Page Tw6 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, Octabo 24, ,197© , THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, October 24, 1970 Margaret Bourke-White photographs on exhibit Margaret Bourke-White, war correspondent-photographer, in- dustrial photographer, editor and journalist, will be honored with an exhibit of .her work at the Museum of Art, in Alumni Hall, Oct 7 through Nov. 17. The exhibit is one of the events marking the 100th an- zine. She joined the Life maga- zine staff in 1936, serving over- seas as a correspondent-photo- grapher in World War II and the Korean War. The more than 100 photo- graphs in the exhibit, selected by Miss Bourke-White for the occasion, represent all phases I1 I theatre: Directing and buildin a reetr By LAURIE HARRIS "The values in a play must interest everyone in some way," says Allen Fletcher, Artistic Director of the newly formed Actors Company which premier ed in Ann Arbor with In the Matter of J. Robert Oppen- heimer. Fletcher is not small; in fact, he is quite large. But he is un- assuming and takes his seat with a gentle caution. He holds his elbows in tight to his sides and speaks with a soft, but trained voice. His large feathery eyebrows accentuate his words, and his hands punctuate his sentences. Before he speaks it would be difficult to believe that he was Artistic Director of the Amer- ican Shakespeare Festival at Stratford, Connecticut and is presently Resident Director of Ameriea n Conservatory of Theatre in San Francisco., The Actors Company has branched out into the more modern field presenting Ann Arbor audiences with In the Matter of J.Robert Oppen- heimer, a contemporary drama about the ethics behind the de- velopment of the bomb. Fletcher believes the theatre is based on personal experience. "It has to touch your life in some way." Oppenheimer, Flet- cher says, gives the audience a present day "Everyman." He is almost superhuman in his eithical fight against the devel- opment of the bomb creating a character with whom everyone would like to associate. Plays have to speak to the director also, says Fletcher, and Oppenheimer was particularly challenging. It has a great deal of meaning, but the play as it was written by Heinar Kipp- hardt "has no climax." It is merely .,a well edited manuscript from an actual 1954 investiga- tion. "There are no written builds so the work must be done by the directors and the actors." "This becomes a Ic ore-not boring, but hard work" says Fletcher. But the exictement in a, play of this variety is "the reality of the material."

Finally, Jules Feiffer's Little Murders will be staged, presenting t h o u g h t s about crime in present day suburbia. Every play, to be a valid pro- duction, must have a lasting message. The audience must, at the same time, be willing to let the message affect them-"they must participate in theatre, not just sit off and judge it," says Fletcher. Drama, throughout the coun- try, has been hit by a drought. Economic reasons stagnate the growth of drama in New York. There is only time and money for the big long-run musical. And even that seems to be a thing of the past. Too many shows and people have invested extreme amounts of money only to fold after four days to the New York Risk. So actors tend to look elsewhere-and the Ac- tors Company is providing an 'elsewhere.' i l Daily Classifieds Get Results are dedicated and truly inter- ested in learning about the theatre. With the new Power Center for the Performing Arts to be finished within a year and a fine repertory company willing to come to Ann Arbor, there is only one thing left to complete the University theatrical world -student theatre-goers. Students don't want to sit for two hours and listen and re- spond to the established theatre. They are lectured to in their classes and they are lectured by student leaders on the Diag. Perhaps they can be lectured to once more-only this time in an artistic manner, by people who know how to lecture and deliver sermons that might be worth listening to. - I flUIVIA1II Ufi I U HELL WITH IT! - IT'S THE BEST AMERICAN FILM I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR!" -N.Y.TIMESANY -VN CENT CANBY, "IT'S ONE HELL OF A FILM!

AT MENDELSSOHN THEATER A young actor named Dirk Benedict gives a pure and honest performance as the boy, absolutely free of stage tricks or sham. In the play- long flashbok, Benedict is superb as he suffers the im- mutable pain of a son trying to get through to his father. The father is played by Wil- liam Myers in a particularly good performance. Balding a little, his sensitivity scabbed by a job like Willy Loman's, the father is heartbreaking when he says what his son imagines he'll say after his t«. 9 .d - - , 4 ea- r - 1i In a deft dramatic touch, the youth's flashbacks include himself hanging out in his backyard with himself as a zhild. The y o u n g e r boy is played by a red-haired boy of unfailing appeal who is either 12 years old or a w i z a r d, named John Clark and he was wonderful. The play is born in sym- pathy, and in a young man's sensitivity to himself as one able to give love, to his fat parents, to his -gentle girl- friend.
