Monday - Saturday, 11 a m.-10 p.m.; Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-lO p.m. 317 South College in the Skaggs Center, 260-9172 by Ruth Wedergren Battalion Reporter The Texas A&rM Theater Arts production of “The Con trast”— an early American com edy set in New York in 1787 — opened to an audience of about 15 people in Rudder Forum Tuesday night. The play’s first act began slowly, but the comedy’s dia logue and actions grew in hilar ity with each of the following The play’s hero, a revolution ary war officer named Col. Hen ry Manly, was portrayed by Doug Golenski with gallantry and patriotic fervor. As his sister review four acts. Charlotte Manly, portrayed by Elizabeth Smith, was reminis cent of Scarlett O’Hara. She bat ted her eyes, fluttered her fan and exaggerated everything. Her main concerns — beaux, gossip and the latest fashions — were shared with her close friend, Letitia, played by Liz Harnden. Maria Van Rough, played by Laurie Allison, was a meek, idealistic American girl who was engaged to a man who was in love with her two f riends. Richard Strayer played the uppity Billy Dimple, the three- woman man. He continually laughed in a high pitch, dabbed his mouth with a lace handker chief and daintily gestured in almost every space available to his reach. His flowery coat fitted his flowery personality. Charlotte said in Act II, Manly spoke sentiment in every sent ence. Some of the most humorous scenes were between the ser vants of Manly and Dimple, Johnathan and Jessamy, played by Peck Phillips and Allen Rudolph. Jessamy was a carbon copy of Dimple, dabbing the month and speaking oh-so-Britishly. One member of the audience said the bumblingjohnathan re minded him of Jethro from “The Beverly Hillbillies.’’ The players were heartily ap plauded by the small audience. The production delighted its modern audience as it must have in its original staging. “The Contrast” is an comical, delightful play that is worth being seen — by more than 15 people.
