Go see Roy t a A~ii ii^I lviuu as uiiyci vv euucii nuuucs m nit: historical comedy, The Magnificent Yankee at Town Theater. Emmet Lavery's play follows the lives of Justice and Mrs. Oliver Wendell Holmes through their three influential decades in Washington. Their lasting effect on the American political scene is portrayed through Holme's running debates with members of the Adams clan, the Roosevelts ? both Theodore and Jhranklin ? and the more than two dozen legal secretaries that served him on the Supreme Court, not to mention occasional discussions of his opinions by his wife, Fanny. ... The play was co-directed by Pelbert Mann and Town Theatre's current resident director, Emmalee Robbins. Mann received a Best Director Oscar for the 1955 film Marty and a Golden Globe for All Quiet on the Western Front. His recent credits include April Morning and the Last Days of Patton. Roy Lind was absolutely perfect as .Justice Holmes. From gestures to .facial expressions, he was believable. His performance was one of the best historical portrayals I've seen anywhere. I Lucy Alpaugh as Mrs. Holmes was at her best when she controlled the action and had the last word. She eloquently moved through a wide range of emotions as she and Mr. Holmes discussed politics, the absence of .children and a young nurse. Bill Canaday as Brandeis gave the audience a character rich with interesting speech patterns and car uagc. nttiiy nciz.ci, juaci>u ivcaibL*, ;Mike Atkins and Glenn Farr were ^convincing as legal secretaries to Justice Holmes.

The many people who worked in darkness between scenes to change the sets should also be recognizcd. They quickly changed hand props, appointments and furniture to show the natural evolution of change that takes place in a home over 30 years. Costumer Searle Rowland completed her assignment effectively with dresses and suits appropriate for the occasion. Especially nice was Mrs. Holmes' dress for dinner with the president. If some of the supporting cast members had been a little older or appeared a little older with the help of makeup, the validity of several scenes would have been stronger. The play is not only about politics; it's about love and life and dying. You don't have to be familiar with terms like "certiorari" and "dissenting opinion" to enjoy the humor that evolves from these loving companions. The Magnificent Yankee will run through May 28.
