THE FT. HOOD SENTINEL Thursday April 1 1982
The dinner theater production of
Jean Kerr’s “Mary Mary” at the West
Fort Hood Recreation Center Friday
night was a well-acted and fast paced
success.
Despite minor flubs in lines and a
stiffness in the male lead the cast
mastered their character’s parts su-
perbly and brought off an entertain-
ing show.
The play takes place in Bob McKel-
loway’s living room in his New York
City apartment. The young success-
ful 30-year-old publisher is engaged
to marry in tw eek iffan
Richards an independently wealthy
woman in her early twenties.
His former wife Mary whom he
'divorced the past year and who is
working on her own is coming to his
apartment upon the advice of their
tax law yer-frien Oscar. Oscar
thinks Mary may be able to clear up
some problems with Bob’s income
tax return that is being audited.
A dding to th is Dirk W inston
Bob’s old Navy friend and a Holly-
wood actor in search of a publisher
for his book arrives at the apartment.
As the evening proceeds Bob finds
out he still really loves Mary yet is
afraid to reveal it. In the meantime
though Dirk moves in on Mary and
Bob becomes resentful. All engage-
ments come to a tidy climax where all
rela tio ship and rob lem are
solved.
Erica Ianetta is very strong as
Mary the “say-it-how -she-sees-it”
ex -w ife. In her first Fort ood
The 1982 Talent Contest held at
Fiddlers’ Green Recreation Center
Saturday had seven different cate-
gories.
Placing first in the vocal group
category as “S ilent om ents”
featuring Derrick Black Anthony

“Medley of Songs.” The “Immacula-
tions” Gerald Hamilton Randolph
Franklin Leonard Robinson and
Henry Benboe took second place

appearance she captures the stage as
the om an ho is gaining self-
confidence yet still wants the secur-
ity of her ex-husband.
Brad Graham is nervous and stiff at
the start but finally settles down into
Bob’s character. Bob is a man who
tries to be sensible and systematic
but his high-strung and impulsive
side usually have the final word.
Although Graham waves his hands
in the air too often that technique
gradually begins to work because of
Bob’s type of character.
Lyndon oyle who plays Dirk
Winston is good as the suave actor-
type. He plays Dirk as a sensible in-
sightful actor whose easygoing man-
ner sometimes leads you to believe
he is lacking something upstairs in-
tellectually. In his first performance
oyle gives the appearance of a
veteran.

Div. chaplain and Eastern Orthodox
priest is great as the earthy urbane
and sometimes comical tax lawyer

bounces off the other players with
unusual skill. As Oscar his manner-
isms reveal to the audience that the
knows all along that Bob and Mary
will get back together.
Margaret Garcia as Tiffany is con-
vincing in the small but noticeable
role as the wealthy healthy fiancee.
She pulls off well a character whose
actions are sometimes hard to under-
stand.
Much credit for this play goes to
director Rumiko Dodson who cast
Talent contest offers variety
with their presentation of “You Make
Me Feel Brand New.”
Gerard Patnaude singing “Lucil-
le” took second place in the solo voc-
alist category. First place singing
“Greatest Love Of All” was Priscilla
Burdine.
In the self-accom an ied vocal
category Jam ie Goff took second
place with “Can’t Help Falling In
ove” and Terri Sm ith took first
place with “Forever Yours.”

molded the players into believable
characters.
For an evening of light-hearted en-
tertainment “Mary Mary” brings
just the right touch.
“Mary Mary” will continue Friday
Elmer Davis took second place in
the classical instrumental category
with “Son-Yetta.” There was no first
place winner.
Smokey Phelps was the only win-
ner in the instrumental category
