Lindsay to play Pa 6enee in kempy
Theatre-goers marvel at how the
Lakewood Players can learn and act
in so many different parts during a
season. They also express astonish-
ment at the resources of writer's who
can make plays SO interesting and
so filled with varied complications.
They may also stand in awe Of the
man behind the scenes" who Pre-
pares the plays for presentation.
This covers three OF the important
branches of the theatre, each sep
arate and distinct field of endeavor.
At Lakewood this season is a>mod-
est young man who is equally eGic-
lent in all three departments. How
ard Lindsay is demonstrating to the
complete satisfaction Of all who see
him that he can act in the finished
, sense of the word. His work in Tea
for Three" this week as leading man
is par excellence itself. LII addition
to this, the play is a fine example of
his stage generalship, as no fault
can be found with the manner in
which he has staged the Megrue COM
edy.
Next week in "Kempy" he will COW
err all three of these subdivisions CT
theatrical enterprise. He will stage
the play; he will act the part of Pa
Bence, and he is also author OF the
play.
This will mark the first time at
Lakewood that an author has ever
appeared in his own play. Due to
the long run of ''Kempy" in New
York, it is safe to forccas. that Mr..
Lindsay is as accomplished as a
playwright as he is in the acting and
directing end of the theatre.
