Evening star., 1948-05-08

sings the dramatic personal history
of Reve Grant. Reve, like Peer, Is
a spirited opportunist. man with
a poets vision of the universe. and
an irresistible yearning to dominate
it regardless of the cost. There is
charm in Dramatist Dodson's hero
and his bayou neighbors succumb
to it, mostly to their tragic loss. for
what Reve Grant lacks is a con-
science. Again like Peer, he is a
compromiser and he cares not
whether it is good or evil with which
he makes his expedient bargains.
Bayou Legend" is a composite
of drama, music and dance. 1t con-
verts Spaulding Halls stage into
the most active-and sometimes
most exciting-equivalent area in
Washington. In fact, it is the pro-
duction's chief defect that it must
be compressed within SO small an
area where its numerous mass
scenes tend to become something
of clutter. The remarkable thing
about the staging, directed by DR..
Anne Cook, is that the space limi-
tation is not more felt.
DR.. Dodson's conception of Bayou
Legend" is more that Of the poet
than of the dramatist. He is an
author who sees visions and loves
words and whose blending OF the
two stimulates the imagination more
than it satisfies any audience de-
mand for the tidy, or the terse.
In the production of Bayou Leg
end" the author and DR.. Cooke have
come up with rather remarkable
performer in Walter Hall. Few
roles in the theater plays heavier
demands upon the body and voice
than that OF Peer Gynt, or an imagi-
native paraphrase Of the character.
Actor Hall meets its requirements
with a minimum Of faltering.
Other performances which are
notable are those Of Alice Brantley
as the devoted mother; Aileen
Clarke as the witch girl; Elise Tillar
as the innocent maid whose love is
Reve's strongest impulse toward re-
form and goodness; Antoinette
johnson as the snobbish neighbor;
and Charles White as the elderly
priest.
Thomas H. Kerr jr.'s music,
Charles Sebree's costumes and set
tings, and James w. Butcher jr.'s
/ lighting contribute to notable pro-
duction.
