Talented Cast And Excellent Staging
Make Suspect One of Pospoint's Best

Elizabeth Thompson did an ex-
cellent job of acting as Mrs.
Smith, the object of suspicion, in
Paspoint Little Theater's produc-
ton of Suspect" mystery dra-
ma, Tuesday evening in Moss
Point high auditorium.
Best Performance
Mrs. Thompson, who has had
numerous leads with the Players,
might rate this as her best per
formance, especially the closing
scene when she was on stage
alone shrieking with maniacal
laughter.
She was well supported by a
cast which shared honors with
her as to talent and Interpretation
If their roles. Charles Hightow-
er, who has quite repertoire of
character parts, made a definite
success of his characterization of
DR.. Rendle. Mr.. Hightower's ges-
lures, voice and acting were well
in character and in one spot he
nearly stole the show.
Mrs. Howard Nelson. cast as
the faithful Scotch retainer. had
quite an authentic brogue and.
acted by her. Goudie assumed a
definite personality as the loyal
friend of Mrs. Smith.

love. They both did an excellent
job. Mrs. George Winters role
was also in this category. AS
Lady Const she handled her
scenes with perfect poise.
wilkinson Authentic
Foster Wilkinson is in danger
of being typed for roles as cler-
gyman. His lovely speaking voice
and quite authentic manner make
him a definite success in this
role.
Charles Begdahn played new
type character but did it well.
This time he was a smooth news
paper magnate and did nice job
without clustering and rage
which have characterized his
other leading roles, the Man who
came to dinner and Father.
The cast reflected careful stage
directing in their smooth entran-
ces and exits. Mrs. Roy Wingfield
may take credit for a well direct
ed play which never legged and
held the audience tense.
Setting of the play, the garden
lounge of Mrs. Smiths home in
Cornwall, was carefully repro
duced by the production commit
tee and the lighting committee is
to be complimented on its ham
ding of the brilliant sunlight eff
feet and the purple twilight in
the final scene. The mist which
pervaded the opening scene was
skillfully handled.
