Perhaps his best scene is the one where he is about to choke to death; the tension could be felt building. Review The play centers around a family which seems to have undergone a terrible trauma and never recovered. An old couple with two feuding sons — one is a lunatic and the other has a wooden leg — live in a ramshackle house. The him from an upstairs bed room. Danny Potts plays Dodge, the seemingly senile old man who also is an alcoholic. Potts, in his third production of the season, has the audience be lieving from the very start that he really is an old man about Peck Phillips, who plays Dodge’s son, Tilden, also turns in a good performance. Although Tilden is about 30 years old, he reverts back to childish behavior throughout the play, as did some of the other characters. It is Tilden who brings up the secret of something that happened in the backyard — a mystery which continues until the end of the play. The acting was good, but three and a half hours made the play drag. By the last scene the audience was ready for the play to end. However, leaving early was out of the question because of the unresolved mystery in the backyard. The actors brought out the symbolism of the play to its fullest. At times the audience seemed to lose Shephard’s reasoning, but the last scene wove the separate threads into a single thought. “Buried Child” will con tinue tonight, Saturday and March 3-5 in the Rudder Forum. All performances be gin at 8 p.m. DWI approaches debated United Press International AUSTIN — House Speaker Gib Lewis, under fire from rep resentatives claiming he is pro liquor, says stiffening penalties against driving while intoxicated offenders is more important than raising the legal drinking age or banning open containers of alcohol in cars. Lewis Wednesday described the open container and legal age bills as “frills” in proposed DWI reforms and said he had heard from no one besides the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers who was interested in passing them. Bills to ban open containers of alcohol in cars and to raise the legal drinking age from 19 to 21 have been the most controver sial of proposals aimed at beef ing up DWI laws. Lewis refused to say outright whether he fa- vofed either of the proposals, saying he wanted to see more statistics on results of similar laws passed in other states. make it to the House floor for debate. Lewis, D-Fort Worth, denied that he had stacked the House Liquor Resulation Committee with pro-liquor members.

Lewis, also criticized for accepting $5,500 in contribu tions from the liquor industry, said nearly every member of the House had received liquor in dustry contributions. Campbell’s three sons have filed suit to reclaim their mother’s fortune, which was be queathed to her granddaughter, Katherine Zeidan, and her hus band, Hafez, shortly before Mrs. Campbell’s death. The lawsuit charges the Zeidans falsely told Campbell her sons were seeking to have her declared mentally incompe tent and convinced Campbell of the need to give her $ 1.5 million estate to the Zeidans.
