For Circlet Building Fund
By Bea Beutel

heart backing a fine performance,!

sented "The Philadelphia Story,"
a pleasant comedy written by the
late Philip Bary.
Playing to an over capacity
crowd of Circlet Community
Theatre benefiters, the Hayloft
cast succeeded in pleasing each
patron with smart and polished
dialogue, and a final "cinder" in
the eye. The company generously
donated all proceeds of the Tues
day night performance to the
Christine Graham Memorial
Building Fund for Circlet. David
Andrews, co-manager of the
Theatre, speaking after the per
formance, stated that any concern
in community theatre is one of
Interest to professional players.
Leading the cast of excellent
actors this week is Paulle Clerke
playing "Tracy Lord," a highbrow
Philadelphia "main-line" heiress
once married but divorced for her
lack of kindly understanding.
Miss Clark portrays the gradual
breaking down of the confident
young man as plans for her mar
riage to "George Kittredge;
played by John Darley. bring her
surprising character sketches of
herself from interested friends.
Sure of her new love, Tracy is
disgusted when a reporter and
photographer come to write up
the wedding for a magazine,
seemingly using the "once mar
ried, high society" angle as a rea
son. Her anger becomes aroused
when her ex-husband "Dexter
Haven," played by Arthur Howe,
hangs around making cracks
about their unsuccessful mar
riage. In various talks, Tracy is first
told by Dexter in explanation of
their trouble, that she is charm
ing yet has always had the down
fall of hating weakness. He ex
plains to her that men find her
as like to a "goddess," who
arouses their ego to be able to
conquer. She thinks this an
nouncement silly until her fiance
later states that he considers her
something great and above grasp
ing, as a goddess. When finally
her father, known to be dissatis
fied with his home life, and whom
she hates for his disloyalty, in
forms her that hers is a heart
of steel and that she, lacking
sweetness, might be partly to
blame for his wanderings, she be
comes half confused, yet mad.
In a well played drunken scene
between herself and Mike the re
porter, played by David Andrews
in wise-cracking wit and humor,
Tracy joins a two party midnight
swim and aftermath witnessed by
her fiance and ex-husband. Turn
ing human after all. she sees her
confused former viewpoint and
dashes about in a morning hang
over, reformed by Mike's slant on
life and love, finding a good and
loving substitute at the altar for
her disgusted fiance. Miss Clarke
brings out handkerchiefs when
she and her father are reconciled
in the closing minutes, as they
proceed to the wedding ceremony

Lincoln actor, Leo Hill, in playing
