PEER GYNT
Continued from Page One)

Space does not permit a
lengthy review of the drama and
all its characters, but particular
ly outstanding was the charac-
terization of Peer Gynt by Don
nell SLOVENIAN. Jan Pratt, taking
over the part of Aase the last
two weeks of rehearsal when
Gerd Young injured her back
was excellent in her portrayal
of the woman her neighbors call
ed crazy. Virginia Young played
the part of Solveig with skill and
understanding.
Lois Zierk, as Anitra, danced
with grace and precision which
made Anitra's Dance one of the
highlights of the show.
Arrangements of portions of
Grieg's Peer Gynt Suites" fur
nished the musical background.
Especially effective was the
music during the scene of AaSe's
death, when the choir behind
scenes hummed "Aase's Death.
Waterside Theatre lent itself
admirably to the creation of the
woodland scenes necessary for
the production, also to the desert
scenes, and those in charge of
properties deserve word of
commentator, as well as all
who had even minor roles in the
drama itself.
DR.. Welch entertained the cast
after the show with water
