Julie Zeller, played by Gwen Pesak, is the leading lady who wins Liliom’s heart, and his love. Liliom does not easily give in to Julie. He treats her badly and pretends not to love her, but he really does. Julie understands him in a way no one else does, she truly loves him even if he is a rot ten guy. The actors excellently por trayed their parts. The beginning scene showed Liliom as the tough, bully he was. He yells at Julie, pushes her around, and talks of his reputation of being such a ladies’ man. Julie was inno cent and naive, and infatuated with Liliom. She really wanted to be his girl.

Mondale-Gromyko meeting lasts 90-minutes Nuclear arms control discussed United Press International NEW YORK — Walter Mondale held an unprecedented meeting with Moscow’s top diplomat Thurs day to review superpower relations and the Soviets suggested that if Mondale were elected president “certain possibilities” for arms con trol would be opened. For his part, Mondale said he did what he could to create a “hopeful environment” for President Rea gan’s meeting today with Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Gromyko. The Democratic presidential can didate, who has repeatedly criticized Reagan for his failure to reach any arms control agreement during his term, held the 90-minute meeting with Gromyko at the Soviet mission to the United Nations. Mondale had stressed going into the session that he did not want to upstage Reagan, and said his mes sage to Moscow would be, “We don’t negotiate as a candidate.” In his comment to reporters after the session, Mondale held out hope that something of substance could come from the Reagan-Gromyko talks at the White House today — an expectation the administration has tried to dampen. “While it’s not possible to specu late on what the outcome of the talks tomorrow might be ... I do believe there is the opportunity tomorrow to make significant progress,” Mondale said. The Soviets, in a statement issued in New York, referred to Gromykci’s speech earlier in the day to the U.N. General Assembly, in which he crit icized Reagan’s harsh attitude to ward the Kremlin and said, “The tug-of-war between the groups that determine U.S. foreign policy has been won by the militaristically minded.” The statement charged that Washington has “wrecked the nego tiations between the (Soviet Union) and the United States virtually on all questions dealing with the cessation of the arms race.” Speaking of Mondale, the Soviet statement said he had advocated “a turn for the better” in relations be tween the two nuclear giants and said: “Some of the ideas suggested by him in this context, should they materialize in Washington’s policy, would open up certain possibilities for bringing the positions of the two powers closer, and for subsequent agreements on arms limitation and disarmament, above all in the field of nuclear weapons.” Mondale told reporters that he only briefly discussed arms control issues, but Gromkyo “spoke mostly about arms control.” “I said practically all Americans want arms control, provided they are mutual, provided they are veri fiable, provided that both sides strictly comply with terms of those agreements, because all Americans saw those agreements as strengthen ing our security and reducing ten sions,” he said.
