...feminine leads, played by Bronia Sielewicz and Leslie Cass, seem considerably more at case on the stage. As rivals for swift's as Vanessa, is the emotional woman, quite ready to display her feelings; Miss Siclewicz, as Stella, creates the picture of the persecuted wife, quite proud of her own suffering. Other members of the cast could be singled out for varying degrees of competency. Catherine Huntington, for instance, contributes a fine monologue in the last act, as she reads to an insane Doctor swift. And Edward Finnegan is suitably foolish as the pompous Dr. Berkley...
...curtain raiser, there is, for some reason or other, Alfred de Musset's A Door Must Be Open Or Shut, a one act play of trivial epigram and some humor, featuring the well-developed acting of Leslie Cass as a teasing and flirting Marquise. Joseph Mitchell plays a droll, glib Count with too much seriousness, and in too much of a hurry, leaving any timing up to the capable Miss Cass. The program notwithstanding, there was no indication that the play had a director, both Miss Cass and Mitchell fending--and fairly well--for themselves...
...other speakers displayed an equivalent lack of unanimity, particularly in their views of the senatorial campaign, which has presented a dilemma for the A.D.A. state chairman LaRue Brown '04 denounced Furcolo. Hector M. Holmes '06, head of the Boston law firm, contented himself with endorsing Herter for governor. Joseph Cass, political action director of the state C.I.O. and the only non-A.D.A. member of the panel, completed the confusion by going down the line for the Democratic ticket...
...tonight at 8:30 p.m. at the Boston Harvard Club on "How should the Massachusetts liberal vote in the coming election?" Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, professor of History, and Mark DeWolfe Howe '28, professor of Law, will speak, with LaRue Brown, head of the Massachusetts A.D.A. and Joseph Cass, director of the political action committee...
...other outstanding performer is Michael Plisko, who overcomes, with equal skill, a problem much different from Miss Cass's. Since his is the best role the play offers, it demands a superior ability, providing most of the plot's impetus and interest. Plisko gives a thoughtful performance, creating a character whose stature merits the two hour attention of an audience. Actually, he fills a slight gap left by Thomas Whedon, who plays a Christ-like figure (not unnaturally named Chris), described as one whose mere presence fills his friends with noble sentiments. Since this is a pretty hard role...
