OPENING NIGHT Town Theatre Well Received By Jim Fuller Special Writer A somewhat less than capacity audience responded enthusiasti calry to the opening night per- I formance of the Town Theatre's presentation of "Witness For the Prosecution." This dramatization of Agatha Christie's "whodunit" is capably performed, ably di rected and very effectively com plemented by well constructed and accurately descriptive sets. At least three of the thespians must be patted on the back for truly outstanding performances. George R. P. Walker, Jr., whor plays an incredibly naive young man suspected of murder, handlesI his demanding role in excellent fashion. If any fault is to beI found in his' characterization it is his inability to convince thee audience that he could possiblyt commit a misdemeanor, much less I a heinous crime. He is very per sonable and thoroughly charmingt from the play's opening almost - to the end.

Her performance runs the emotional gamut from an almost stoic calm to hysterical collapse and is handled throughout with -disarming ease.
