PAGE TWO Review Fine Acting Revives Lethargic 'Epitaph' By DEX HUTCHINS f Collegian Reviewer The cast' at Mateer Playhouse this week, and next, is wading through Creighton and Osborne's "Epitaph for George Dillon" the most boring play of the summer which strangely enough allows most of the actors their best performances so far this season, Will Gregory; as George fresh from the protection of his mother's skirts (at the age of 30) doeS as well as he can with his part. The authors have made George Dillon their undisguised "stage mouthpiece" unfairly loading 'any actor playing the role with the burden of reciting their so cial views directly to the audi ence. Such a role does not fit the boundless energy and talent of Gregory who finds any true ex pression of his ability stifled by the work of the arch linguistic litterbugs who wrote the script. Diana Frothinghain, in the role of Ruth Gray—a character nighty the female counterpart of George Dillon—has finally found a more serious and • quiet role towards which her talents seem naturally bent. Her acting is consistently good in this part and her charac terization builds a great deal of empathy with the audience. Constance Dix, as Mrs. Elliot, is a thespian whose. irrepressible humor end vitality reaches out to the audience in any role she plays. Beth Brickell as Jesie Elliot, the teen-dge sex kitten of this yarn, finds her talent bound up in extreme self-consciousness on stage which does not allow her any control of her acting. This is understandable consider ing what must be an unnerving five to ten minutes she spends alone on stage at the beginning of the show. During this time she is required to pick her nose, undress, and generally establish the char acttl. of Josie as that of a rather' "free" young woman. One strongly suspects that the: authors have added this particu lar character as a typically un imaginative device to liven up their meager stage offering.

Testimony to be presented by ;the University to support their )contention that they have been loperating the sewage disposal !plant in accordance with regula itions will be heard at the hearing. University officials said there is as yet no way of knowing why Me State Sanitation Board would "revoke, modify, or I change" the University's sew age disposal permit. , The Sanitary Water Board may lbe planning to require the efflu 'eat from the University to be Ipiped about 10 miles downstream fto Bald Eagle Creek to a point below Milesburg.' If this requirement is stated at the hearing, University offi cials are expected to raise sev eral questions. *Will Spring Creek tributariesi 'meet the proposed requirements lof the Sanitary Water Board and, if not, will that effluent also be !piped below Milesburg? *What plans are being made to move the fish hatchery in view of a report stating that the hatch ery is incompatible to an area with such a large population? e Will the piping of the effluent! to a point below Milesburg dot other than transfer .whateverl problem exists to a point down stream?
