Light Up The Sky" enters the second and •final • week of • its
Center Stage run tonight offering - one of the - most amusing bits
of theater- fare seen here recently. • • -
The production is the first of three, -each to be staged for two.
weekS by a summer stock company- headed -by -Walt Walters and
Warren Smith as producers. •
Done by a Tait that for the most .part seems to know what they
are about, Moss Hart's parody of
'what the -behind the scenes the
ater is--or might seem to an out
sider; pokes fun at -both the the
ater people and the public.
Always on the borderline be
tween the credible and the in
credible, the comedy steps off into
the farcial for laughs now and
then but no particular harm is
done.

Show's Star
Harold Fishbein steals the show
with his characterization of a rich
roughneck who steps into the
theater game "not to make mon
ey' but for his own personal satis
faction: •
Joe Bird seems to thoroughly
enjoy his part as Carleton Fitz
gerald, an eccentric director who
is marked by his oft-repeated
"Oh, I could cry."
Helen Jaskol turns in a credit
able performance as the star's
Mother although fighting a handi
cap of being a bit -more glamorous
than the daughter.'
Joyce Rexford
- The star herself, Joyce Rexford
as' Irene Livingston, seems 'at
times a- bit stilted• although the
job of consciously overplaying
the part of a star is not always
easy,,,e.g.„ "Bless you, darling!"
Jack, Tyo, as an on-stager with
an off-stale viewpoint is a bit
too stiff in a stiff part, that of a
playwright who abhors the false
ness of the theater yet loves it.

naive, -young playwright who
