Art for
Aggies 9 Sake
By WELTON JONES
Maurice Evans and his organization, who will present
“No Time For Sergeants” on a Town Hall program Monday,
have done a very meritorius service indeed for the millions
of American theater-lovers who don’t live in the immediate
vicinity of Broadway.
What they have managed to do, in effect, is arrange
to present, in cities like Col
lege Station (and, of course,
on stages like that at White
Coliseum) a complete, out
standing Broadway hit,
only two years and three months
after it opened in New York!
Evans, famed for his “G. I.
Hamlet” with which he toured
both theaters of World War II, is
said by many to have been main
ly responsible for keeping Shake
speare alive in the U. S. during
the 1930’s. Now, along with
other promoters with other tour
ing troupes, he may be responsi
ble for a new revival of “theater
in the sticks”. »
For it seems that the chief
objection to the legitimate the
atre in the United States today/
is the fact that it is available to
a relative few in the largest
cities, principally New York.
(Say what you will, amateur
companies and little theater
groups will never replace the
same show done by a group of
competent professionals. They
aren’t, in fact, intended to).
The twentieth century has seen
a predominance of the theater as
an entertainment medium match
ed, perhaps, by no other period in
history. The plays we get today
are good—very good.
But until they can reach the
population of the whole country
on the legitimate stage, they
can’t fulfill their entire enter
tainment possibilities and obliga
tions.
Producers like Evans are doing
their part.
characters played, in the Evans
company, by 21 actors, “No Time
For Sergeants” is probably the
most elaborate stage attraction
to appear here in many years.
Charles Hohman, a former ser
viceman who worked with Evans
in the Pacific during the war,
will be seen as Will Stockdale,
the most cheerful disorganizer
ever inflicted upon the U. S. Air
Force by the draft.
This is the role created on
Broadway by Andy Griffith. Hoh
man stepped into the role after
Griffith left for greener pas
tures and he played it for the
last 100 performances there.
Among other members of the
cast will be Tucker Ashworth as
Stockdale’s studious friend Ben,
who really wanted in the In
fantry; Rex Everhart as the
long-suffering sergeant of the
title; and three members of the
original Broadway cast, James
Millhollin, Howard Freeman and
Royal Beal as a psychiatrist and
two generals, respectively.
Morton Da Costa, who directed
the show, currently has two oth
er long-run hits on Broadway:
“Auntie Marne” and “The Music
Man”, this season’s “big” musical.
Louis Kronenberger, editor of
the highly-respected “Best Plays
of 19 ” annual, picked “Ser
geants” as one of his top ten
choices for the 1955-56 season.
In a season filled with heavy
drama (“Waiting for Godot”,
“Hatful of Rain”, “The Chalk
Garden”, “A View From the
Bridge” and others) he hailed it
as “simple-minded fun” with
“sustained improbability and
morning-fresh outrageousness”.
The play was presented for
800 performances in New York.
It will come to College Station
after a week in Houston.
