Gaylcrd Marr, author and lead ing actor of "New Tomorrow," an original one act play presented Thursday night in the Temple theater, showed promise in both fields in an intriguing story of a returned veteran suffering with an extreme case of war nerves. The story was presented in a series of flashbacks with Bill Lu cas playing the part of a reporter and narrating the action from an improvised platform to the right of the main stage. Marr and Lucas gave the outstanding perform ances of the evening. Ann Proper was Kitty, the wife who the veteran felt had become disloyal during his three year ab sence. At times her characteriza tion appeared to be somewhat forced. Minor Roles. Robert Wheeler, Rex Cosier, Fred Lorenz, Lois Jarman and Arlene Marylander gave convinc ing performances as minor char acters.
