BY CHARLOTTE P. REED
To we who last week saw TARTUFFE
The PC Players gave most ample proof
That poetry can really swing
And classics do not lose their sting.
If in his time Moliere had wit
Today his play remains a hit!
The language, rich, sonorous, rhyming,
Was well combined with graceful miming
And filled an almost barren stage
With all the atmosphere of Moliere's age.
The players declaimed with ease and pleasure
the gems of Moliere’s comic treasure
To make the evening a delight.
Marcia Whitman began the night
With a Dorine so smart, sagacious,
(Not to mention cute, flirtatious)
That her performance set the lively pace
To keep this saucy servant in her place.
David Hood, as portly burgher Orgon
Made naivete and gullibility a foregone
Conclusion with his stolid stubborn mein --
His blindness was amazing to be seen!
His wife Elmire was played by Dianne Waters
And Becky Grogan was Marianne, his daughter.
Each lady performed true to her part,
Marianne, dutiful daughter from the start
Still sobbed with vigour from her broken heart
Miss Water’s Elmire also stood apart --
Her graceful beauty, cool and blue,
Was the highborn charm that made Tartuffe pursue.
Bob Boody played the knave Tartuffe,
Idabod Crane, hypocrite, spoof,
With hands aflutter near his chest
And eyes rolled heavenwards to be blest
At every moment he did his best
To cuckold Orgon in bitter jest
A Tiny Tim without his ukelele
Boody’s Tartuffe will be remembered daily!
To support him were Cleante, Damis, Valere,
(Who seemed uneasy with their page-boyed hair!)
Dexter Ross portrayed Damis the son,
Pete Peterson was Valere, Marianne’s True One--
The first a hothead, quick tempered, loud,
The second a lover, touchy and proud.
As the Uncle Rodney Clark could hold his own;
He made of Cleante sweet reason’s tone
Bent on opening Orgon’s deluded eyes,
Plus declaiming Moliere’s philosophy to the skies.
(An expository part is hard to play,
It is often meant for the author’s say.)
The final gem was Monsieur Royal
Whom Juan Amaya played as a pain royal!
As the epitome of a hypocrite
His caricature was an instant hit.
Three small parts completed the cast:
McMillan, the policeman, came in last.
Libba Flower® was the**lje|py mai<£ r. f
And the redoubtable qrndnp^ber was .portrayed
By righteous, indignant Candy Connell
Who made a fierce Madame Pernelle.
Mr. Rains must be proud of his Players
We hope good things will come in pairs.
As I end I make this plea
(I know by now its plain to see
That a Moliere I’ll never be)
Forgive this wildly rhyming spree
It’s fun to try some poetry!
Thank you.

To develop her program topic,
Mrs. Walker showed examples of
art of the Baroque Period and
told of music of this same per
iod which perhaps reached their
peak of attainment in the works
of Rubens ind Bach, a period
characterized by art that was
“restless, energetic, realistic,
and natural ”, and music that could
be described as “ecstatic and
exhuberant*.
