‘Child’ suspenseful
Mystery characterizes play
by Patrice Koranek
Battalion Staff
Dramatic background
music and a fine set were just
the beginning of an excellent
performance of Sam
Shephard’s “Buried Child,”
presented by the Theatre Arts
Program in Rudder Forum
Thursday night.
opening scene shows the old
man curled up on the living
room sofa watching baseball
on TV while his wife nags at
to die. 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.

debate.
Lewis, D-Fort Worth, denied
that he had stacked the House
Liquor Resulation Committee
with pro-liquor members.

Lewis has put pro-liquor indus

areas of the state on the Liquor

LIBERTY — A state district
judge considering a family dis

and subsequent bequest of a Li
berty County millionairess has
taken custody of a safe deposit
box in Pasadena.
State District Judge W.G.
“Dub” Woods, Jr. ordered the
safe deposit box opened to
answer family questions
whether $10,000 contained in
the box was taken legitimately
from the estate of Dorothy
Campbell.

money and was dismayed that it
apparently had been converted
into a cashier’s check to Mrs.
Zeidan.

Campbell, 73, died of a single
gunshot wound to the temple
Dec. 16, but law enforcement
authorities have not ruled on the
cause of death.
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

the need to give her $ 1.5 million
estate to the Zeidans.
