Theatre's Final
Play Blusters
In on April 26
BY WALLY BECKER.
Swirling in on a shrill gale from
the moors of Yorkshire and blust
ering in fierce gusts about the
eaves of Temple comes the final
play of the University Players'
season, MOOR BORN, April 26.
MOOR BORN is high drama; al
ways intense, at times tragic. It
is a portrait of the Bronte sisters,
those brilliant and strange Eng
lish novelists who poured out their
hearts in "Jane Eyre," "Wuther
ing Heights" and "Vilette." In
1845 in the poverty-stricken par
sonage of Hawoth, England,
Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte
stopped their ears to the fiery
incantations of their father, shut
their eyes to the debaucheries of
their brother, Branwell, and ran,
arm-in-arm, across the moors,
their solace and their inspiration.
Spineless - Branwell.
Cene Hougsy plays the gifted
and spineless Branwell Bronte,
who slowly dissipates his literary
genius thru drink, to rob the world
of what might weil have been the
chief of all English novelists.
Hougsy's sisters are Lucy Ann
Hapeman, who panicked 'em as
the gossipy neighbor in "Papa Is
All," Gloria Beaumont, outstand
ing as X)parre in "The Wingless
Victory'; and Margaret Hunter as
Anne Bronte.
Blanche Duckworth ("I'm
typed") portrays the Yorkshire
maid; Miss Duckworth was the
wardrobe maid in "The Skin of
Our Teeth." Tabby, ailing and
