by Dee Caruso
Highlighted by outstanding performances by Frank Anderson and Cherie Brigham, the SC drama department presented the first performance of its summer production, “An Inspector Calls," by J. B. Priestley last night to an appreciative audience in Bovard. It will run tonight and tomorrow at 8:30. A moral play on the socialistic-idealistic theme, “An Inspector Calls’ ’discusses the problem o f the universality of guilt. The theme, in a
mystery-fantasy setting is able to hold the audiences attention despite a great deal of preaching on the author’s part.
Frank Andersen as the mysterious Inspector Goole, the character around which the action of the play revolves, is completely captivating. His extremely professional performance carries the play as he investigates the part each of the characters have in bringing about the suicide of a young girl.
The inspector, symbolizing a sort of universal conscience, is placed among a wealthy fatnily of Brumlcy who, In turn, confess to their part in bringing about the girl’s horrible end.
Cherie Brigham, as the young daughter of the Billing family, who best understands disgrace of the family’s unconcern about their fellow-humans is similarly im-

Giles Robinson, os her lover, shows spots of brilliance but didn’t seem to have enough meat in his role to work with. Roy Dancer, as the Birling’» weakling soil, Joseph Magriun, as Mr. Birling, and Louna Belle Courtney, as Mrs. Birling, gave convincing performances.
The set was adequate although at times the unorthodox entrance seemed unwieldy. H/rbert Stahl s direction is superb. He has made the play interesting and suspenseful although basically it is a theme-play and too talky.
Priestly relies heavily on moral in “An Inspector Calls,” but It is a sound and provocative 0Iie—die responsibility of each human being is universal. He shows that the suicide of Eva Smith was caused indirectly by many people. The universality of this theme perhaps Is the reason why “An Inspector Calls’’ has been successful in 18 foreign countries.
