When Cast Presents
Fourth Play.
Spacious settings, comprising a
three-story apartment in Catfish
Row in Charleston, South Carolina,
are features of the University
Player's fourth production of the
year, "Porgy," by DuBose Hay
ward. Lauded by New York critics as
being "electrifying," and "superb,"
Porgy is a realistic drama of negro
life from the first scene where a
very real crap game takes place,
to the last when the crippled
Porgy in his goat cart leaves the
Row to rind his runaway woman.
"One character stands out." says
San Francisco papers in comment
ing on the production there. "That
is the irrestible Porgy, whose role
is obviously created for him."
Porgy will be played by Lerner.
"DuBose Hayward knows the
negro, the reckless gaiety of the
race, its superstition, its easy code
of morals, its solidarity and loyalty
to the race, and its flaming pas
sions." Student Takes Part.
