Our Father who art in Heaven . . 'The Male Animal' Ends Successful Run Wednesday By KEN POWELL The Town Theatre closed its doors Wednesday night on its 267th production - "The Male Animal." The hilarious play by James Thur ber and Elliott Nugent was espe cially enjoyed by students because the setting could have beeh here on our own campus. Director Crotty's superb job of casting was reflected in the mag nificent portrayals of college per sonalities by the individual actors. Mrs. L. Marion Jordan was out standing in her portrayal of Ellen Turner in that she seemed to fit into the personality of the p)art perfectly. Emmiiett Greshami acted the part of Tonmmy Turner the professor wvho had many troubles, well, and was especially good in the dr'unk scene. Helen Bryson, who played the part of Patricia Stanley, blended her attractiveness with hier personality to p)roduce a strik ing performnance. In our opinion the Town Theater wvill make good use of the talent of this newcomer to its stage. D)ean and Mrs. Frederick Damon was played by Frank Harris and Frances Fossett wvho acted the p)arts quite well. Roy Lind seemed to understand and capture the per sonality of the joyful Joe Fergu son, the ex-football player, who dlisrupted the professor's home. His performance wvas one of the best of the play. Louis A. Searson, Jr., playing the p)art of Ed Keller, is unique in that one seemed to see Keller's blood pressure rise when he be came angry. Others, who used their talent to insure the success of the play were Margaret Smith, as Cleota; Burrell Sanders, as Wally Myers; Joyce Shirer, as Myrtle Keller; Roy Darby, as a newspaper reporter; and Richard Ballentine (a uni versity student), as Nutsy Miller. Joe Bishop was particularly suited for the p)art of Michael Barnes, the editor of the college literary magazine and the boy who starts the trouble with one of his editorials, because of his having been editor of the literary maga zine here at the university.
