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

Ben Strouse
Hearing on Assateague
(This editorial by WWDC President Ben Strouse is being
broadcast during the current 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.
