STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Review-- (Continued from page one) the role of the gleeful child. But, the final, lasting effect oil this spoiled child from outer space ) is one of great enjoyment and hil arious fun. Bishop, as the persecuted, spied upon general, gives sand support and takes the lead in many scenes. His characterization has just the proper amount of whimsy and he blunders so beautifully. Watching Bishop loosen him self up with a few "snorts" as the world stands on the brink of war, or describing the innovations he invented for the laundry corps are two delights of the show. While these two performers manage to carry the production handsomely. Patricia Thompson, as the giddy-dreamy, love-lov, ing daughter of Kreton's hosts, is unconvincing. Miss Thompson's role is one which should emit the aura of fun, but she doesn't seem to be enjoying herself. As has been the trouble in sev eral of her Players' productions on campus, Miss Thompson is too much the actress. When she says in the first act, "I'm shallow at Bryn Mawr," she is convincing for she is also shallow at Stand ing Stone. Bob Milton as Roger Spelling, head of the family and blunder ing news analyst who once con gratulated Thomas Dewey on his elettion to the presidency, lacks the dynamic personality Spelding_ should have. He has just too;, much of Mr. Milquetoast in him. Mrs. Spelding is nicely played by Ann Driscoll. She blurts out :Lt her always inappropriate lines 1, , : ,! nearly and, as the role deinands, just as she seems to think of !7 them. As the motel-ranting, love part-A ner of the Speldings' daughter,[-i David Frank gives an on-and-offil performance. He shows throughl,'_ best when defending his priority with the whimsome miss. • HAPPINESS 6 AN "A" YOUR SPELLING ' TEST; E=M::l Alessandro to Lead Grad Student Tour Dr. Joseph 'Alessandro, associate professor of education, will direct a tour of South America this summer as part of his course on "Comparative Education."
