g Gym 1933 Qfomce DRAMATIC CLUB REVIEW Fall ProducTion HE l-lorace Mann DramaTic Club opened iTs sixTeenTh season oT play producing wiTh a bill consisTing oT Two TeaTures: The Changeling , a comedy by W. W. Jacobs and l-lerberT SargenTg and The New Sin , a drama by The London playwrighT, Basil MacDonald Q l-lasTings. The Changeling was a highly enTerTaining one-acT comedy oT English lower class liTe. The casT was small, and The ploT an episode in The lives oT Three richly drawn characTers. As The mischieT- malcer, Ted STolces, Gerald Buerger, in his TirsT appearance Tor The DramaTic Club, was excellenT. The acTor's coclcney accenT and abiliTy To sTay in characTer were remarkable. VicTor Barnouw susTained his high level oT acT- ing by giving an amusing inTerpreTaTion oT a simple, blusTering husband. The Third parT was porTrayed T by RoberT O'Brien, anoTher newcomer To The l-lorace Mann sTage. As The only woman in The evening's program, O'Brien handled his diTTiculT assignmenT wiTh dexTeriTy. , CompleTing The diversiTy oT The enTerTainmenT, a murder drama in Two acTs was nexT presenTed. AlThough iT was generally TelT ThaT The play iTselT was noT equal To The Tine gualiTy oT The acTing, sTill The novel ploT and occasionally sparkling dialogue oTTseT The show's pedanTic and Tedious sTyle. The Three leads were equally played by Bruce Bliven, Keenan Wynn, and RoberT Rice. The greaTesT applause oT The evening wenT To Bliven, who did a convincing and sincere iob in spiTe oT The greaT dramaTic TensiTy oT The role. In hysTerical scenes, where a less capable acTor would have Tailed To TulTill The dramaTic value oT The momenT, Bliven was superb. Keenan Wynn, as The cenTral Tigure oT The Tragedy, was naTural: his ease and pleasing personaliTy lighTened The play when iT Tended To drag. RoberT Rice, in The oTher principal parT, porTrayed The causTic playwrighT and epigrammaTical conversaTionalisT wiTh shrewdness and sense. I-le broughT ouT clearly The biTing lines: and he was appealing as a loyal Triend oT his unTorTunaTe roommaTe, l-lilary CuTTs. .fll8T
