PAGE EIGHT Review i; I , rni Uninspired By DEX HUTCHINS Collegian Reviewer The State College Community Theatre's production of "Harvey" by Mary Chase, now at the Boal Barn Playhouse, is a generally uninspired effort by an indifferent cast which serves only as a comedy vehicle for the invisible rabbit and his friend Elwood P. Dowd, played by Joe Servello. Servello is the star of the show in every. respect. With the spirit of "team effort" in his colleagues as invisible as Harvey himself, Servello must carry the burden of the story's forward progress. With the understanding and humor of a real trouper he makes every effort to support his less polished friends on stage while masterfully maintaining the integrity of his own part. Florence Rowlands as Veta Simmons, Eli.vood's sister, tries hard to play a flighty somewhat self-centered woman. For the most part she does this with wild ges ticulation and incoherent bab bling. Only in the first scene of the second act does she slow down enough to he understood -- re ceiving applause from the grateful audience. Her performance in the last act becomes especially weak when the expression of her role demands a measure of calculat ed sincerity. Kenna HoMerman as Myrtle Simmons is almost as distracting on stage as Miss Rowlands. Al though an expert at reciting her lines and flailing her arms, she makes no headway as a competent actress in this particular role. In happy contrast is the brief appearance of Grace Holder man as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet whose performance reflects the learned efforts of a fine actress. She is the strongest thespian in the show despite an all too short appearance on stage. Mention should be made of the performance of Harvey, playing himself. In relation to many of his fellow actors Harvey is refreshing in his silence, a delight in his in visibility. One might say that for the first time in the history of the theater, a group of thespians have been tinstaged and outplayed by an invisible rabbit.

The International Corporation Administration, a government or ganization which supervises this program, has sent from 20 to 25 people to this campus for train ing since its beginning two years ago. Luis 3. Marentes, a member of last year's group said that this ,type of training has been well accepted both here and in Mexico. Marente:, who was studying mechanical engineering at the Na tional Polytechnical Institute in Mexico City, said he liked the course offered here so well that he decided to return this year to pursue his studies in industrial engineering. This program has been very im portant because of the great need' of industrial engineers in Mexico„ he said.
