Old-fashioned entertainment
is provided by SCCT's 'Laura'
By JILL S. KOSKO
Collegian Arts Writer
No one could possibly feel neutral towards Laura, a
beautiful New York career woman whose special
charisma spun an enticing web over all she met one
either loved her or hated her. But• who felt enough
passion to want to kill her'?This is the question explored
in the State College Community Theatre's production
of "Laura," a murder thriller now playing at The Boal
Barn Playhouse.
The story of "Laura" was first introduced to the
public as a novel by Vera Caspary in 1942 before it
became a movie classic in 1944, starring Gene Tierney,
Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, and Vincent Price.
Eventually, the book was adapted for stage and ap
peared on Broadway in 1947.
The novel and movie present the story using flash
backs and different points of view. Although the stage
version limits the story's scope, "Laura" is still an
intriguing play wherein the workings of the title
character's personality are just as interesting as the
murder mystery itself
Said title character, Laura Hunt, is a strong-willed,
intelligent debutante who entices men in the same way
that honey attracts bees. She thrives on a whirlwind of
manly attention. Presumed to be dead at the play's
outset, Laura's influence is felt from the "grave" over
the lives of many characters. These include the three
men who loved her, a protective mother who resented
Laura's influence over her son, and Detective McPher
son who becomes fascinated with her through his
investigation of her murder.
Yet Laura is not dead. To everyone's surprise, she
returns to her apartment in the middle of the investiga
tion, obviously alive and well. The real victim's identi
ty is revealed to be Laura's friend Joyce, who stayed in
the apartment foi• the weekend while Laura was away
in the country. Now there is an added complication
was Joyce the intended victim or was she merely
mistaken for Laura? Both are real possibilities when
it's discovered that Joyce was having an affair with
Laura's fiancee Shelby Carpenter. _ _
Typical of a 1940 s who-done -it mystery, this play
contains all the right elements a suave but gruff
detective, a classy social butterfly, a stuffy intellec
tual, a rich Southern gentleman and more. It has a
Mack's 'Lightnihg' is a gem
By ALLEN LEE VAY
Collegian Arts Writer
To many fans of Southern-style rhythm and blues the
names Stevie Ray Vaughn and George Thorogood
come to mind, but few remember a man who served as
an inspiration to both of these performers: Lonnie
Mack. Lonnie is one the legendary guitarists of our
time, and on his new album Strike Like Lightning, he
gives us a taste of just what we've been missing.
Teaming up with fellow bluesman Stevie Ray
Vaughn, who co-produced the album, Mack recreates a
new sound of modern blues. His recording career
began in 1963, when he released his first album entitled
The Wham!, followed by seven more albums over the
years. Strike Like Lightning is Mack's first effort in 8
years, and it's a long awaited pleasure.
Using his ability to stun with amazing solos has
always been the trademark of this veteran, and along
with Vaughn he proves that he is indeed a master of the
blues. Mack returns to his old barroom style here and
plays a perfect blend of black and white rooted music,
along with an upbeat style he perfected while perform
ing with other artists such as James Brown, Freddie
King, and The Doors.
Mack has had a mixed following of fans over the
years of all ages, and most times of very few numbers.

familiar black-and-white feel like an old movie you'd

The set and costumes of the SCCT production really
add to developing this romantic thriller atmosphere.
For instance, McPherson's hat and baggy clothes are
reminiscent of a Humphrey Bogart, and Waldo Ly
decker's white suit and cane fit the pompous image of
Laura's haughty confidante perfectly. The set cleverly
makes use of the Boal Barn's limited space by strategi
cally arranging pleasant antique furniture to create a
convincing New York penthouse. The most eye-catch
ing feature of the set is a portrait of Laura suspended
above the fireplace. By choosing such a striking
picture, the intended effect is impressively created
Laura's face dominates our eyes just as her personali
ty dominates our minds.
Yet even the best script, sets and costumes can't
bring a play alive without strong performances, and
fortunately, the Boal Barn actors provide them. Rich
ard Gidez, a frequent face in Barn productions, deliv
ers a professional performance as Waldo Lydecker.
His smooth voice and haughty mannerisms fit his part
as the jealously devoted friend of Laura perfectly. He
is especially good in the last act.
. .
Although his accent is sometimes unconvincing,
Mark Srock is also good as Laura's fiancee Shelby
Carpenter, evoking the spitting image of a Southern
gentleman. The weakest performance of the produc
tion is given by David Harry as Mark McPherson. He
fails to create the charm and charisma needed to carry
off his debonair part, leaving the audience uncon
vinced that Laura would fall for him or could even
spend ten hours talking to him. When he tips the side of
his hat in a typical here's-looking-at-you-kid fashion,
one is amused but not impressed. His most convincing
moments are in the scenes that require him to get
angry
The womens' performances are all strong. We don't
see enough of Maya Spence as Mrs. Dorgan, who plays
her small part with believable emotion. As Bessy the
maid, Betti Henry provides excellent comic relief with
her almost squealish voice and wide eyes.
For her part, Suzanne Runyan has the spunk to carry
off the role of Laura and create the charisma so crucial
to her character. Because she is such a commanding
presence, her momentous entrance into the play great
ly increases the audience's interest in the show.
He's played in venues from bars to arenas, but still
manages to keep a constant style. His melodic slide
and high pitch on most every cut on the record are
stylistically typical
"Double Whammy," a grueling guitar shoot-out
between he and Vaughn, is an updated version of
Mack's vintage single "The Wham," and it shows just
how much the master's playing has rubbed off on the
protege. It's a quick, hard thumping tune that leaves
you amazed that these two men can produce this sound
with just two guitars.
A few numbers, including "Satisfy Susie"and "If
You Have to Know" feature Mack's crusty deep
vocals, and sound like tunes done by country singer
George Jones, albeit much more spirited and alive. In
many respects songs such as "Stop" and "Hound Dog
Man" are borderline Southern-rock, but he keeps them
delightful with his low blues guitar and vocals.
For most of the album Vaughn prefers to balanCe the
tunes with high-pitch rhythmic consistency, while
Mack supplies the gutsy attack of a guitar cut loose
with long solos and seemingly endless crying strings.
"Strike Like Lightning", the title song co-written by
Vaughn is a wonderful departure for Mack. In it he
applies the wonderful heavy bass and quick lead guitar
made popular by Texas blues artists such as Vaughn
.and Z.Z. Top.

Equity actors George Gitto and Judith Barcroft embrace warmly in this scene from Noel Coward's sophisticated romantic
comedy "Private Lives." Festival Theater's final production of the season is currently on the boards at the Pavilion
Theatre on campus.
'Cosby Show' will continue
focus on everyday family life
By FRED ROTHENBERG
AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) When
the new television season opens
this fall, America's first family of
comedy, the Huxtables, will face a
familiar family ordeal: the first
day of school.
"The Cosby Show', became tele
vision's most popular program in
its first season with its comic por
trayal of everyday situations, and
executive producers Marcy Carsey
and Tom Werner say this season
will offer more of the same. Bill
Cosby's favorite soft drink, Coca-
Cola, may have been reformulated,
but not his favorite program.
"Oh, there may be some subtle
changes. Kids grow, you know,"
said Carsey. "But this family will
evolve slowly."
The planned opening night story
line will focus on the opening day of
school, particularly the anxieties of
Rudy Huxtable (Keshia Knight
Pulliam), who's entering the first
grade.
The series' reality has helped
revitalize the TV sitcom. Not only
has "The Cosby Show" boosted
NBC's follow-up Thursday night
comedies, "Family Ties,"
"Cheers" and "Night Court," but it
has accelerated the development of
other cozy, domestic comedies, in
cluding several with blacks in the
leads.
ABC has at least one black fami
ly comedy in the works, and CBS
will introduce "Charlie and Com
pany," starring Flip Wilson and
Gladys Knight, this fall. Wilson
becomes defensive at suggestions
that he owes something to "Cos
by." He said he proposed a family
comedy vehicle for himself 12
years ago." Time just caught up to
my idea," he noted.
Carsey and Werner are amused
by the "Cosby" clones. They say
there's nothing original in the con
cept of family comedies; they've
been around for three decades. But
what's different is the tone of a
close-knit clan mining humor from
life's ordinary ups and downs.
"And what this show also has is Bill
Cosby, and Bill is unique," said
Werner. •
The issue of which reality "Cos
by" should be depicting has pro
voked the series' only significant
criticism. A story in Philadelphia
magazine attacked the show for not
dealing "with the persistence of
racism, the lack of role models, the
dilemma of assimilation and other
problems ... central and unavoid
able in middle-class black life."
Cosby consistently has dealt with
this charge by asking why his show
has to tackle issues of discrimina
tion and assimilation when Bob
Newhart's show does not. "It
makes me crazy," said Carsey.
"Bill Cosby has always had a uni
versal voice. He unites people; he
doesn't separate them."
Brandon Tartikoff, president of
NBC Entertainment, says "Cosby"
works because it "plays totally
colorless."
"The Cosby Show" just won a
Humanitas writing award for an
episode in which Cliff (Cosby) and
his wife, Clair (Phylicia Ayers-Al
len), find a marijuana cigarette in
their son Theo's book. The pro-
The Daily Collegian
Friday, July 19, 1985
gram approached the drug issue
from a different slant, with the
parents believing their son's igno
rance about the joint.
The intention of Cosby and the
producers is not to go on a soapbox
or isolate problems particular to a
single group, but to demonstrate
that people have more in common
good and bad than they real
ize. Asked if a story touching on
discrimination might ever be'done,
Carsey said maybe, "but that's
certainly not the thrust of our
show."
From the beginning, "Cosby"
has taken small-scale domestic
events such as the death of
Rudy's pet goldfish or Theo (Mal
colm-Jamal Warner) trying out for
the football team and then ad
vanced the episode with the fami
ly's reactions and responses,
particularly Cliff's.
NBC was a little anxious about
this approach, having for years
thrived on grabbier, more exagger
ated domestic-crisis storylines,
such as "Lucy wrecks the car and
tries to hide it from Ricky, who has
accidentally locked himself •in the
bathroom."
"What they wanted was the typ
ical storyline that could be distilled
in one sentence in TV Guide," said
Carsey.
When Carsey and Werner were
ABC programmers, they unsuc
cessfully tried to coax Cosby into
series TV. As independent produc
ers, they were able to land him by
allowing him to structure a "Cosby
Knows Best" around his own chil
draising attitudes and experiences.
Like Cliff, Cosby has five kids.
