Big Ed Vierheilig. Row presidential candidate will carry his campaign to the airways tonight at 5 when he makes a belated appearance at KTRO.
Originally, he was scheduled to face Bob Padgett, Unity candidate, in a fifteen minute debate Tuesday. Vierheilig failed to make the engagement because he was “interviewing Knight candidates.” Padgett soloed for 15 minutes that night.
“Vierheilig is being given the time because the Federal Communications Commission requires stations to give equal time to political candidates,” Dean Lierle, KTRO station manager said yesterday.

by Pete Boughn
Eugene O'Neill’s strenuous play, •‘Anna Christie,” continues to receive a healthy workout in Bovard auditorium this week through Saturday by the SC drama department.
The great American playwright's story7 about a St. Paul “hard-luck” woman who comes to New York to find love and regeneration is a difficult undertaking for the most capable of stage stars. Pat Corrigan makes an intense, if not wholly successful, try at the part of Anna.
O'Neill has a penchant for creating repeated flashes of emotional intensity and his quirks often leave Miss Oomgan riding the crest of a
hysterical wave wiien stage normalcy should be resumed.
Nancy Brannon plays the lovable, rollicking coal barge mistress, Mar-thy Ow’en, whose first encounter with Anna, fresh from the midwest, adds a warmly humorous touch to the serious activities.
When she informs the hard and cynical-looking tart that she has her number, Anna replies:
“I know your kind,” smirks Anna. “You're me, 40 years from now.” Chris, the old barge captain father of Anna, constantly obsessed by the “old devil sea” offers a challenge to actor Wally Richard
who carries off the difficult dialogue and antics with honors.
Bradley Johnson seemed well cast as the boastful Irish stoker. Matt Burke, who courts Anna. Johnson’s lusty acting dominates the scenes he appears in.
Caught between these two men, Miss Corrigan runs a weak third. Her lack of depth in interpretation was brought into sharp focus in the final acts when the expected softening of her character fails to materialize.
As the newly-arrived prostitute, her acting was convincing—she looked like the grandmother of them all.
However, as the play progresses, she fails to reach the three-dimen-sional depth of Richard and Johnson, and gets slightly lost in the process.
As a production, “Anna’’ is ex-ceUent, a credit to Director Virgil L. Bergman and his able assistants.
From the cheap South street saloon in the opening scene to the beautifully realistic barge scenes, Lewis Fulk's set designing was up to the high standards maintained by the department.
The play continues its run tonight. tomorrow, and Saturday. Curtain time is 8:30. and tickets are on sale at the SC ticket office.
