In fact was it a play? Or was it life death or plain meta physics? It can be watched as pure thea tre on one hand; and on the other hand as a meaningless experience, yet with a deep significance for each separate individual. Though the play may not have been understood it was enjoyed— this enjoyment may ha v e de veloped from a feeling of empathy with the skill of the actors. Three of the principals, Eliza beth Ives, Bruce Taylor and Charles Antalosky, can be credit ed with giving the finest perform ances of the evening. Miss lives as Flora "a young woman from away back," has few lines to speak but those that are, spoken are done so with a mastery seldom seen in Player productions. Johnny, is portrayed by Tay lot% Taylor's voice, wonderful to bear, becomes a vehicle for a captivating interpretation of "a young man with one foot in the grave."

The spirit of events is captured •n the lines and actions of Joseph Monaco who, as Jim Crow "the watchful attendant" seems a part of everyone else's personality. His performance seems to be in character at all times.

A slight comic touch is added by the appearance of the be wildered letter carrier. Floyd Santoro. William Bonham was simply, miscast as Jim Dandy.

Just who Jim Dandy really is remains the mystery of the play. Sets by Russell Whaley were simple—but most effective both in color and in the mood that they created.
