      the

      Skinkeeper
      took
      ove,
     
     
      These
      guys
      area
      lot
      of
      fun,
      have
      cool
      hair

      that
      have
      hair
     
     
      and
      play
      great
      music.
      They
      too
      were
      well
      received
      by
      the
      crow,
     
     
      which
      by
      this
      time
      numbered
      close
      to
      200.
      They
      were
      followe
     
     
      by

      was
      a
      really
      fabuloy
     
     
      concert,
      and
      I
      hope

      evening
      of
      One
      Act
      Plays
      took
     
     
      place
      last
      Friday,
      Saturday,
      and
     
     
      Sunday
      night.
      The
      evening
     
     
      consisted
      of
      three
      one
      act
      plays
     
     
      all
      produced
      by
      Stephen
     
     
      Heckbert.
      These
      plays
      were,
      in
     
     
      order
      of
      presentation,
      Harold
     
     
      Pinter’s
      ‘‘The

      andTom
      Stoppard’s
     
     
      “*The
      Real
      Inspector
      Hound’’.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      “*The
      Dumbwaiter’’,
      directed
      by
     
     
      Mary
      Anne
      Fitzpatrick,
      yielded
     
     
      one
      of
      the
      best
      performances
      of
     
     
      the
      evening
      in
      one
      of
      its
      two
      char-
     
     
      acters:
      Kent
      Murnaghan
      did
      a
     
     
      fairly
      good
      job
      in
      the
      role
      of
      Gus.
     
     
      Ifhe
      hadn’t
      talked
      to
      the
      back
      wall
     
     
      of
      the
      set
      so
      much,
      I
      may
      have
     
     
      been
      able
      to
      say
      he
      did
      a
      great
      job.
     
     
      Craig
      Blair
      was
      okay,
      but
      he
     
     
      seemed
      like
      a
      fairly
      stagnant
      char-
     
     
      acter
      who
      spent
      his
      whole
      life
     
     
      angry
      --
      but
      when
      he
      was
      angry,
     
     
      boy,
      he
      was
      angry.
      The
      play
      was
     
     
      fairly
      well
      done,
      but
      I
      felt
      some-
     
     
      what
      cheated
      by
      missing
      some
      of
     
     
      the
      dialogue
      because
      it
      was
      di-
     
     
      rected
      to
      the
      back
      of
      the
      stage
      so
