...extent that an actor succeeds in feeling like his stage role, he will be convincing on stage. What Cooper has tried to do with his cast in The Bonds of Interest is to get them into character not only through the mind--but through the "center" as well. If an actor can find his center and then make his stage role part of that center, uniting the literary creation with his own gut, he can actually become the character he is trying to create. For the few hours of the play, the transformation will be real. Acting will...
...because everything else is ugly. . . ." This is a flippantly stated philosophy, but the hedonistic note it sound accords well with Vian's own life-style. A cardiac case from childhood, Vian decided to ignore his illness with a vengeance. He was a jazz musician, a composer, an engineer, an actor and a playwright as well as a novelist.

Frank McCarthy came as an actor to make his debut in Slave, and has starred in Birdbath and Death of Bessie Smith since then.

New crowds will allow more extensive advertising, and Samshak hopes the whole thing will snowball...
...production now running at the Park Square Motor Hotel, The Fantasticks is presented with zest and with an understanding of what this kind of half-serious Little Mary Sunshine romance is about. Boy and girl are beset by their conniving fathers, who arrange for a cowboy, a tired Shakespearian actor, and an Indian to stage a "quality rape" of girl so that boy may save her and their marriage may be lasting. This results in immense confusion, but the evils of the world and the power of Love are established on the way to a happy ending. The Fantasticks keeps...
