Traces of Wonder I Most of us know Chorles Dickens os rhe ourhor who gave the world A Christmas Carol'' and A Tale of Two Cities. Out few realize that he wos olso o great actor, and that os such he traveled extensively during the last yeors of his Cyrkl Mol et» osChoiles DicKervs. life doing extraordinary one-man shows of ex- cerpts from his own works. If was in this capacity thot he visited Americo during the winter of 1667-68. And, though grueling and exhausting, the tour here brought Dickens rhe love of ir- repressibly enthusiastic audiences wherever he appeored. Traces of Wonder dramatically recreated one such appearance of Dickens in America, and his encounters with the headstrong female reporter Jane Grey Swisshelm, on rhe sroge at Grand Rapids Baptist College. For several hours on the evening of October 14 thot stage was turned in- to the backstage of o Victorian playhouse where Dickens was cornered by the reporter in- to exploining his life work. Through the inrense questioning of Miss Swisshelm rhe audience at GRBC caught rare glimpses of rhe unknown Dickens. Mallet's and Lane's acting was so superb thot all In attendance soon forgot where rhey were ond found themselves transported bock in time one hundred yeors. Jeon Lone os tone Grey 5wlsshelm 32
