Theater Didn't Look
Homeward For Star
By Larry Adams
Managing Editor
The Little Theater Group has again departed from the
campus to find its top actor. With the present play, KettJ
Fringe' adaption of Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward Angel,
they found a top-flight actor and comedian in William David¬
son, a radio announcer for a downtown station.
Davidson,  wbo plays  the part*,'
of W. O. Oant, the drunken fa¬
ther of Eugene Oant, staggers
onto the stage in the first scene
and from then on the play la hie.
So well does he steal the scenes
that Eugene, the main character,
is relegated to a supporting role.
Alone, Davidson gives the audi¬
ence many side-splitting moments.
With Madam Elisabeth, played by
Ruth Evans, the entire show Is
a credit to vaudeville.
In the final act Davidson teams
with Eltsa Oant, his wife, played
by Julie Winters, and creates the
mood for Robert Ellis' best part,
a solo to end the play. Davidson
and Miss Winters attempt to
destroy Dixieland. Ellia's symbol
or security. After the devastating
attempt. Eliza puts all the blame
on her husband. This scene allows
Ellin to add emphasis to his scene
which, when finished, makes Ihe
audience think the play should
have been titled. Oh Lost, one

to the fresh "Tace of Lavern
O'Reilly, who plays Laura James.
Cast as a 23-year-old engaged
woman, she captures 17-year-old
Eugene and the audience as well.
Both Ellis and Gary Williams,

brother, do creditable Jobs. Wil¬

comes Into his own late in the
first act and Is at his best tn the
death-bed scene.
Ellis, who Is excellent In show¬
ing utter disgust with most of his
surroundings In the play, has no
problem with the words but
stumbles occasionally an their Im¬
portance.
I'erhaps the spot where both
Ellis and Miss Winters do their
best   acting   Is   when   Eugene   Is
trying

Eliza does not wnni this, espe¬
cially after the death of Ben. and
offers her land wealth in order

NEW YORK — Recreational
bosting's growth has tilled the na¬
tion's waterways. But It also adds
to the prosperity of countless sup¬
plies at home and abroad. And
this vear the industry hopes to do
Its bit — aad a little more than
last year — towards the coal of
economic growth to which the na¬
tion aspires.
Pleasure boat builders are
showing; their wares to the trade
at the New York Coliseum today
and will open the doors to the
public Saturday. The displays fea¬
ture mora, than 450 boats, hun¬
dreds of marine engines and thou¬
sands of nautical accessories.
Their Impact on the economy
Id construction, sales and upkeep
Is so diverse as to be next to Im¬
possible to add up In definitive
figures. But In recent years the
boating industry has expanded
fast and Its spokesmen Insist sat¬
uration Isn't yet In sight.
Plastic Construction
About 43 per cent of the boats
on display are of plastic construc¬
tion. 40 per cent of wood. 14 per
cent of aluminum and the rest or
various materials. Some ISO units
have outboard motors, 134 are In¬
board powered, around 100 are
sail boats, and the rest are mis¬
cellaneous craft.
'But back of the displays are
the year around effort a of tho
builders who search the world for
their materials, hire thousands of
skilled and unskilled workers and
support many thousands of others

show. The largest piss tic produc¬
