KLINGER PONTIAC
By ANN L. MARCHIO
Peter Weiss' forceful and slight-
ly disturbing production of "The
Persecution and Assassination of
Jean-Paul Marat As Performed
by the Inmates of the Asylum of
Chartenton Under the Direction
of the Marquis de Sade," more
commonly referred to as "Marat
de Sade," was presented last night
at Hill Auditorium.
Sponsored by the University's
Professional Theatre Program, the
production is by the National
Players Company, organized by
Zev Bufman in October 1966 and
composed of fifty American ac-
tors, designers, director and tech-
nicians. The company was created
to produce contemporary drama
as well as new version of stage
classics.
Carefully paced by the director
Donald Driver the play has a
number of effective motifs, among
these are the whimsical motivation
of the mob and allegory on the life
of Christ. There is also a comic
relief character in the form of the
only sane man of the production,
the director of the asylum, played
by Edward Holmes. He serves to
connect the audience with the ac-

tion in a most obvious way, yet,
the impact is even reinforced by
the audience's laughter.
The music, under the direction
or Rod Derefinko, is another in-
teresting highlight of the play.
Although there is a strong sense
of rhythm, the songs sound like
elaborate recitatives, almost at
home with Handel or Bach com-
positions.
A group of four figures, distin-
guished by their make-up and
choreography have a multiple pur-
pose. At times they provide an
animated and ethereal contrast to
these serious speeches of the Mar-
quis and Marat but also have two
additional roles. They act as a
Greek chorus when necessary,
commenting and filling in the
audience. And they become Furies,
haunting and molesting the mind
of Marat.
In this rather incongruous and
dynamic aura are juxtaposed the
protagonist and antagonist.
Marat, sitting in a literal bath
of mortification, watches his high
ideals concerning the rights of
man in the French revolution be-
come ineffectual because of the
greediness inherent inhthe revolu-
tionaries. Despite their victories
they still yell, "Marat, we're poor

"I've ironed my hair...tried lots of torchery
things to get rid of natural curl."
(This is how Dee Dee Dolan looked before using
CURL FREE. And these are her own words.) "It's ob-
noxious...not so much the ringlets... as the frizzy
ends. I've tried all kinds of things to get the curl
out but nothing does it. I have to set it in great big
rollers...and just keep myfingers crossed.Whenever
it's even a little damp outside...the set comes right
out. My hair just hangs sort of bushy.
"I've always envied kids who've had straight hair.
I'd really love to wear those straightcollegiate styles.
Do you really think CURL FREE can do that for me?"
"My bangs! The sides! Curl Free really
took the curl out."
"The bangs-that's the part I'm crazyabout.And it's
springy.You know...not limp or anything. I love it! It
was simple, too.Mainly, I just applied CURL FREE and
combed it through. Now I won't have to set it as
much.ltwon'tfrizz up-fantastic!"-DEE DEE DOLAN.
Comb those natural curls right out ofyour hairwith
cool, creamy CURL FREE. Even if your hair is so curly it
puts up a real fight-it will surrender to CURL FREE.
