Show to Thc Descul Gazette September 12, 1975 Page 3 Mosq zfflari&' OUT n Great acting for a poor play by Frank and Curie Connolly Entertainment writer If you are among those who enjoy a romantic, fairy-tal- e type of show, lose Marie, currently showing at Theatre 138, is something you'll want to include in your plans. Those familiare with the show or who simply enjoy such Rose Marie and songs as 'Indian Love Call, can go bask in the moonlight of this intoxicating fantasy's nostalgia Don't go just for the play; the plot is slow moving with little real conflict until the end of Act I, and why in the world was a Hindu in Act II? However, Rudolf Fund's music carries the show and the willing listener can be lulled into contented viewing. Rase Marie as played straight in its day was thoroughly enjoyable, it is still enjoyable when played straight as Theatre 138 performs it, but some creative directing could update it and make it even more enjoyable for today's sudienccs. ceafldent and at ease Marsha Miller was very good as Rose Marie; her voice is beautiful and the night we saw the show she seemed very confident and at ease. True, this is her first lead role and she will profit from more experience but we en'Injoyed her performance. dian Love Call' is a very difficult song to sing being so well known and sounding so deceptively simple, but the prolonged, sustained notes are murder to hold without going a shade off pitch. Marsha is JBs to be complimented for her rendition of it. Our ony two criticisms of her would be the lack of a rounded 'oo' when singing 'Indian Love Call which resulted in more of sn 'ece' sound than oo and the fact that a golden opportunity for some acting was missed when the signal warning her lover to leave was sung with the sxmc gusto, smiles and charm as when they sang the same song together and all We felt that the was well. director should have been on top of that one. Stephen Cracroft, as sergeant Malone, also has a very good voice; his upper register with its dear, unrestrained notes was espcrially pleasing. This fact together with fine acting would have made him a good candidate for the lead. Gene McCoun was a hoot d as Herman; he stole the show with his Shouldn't We.' (This was a good example of creative direction.! Janet Poole as 'Lady' Jane was entertaining and together they made a comical pair. Sally Marold who played Wanda is a very good actress. Her part was so small that she was almost unnoticed until she soloed with Totem Tom-Toand did an excellent job. We would like to see more of her in the future. David Evans did well as Edward Hawley, the villain; he acts well and has a pleasing voice. Michael Gray as Jim Kenyon was a little disappointing in the opening scenes but seemed to improve as the show continued.

Max Shewed did well at the piano and the singers seemed responsive to his lead. However we were disturbed by the lack ' of interpretation in the song Rose Marie' - no matter who sang it, it was done at the same tempo with the same pauses and innuendos. We find it hard to believe that the lover, the chorus, and a rejected suitor would all sing in the exact same manner. The Mounties' was another song that begged for some innovative interpretation, but they played it straight with nothing but a marching step to move it along. Again we must comment on the noise created by the turning mechanism for the stage. A brief conversation with Director Ariel Ballif informed us that lack of funds prohibits improvements in this area. However it would cost nothing to wait for the noise to cease before starting the dialogue. Theatre 138 must be complimented for its bill of fare. It offers a wider variety of plays than any other group in the valley. Their philosophy appears to be 'something for everyone fur the betterment of understanding the value of We applaud live theatre.' their efforts in this area.
