...statement by Frederick Douglass--"A man is worked on by what he works on. He may carve out his circumstances, but his circumstances carve him out as well"--is a difficult touchy task. To say that playwright Philip Hayes Dean's one-man play, Paul Robeson, starring James Earl Jones and directed by Charles Nelson Reilly, does as sensitive a job as could have been done, given the format and the conventions of the theater, may appear too easy. For this production has upset many of the people who were closest to Robeson, including his son, who has denounced...
...there is to say about Paul Robeson can thus be summed up in a few lines. The play follows Robeson's life chronologically and, in terms of events, faithfully. James Earl Jones, as Robeson, is irresistably charming, though perhaps too irresistably charming, he makes such clever fun of the bigotry and ignorance that surrounded Robeson as he ventured into the world in the first half of the play that it is difficult to fully believe in the rage he vents in the second half.

One woman said, "No one had to worry about conservation until the whites despoiled the land. We've always taken care of our land, and we always will." C. Earl Canderhoop, one Indian resident, dismisses white fears of Indian takeover angrily, says, "Some white people want everything. It's mean and selfish of them not to give us the common land--at one time we owned the whole island, and that's all that's left. There's a case...
...running the show. The harvest is just beginning, and Chip will purchase about $4 million worth of peanuts from farmers in the area, then help handle the processing and marketing. At the end of the day, he returns home to Wife Caron and six-month-old James Earl Carter IV. Trying "to work things out" in their strained marriage, the couple are living for the moment in Rosalynn and Jimmy's ranch house at 1 Woodland Drive. Though the quarters are not up to par with the White House, they top Chip and Caron's last abode...
