Ken Pot The USC Young Republic for a day long meeting of the Republicans Saturday at Room in Capstone. Speakers included Ker "Cat on By BOB BIGALKE Staff Writer Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is classed among hiq best works. Town Theater haq undertaken to produce thi. psychological masterpiece anc realizing what a task this is, hai assembled what ought to be one ol the finest casts ever to appear in E community theater anywhere. Incredible as it may seem, a! one reads over the cast, Williams "Cat.' is merely adequate In the role of Maggie, the "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," is Kathy Dreiman. She does not bring to the stage the intensity or depth of character necessary for a bet ter-than-average portrayal of i woman stranded in a marital situation she does not like but will do nothing to change. She must leave it to her husband Brick, played by Kathy Dreiman's off stage husband, David. Mr. D)reiman. too seems drained, restrained and merely adequate in the role. His portrayal of an alcoholic living in the past anc blaming himself for the death o1 his closest friend does not dc Williams' writing justice. Brich comes across as a man who is quiei and feeling sorry for himself, in stead of a man of pent-ul dynamism. In the two other major roles o Hig D)addy and Big Mama are Jin EZ. Quick and Bette Herring. Mrs Herring, in trying not to try to hard, didn't try enough to create character that would hold up 01 stage as being different from he own. Mrs. Herring will disappoim those who know her with he portrayal of Big Mamma as beinl only a slightly older picture c herself. Quick, possibly one of the mo! experienced and talented actorsi the Southeast, was a bitte disappointment .

He seems to be a mere figure on stage to fill space and recite 'lines, filled out by no character whatsoever. He was not the Big Daddy of Williams. It is possible that Quick suffers from insufficient rehearsal as he came into rehearsal for "Cat" a mere two and a half weeks before it opened.

Also appearingwe6Pat Durgin and Les Miller as Mae (Sister Woman) and Gooper (Brother Man). They are seemingly unable to put across a married couple whose bliss goes to deeper than is necessary to make a good im pression on Big Daddy. Jim Guignard appears as Reverend Tooker. Mr. Guignard doesn't have much of a role, but he does manage to handle it well. Wesley Baldwin, as Dr. Baugh, is also adequate.
