THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
'Madwoman' Review-
(Continued from page one)
to oil and to destruction at the
hands of the Madwoman.
Cavey, who carries his boots
when entering the Countess' cel
ler because it's "etiquette," tells
the Madwoman of the wrong be
liefs concerning happenings in the
city sewers and the many "little
gifties" which float down to him.
Applause Well-Deserved
Also included in the "applause
well - deserved - department" are
Kathryn Kelleher as the Madwo
man of Passy and her imaginary
dog Dickie. The Madwoman of
St. Sulpice, played by Joyce
Basch, was the weakest of the
"d af f y women." Her acting
seemed to be artificial and the
result of direction rather than a
good characterization.
I Linda K. ,Gerber, though her
voice and actions made her con
vincing as the law-minded Mad
woman of La Concorde, seemed
to try a "bit too hard" during the
trial scene which condemned the
evil men to their doom. Her facial
expressions were exaggerated to
the point that they could have
distracted from the part of the
Ragpicker—had he not been so
forceful
Miss Gerber's make-up, which'
gave her the appearance of a
bearded-lady, ranked with that of
Lowell Salmon, as the Broker,
who appeared in the first-act
wearing the red face of a clown.
The parts of Irma, played by
' Irene Rothstein, and Pierre, por
trayed by George Vlachos, suf
fered from very weak perform
ances. Their acting was not in
tune with the caliber-, of most of
'the cast.
Irma's soliloquy produced a let
down at the end of the first-act
and Pierre's "love-scene" with
the Madwoman was most uncon
vincing and insincere.
An equally poor performance
was given by James Hopkins as
the Sergeant, whose voice barely
.projected to the second row - of
the auditorium.
Derek Swire in the role of the
Deaf-Mute rendered an excellent
" silent"performance with his
Make-Up Lacking
gestures of sign language.

chanting" celler set. Complete
with a broken picture frame,
dress-fitting form, and discarded
statue, the cellar had an air of
fantasy which fits the mood of
the play.
From the cellar could be seen
the same street-scene as in the
first-act, but more dramatically
lighted.
Working with such a large cast,
seldom seen in campus produc
tions, must have been difficult
but Warren Smith, the director,
accomplished it, providing, all
in-all, a worthwhile evening of
comedy and satire.
