‘ The Shining Hour’ Is Now
In Four-Day Showing Here
By MARK CHANDLER
“The Shining Hour” a play by
Keith Winter, is the current How¬
ard Masquers production being
presented Wednesday through Sat¬
urday evenings this week at 8:30
in the college auditorium.
The drama, although threadbare
in spots, generally holds the audi¬
ence with its suspense and compli¬
cation. The English countryside
scene proves an interesting and
contrasting background to the
story of ingenious intrigue devel¬
oping among the characters.
Special laurels for acting
should go to Doris Moore in
the role of Mariella. She turned
in a stimulating performance
aa a guileless but too-beautifui-
to-be-good newcomer In a rath¬
er musty and convention -ridden
English family.
Durwood McAlister runs a glose
second in theatrical ability if his
rendering of Henry. Marlella’s
aging bridegroom, is any indica¬
tion. McAlister leaves the audience
fully aware of Henry’s easy-going
and suspiciousless nature. His oro¬
tund voice and impressive stage
appearance supplements his artful
acting.
Alao mentionable In the outstand¬
ing category is Jo Luther’s por¬
trayal of Judy, who is selflessness
personified. Miss Luther makes
convincing a role which could easi¬
ly be over-acted and become maud¬
lin and melodramatic.
Martha Martin aptly depicts
Hannah, the meddling and captious
old-maid sister who "overruns” the
household. She prates about "hon¬
esty” and says “I was bom with a
strong sense of responsibility and I
suppose I shall die with one."
Bill Bain as David, Judy's hus¬
band and Mariella’s furtive lover,
is usually effective, but at times
gets too over-heated to be impres¬
sive.
The part at Mickey, the family's
youngest and most headstrong, is
played by Robert Youngblood. He
manages to further complicate an
already much involved situation,
but sometimes seems a bit extra¬
neous.
The action of the play pivots
aroqnd the reappearance
о
t
Henry, the eldest brother, into
the family circle. With him re¬
luctantly cornea his latest at¬
tempt at matrimony, the young
and seductive Mariella. Henry’s
graying hair and forty-eight
years compare unfavorably in
Marlella’s eyes with his young
and handsome, but already at¬
tached, brother, David.
Judy, David's wife, has the in¬
sight to realize the mutual attrac¬
tion between her mate and the
beautiful newcomer. Hannah, too,
rises an impending eruption of
the family status quo, but Is re¬
frained by the unobtrusive Judy
from bringing about a showdown.
Matters become so imbroiled that
only the . death of Judy and the
elopement of David and Mariella
can bring down the final curtain.
The production is under the di¬
rection of Mr. John Newfield, head
of Howard's drama department
