Brilliant Performance By Cast
Makes “Gramercy Ghost” Enjoyable
Concluding performances of
‘Gramercy Ghost” at the Naval
Station Little Theatre, Saturday
and Sunday evening, should be sell
outs should the word get around
as to the top quality of entertain
ment offered. It undoubtedly will
from those attending the opening
night performance and last night.
“Gramercy Ghost” is comedy in
its cleanest and best form, witty
lines, with a flavor of history and
a plausible ghost.
The ghost was made even more
plausible by the performance of
Cleve Chancey, who extracted from
the role every ounce of whimsical
wit, eerie substance, and by mere
gesture, conveyed the impression
of a body not of this world and yet
cognizant of what goes on around
it. Some of his appearances with
Nancy Willard, lead role played by
Carolyn Chase, and some of the
other members of the cast were
priceless. The situations created by
the fact that only one of them
could see and hear him were hil
arious to say the least.
Chancey’s analysis of his role
was penetrating of its possibilities,
and at times brilliant in perform
ance. His attire and that of his
ghost compatriots, who made brief
but enjoyable appearance, contri
buted immensely to the authencity
of their roles.
Other members of the cast must
be included for high praise. Dan
Santo as Parker Burnett, Nancy’s
fiance, the arrogant and pos
sessive husband-to-be, offered a
stimulating contrast to that of his
rival, Charley Stewart, as the love
at-first-sigiht swain, sympathetic by
nature, who eventually wins the
girl. This role was enacted by Bob
Edwards. The lovely Carolyn Chase
proved a prize well worth fighting
for, as she displayed a warmth of
feeling for her role, and projected
the bewilderment she must have
felt in meeting and talking to a
ghost.
Supporting roles were more than
adequately handled by other mem
bers of .the cast. The role of Mar
garet Collins played by Chris Quar
tana as the family serving woman;
Augusta Ames, as the attorney,
played by Claudia Triplett; “Phil”
Phillips as Officer Morrison; the
two other ghosts, Irv and Molly,
played hy Mike Finefrock and Gail
Larson; and the ambulance driver
and assistant, played by Pat Mc
Cormick and Dorothy Arnold; all
received excellent treatment and
showed the skill of the director in
handling of dramatic touches. Pat
McCormick’s deft touches in her
brief appearance were particularly
noteworthy.
The production staff and all
those connected with the rehabili
tation of the building, scenery, and
costumes, must be congratulated.
The director in particular, Marion
Strickler, deserves the highest
praise for the performance, which

The new building was named the

The surprise announcement was
made at the conclusion of the first
