LES SUCCESS
)RD AUDIENCE
FINISHED PRODUCTION
Louise Duke Makes Hit As the
Widow Cagle-Harry
Bryan Wins Praise
"Sui U n" received gratifying appre
cation from the people of Columbia in
the initial performance Tuesday evening
it the Town Theatre. The cast is com
posed of University students in Professor
Reed's class of dramatic production.
The play wili be given in Laurens and
at the Columbia theatre during the State
Teachers Association.
Following is the write up of the play
as a reporter of The Columbia Record
saw it:
"If you like acting, a good play, real
entertainnxxtt and, above all, a genuine
surprise, go to see 'Sun Up' at the Town
Theatre. No doubt you have your own
ideas of what may be accompiished with
i.group of college boys and girls on a
stage, and however optimistic they may
be, there's no doubt that 'Sun Up,' as
Danny Reed's group of University stu
lents has d(one it, will raise them.
"'Sun Up' is finished: it is done as
neatly and with as fine a polish as any
thing you've ever seen labelled "ama
teur." There's a certainty about its
rogress and a definiteness in its action
hat you'd not have believed possible in
anything done by the much (and per
haps justiy) maligned youth of today.
It is a surprise that will sweef) you off
our feet as it did last night's audience
md bid you pay it the obeisance that is
iue aiy work of art.
In the first place and most important
f all, in view of the youth of the cast,
Sun Up' is a play in which every part
s a 'character' part. These young people
ire playing old people, and old people
)f a sort they've probably never seen,
it that. It requires, and they deliver,
Ilusion of a sort that make up and set
:4gs and lighting can't produce. It is
tribute to them and to Danny Reed
hat they do deliver it superbly.
"Few characterizations that have been
een on the stage of the Town Theatre
ave equalled that of Miss Louise Duke
