B8 Thursdey, August 8, 1963 SENTINEL SHa Entertainment Roundup Latest Olney Offering Is Superb Production By Margaret Bucky Entertainment Editor A theatrical cobweb, frangible, iridescent and roman tic, is magically being spun before the Olney audiences. “Time Remembered” by Jean Anouilh, opened last week and will be playing through Aug. 18. Prince Albert is sad ... be yond reach in a nimbus of melancholia. Two years have past, but his days are haunted by the palpitating memory of Laocadia. In a trio of days the world had been theirs . . . and then . . . choked by her own extravagance. Her veil of chif fon, flung in farewell, wound too tight about her neck and she was gone! The Duchess, aunt of Prince Albert, flutters helplessly. In vain her every effort to relieve the burden of memory of her young nephew lingers. An idea occurs to her, and a young Parisian milliner is brought to the country estate where they live. Amanda bears an uncanny likeness to the lost Laocadia. Tutored in Laocadia’s ways by the duchess, she stands in for the memory. Prince Albert is at first fooled by the masquerade and they live in the fantasy. But Amanda is Amanda. Fin ally she cannot be Laocadia. Prince Albert, facing the real girl can neither give up his loss nor accept the reality. It is a land of make-believe, this country estate, the lush forest in which Amanda wan ders frightened and lost. The night club and the inn are of no world she knows and she longs for Paris. ‘Time Remembered” tells a story underneath its powderpuff exterior. Prince Albert, enam ored of a memory grows up. It Is the duchess who, wise behind her fey facade, shows that Lao cadia actually was in love with herself, and the prince in love not with her but with his created image. "Time Remembered” Is, in a subtle way, about growing up Some of us do, some of us try, some of us just stay! The production at Olney is su perb. There are four very complicated sets which are beautiful to look at and comple ment the performances. As the duchess, Eleanor Phelps blends qualities light and serious into a meaningful characterization. Robert Milll looks the lost prince that he Is supposed to be. Angela Thornton’s quite un fantastlc natural playing of Amanda gives a balance to the performances. There is not a thing out of place in “Time Remembered.” The Washington Theatre Club this week introduces a new play by Herb Rodgers. This small, growing, new theatre group, 1632 O St. N.W. had its first success last season with "Brecht on Brecht.” "Winter Peach,” opening this week and running through Aug. 18, features Her mione Gregory of Silver Spring, and is a pre-Broadway try-out of a drama dealing with the conflicts and strains imposed on a young couple by suburban living. The playwright is from Mary land. Regularly a professor of drama at Maryland University he left academic life to devote himself to this play. The presen tation is being directed by John Wentworth, founder of the thea ter club. . . . Sharon of Glocca Morra, In Shady Grove’s "Finian’s Rainbow,” playing this week, will be Grace Olson instead of Gale Storm. Originally produced on Broadway in 1947, ‘‘Finian’s Rainbow” is an Irish fantasy about a crock of gold, and lepre-' chauns, combined with social conscious conflicts in America. ... "Fantasticks” ... the young j bittersweet musical which play ed at the Wayside Theatre last week will continue through Sat urday. Jonathan Farwell, who played in the Broadway produc tion, recreates his role of "Elgallo” . . . item to follow on the Wayside’s agenda is “Servi Rte. 11, Middletown, Va. <75 Mill* from Washington) Aug. 6th thru Aug. 10th “THE FANTASTICKS” Curtain 8:30 P.M.

It was produced for the first time on Broadway last spring. . . . Born . . . Nocturn, a magazine which appears on the stands this week.

We welcome comments.) The announcement that the Maryland Board of Public Works heeded by Governor Tewes—will hold a public hearing on the future ot Assateague Island is good news. There’s continuing evidence that the idea of creating e national seashore on Assateague is growing in favor. We hope that the advantages of the national park idea ere adequately presented at the hearing. We can be sura that those favoring private development of fho Island will be present to make their case. While WWDC believei that private development would be a mistake, it is not unmindful of the investment that many individuals have made. The idee of owning a cottage by the see is an almost universal wish. If the decision is made for public development of the island, we would expect the Government to be magnanimous in ac quiring the private property needed for the perk. The individual property owners ere being asked to make a sacrifice for th# benefit of the general public. While that sacrifice cennof be compensated entirely in terms of money, there will be no cause for th# Govern ment to be niggardly in making settlement te private owners.
