'Scapino'set in postcard Italy
By KAREN GOTTENBERG
Collegian Staff Writer
Bright, crisp and witty
comedy is promised when
“Scapino” arrives 'on the
Pavilion Theatre stage,
previewing Oct. 6, and
opening Oct. 7.
“Scapino," directed by
Helen Manfull, has traveled a
long road to the Pavilion.
Originally a work by Moliere
entitled “Les Fourberies de
Scapin,” the play became
“Scapino” as a result of a
Frank Dunlop-Jim Dale
collaboration for the Young
Vic Company.
“Scapino” now thoroughly
belongs to Penn State,
however, because of the
energetic work and
dedication of “a wonderful
group of marvelously
creative actors who bring
much to the production,”
Manfull said.

The play, Manfull said,
takes place in modern Italy.
Its set, designed by Craig
Hudson, and costumes,
created by Watts,
project a conception of an
Italian city as seen through
the eyes of an American
tourist, “a picture postcard
image.”
Within this surrounding are
a bunch of “a-little-bit-bigger
than-life-people,” Manfull
said, who romp and brawl
their way through life’s trials
with the help of Scapino, “a
man who has the ex
traordinary capacity to help
everyone discover his richest,
most imaginative self.”
“Scapino” is a theatrical
farce full of physical antics
and improvisations as well as
wit. Jean Sabatine,
movement director and
choreographer, has closely
collaborated with Manfull to

bring out all this energetic
spirit. But, Manfull also is
striving for truthfulness in
characterization. “After we
understand reality, we can
put on a comic mask,” she
said.
David Hodge, who plays
Scapino, is amply suited for
the role. Experienced in
mime and dance, he is a
“very attractive young man
who exudes personality and
has a great capacity for
improvisation,” Manfull said.
“Scapino” is to be enjoyed
as a play done “in the spirit of
great fun,” Manfull said. “If
we learn to play the game of
•life, if we take some risks, life
can be wonderfully fun.
‘Scapino’ teaches people to
play well.”
Comic and spirited,
“Scapino” promises an
evening of theatrical fun and
frolic in the world of farce.

Folk concert disappointing
By FRANK HALVONIK
Collegian Staff Writer
Shortly after taking the
stage, Mike Brewer told
the audience that he and
Tom Shipley had spent the
day in a van traveling to
State College.
The lohg hours on the
road were evident as
Brewer. and Shipley
dragged - through a
lackluster set.
They opened with a
passionate rendition of
Blind Lemon Jefferson’s
“One Kind Favor,” and
followed with Steve (Ozark
Mountain Daredevils)
Cash’s “Black Sky.” The
acoustic guitars on this
song were so razor sharp
that the electric guitar
used on the original was not
even missed.
Their performance of
“All along the Watch-
CAN YOU TOP THIS?
“Is there intelligent life at PSU?”
“Yes, but I’m only visiting. ”

tower,”- although an im
provement over their
studio cut, still lacked the
intensity of the Dylan
original.
Their electric set was
marred by guitar distortion
that nearly .punctured the
audience’s eardrums. It
was so horrendous that
Mike Brewer warned,
“That will sterilize you.”
Despite this difficulty, the
electric' set was the
highlight of the evening
because it better concealed
the shallowness of the
material.
Another drawback that
hurt the show was the chat
tiness and low-brow humor
between songs. While in
troducing “All Along The
Watchtower,” Tom Shipley
asked if there were any
Dylan fans in the audience.
After drawing limited ap

plause, Shipley responded,
“His voice sucks.”
Brewer and Shipley have
long contended that the/
banning gf “One Toke Over '
The Line” which they
did not perform has
severely damaged .their
careers. That may be true,
but performances like last
night’s do not win new fans.
David Fox, who has per
formed around State <i
College in the past, opened
the evening with a well
balanced mixture of
original ballads and up
tempo acoustic songs. His
-song introductions, unlike
Brewer and Shipley’s, were .
humorous and informative.
His vocal delivery was
strong and expressive.
Although it was short, his
set was the only bright spot
in last night’s dismal show
at the State Theatre. .>
