Players Tops In "Beyond The Horizon" "The best play since the 18th century!" that's the way director Merrill G. Christopherson describes Eugene O'Neill's play, "Beyond the Horizon," which University of South Carolina Players presented last Wednesday evening, May 29 at 8 p. m. In Drayton Hall. With Griffin Campbell playing the role of Robert Mayo, the Play. ers did a magnificent job of re enacting this tragedy. Some have expressed doubt that this group could succesfully perform a trag edy, but Wednesday night's play proved the contrary. Griffin Campbell found himself in a role that gives full scope to his dramatic powers. Hi. last ap pearance was Uncle Jake in "Chicken Every Sunday." Ira Hudson continued his Play ers career in another blustering part. As Andrew Mayo his part of this universal tragedy Is significant. Jean Hill returned as Ruth, Rob ert's wife. Her frustration, the hor ror of her unending dilemma be came keenly impressed upon the audience before the second act was long underway. Vermon Taylor plays his straight part, as the father, suddenly embit tered at the turn life always takes. Kay Whittaker, as Mrs. Mayo, had a chance to sink her teeth into her role as a strong farm mother. Virginia Woodruff played the pious counterpart of Mrs. Mayo, chair-ridden invalid, the petulant mother of Ruth. Robert Rirsch gave a short por trayal of Ben the stolid, stubborn farm hand. This role served to con tract his recent flexible role as nation-wide debater. Keith Edwards enters the Dray ton Hall stage again as the doctor. His career thus far has been very ari ed. Dick Murison made his last Play ers appearance as the bluff sei captain Scott. uncle of Robert and Andrew. Dick was last seen as the financier of "Chicken Every Sun day." The technical staff is madet up of Margaret De Merrell, scene design er; Lester Alexander, stage man agel: Judith Singer, prompte': Keith Edwards. and Rankq Rnurov. ough, stage hands, and \'irginia Woodruff, husiness manager. Sue Greenspan, president of Uni versity Players, announces that there will he a meeting Wednesday. June 5. at Drayton hall in order to elect new officers.
