FILM IS THE MEDIUM FOR CATCHING THE MOMENT By Mike Goss It is not often that one has the opportunity to meet a person in volved in the fine art of film- making. Surprisingly enough, my fortune has surpassed that of many of my colleagues and associates, for I had the extreme pleasure of not only the acquain tance, but the added thrill of at tending a special luncheon at which Nicholas Ray, the inter nationally known film director, was present. Nicholas Ray On Friday, February 23rd, Ray visited Onondaga Community College and along with him brought some previews or coming attractions of his newest film in which is now in the making. At first appearance Mr. Ray is visualized as a rather coarse in dividual. Characterized by his eye-patch, his wild, yellow-gray hair, his sweat-drenched shirt and' habitual chain smoking, Mr. Ray appears to lack all artistic talents. After the screening and questioning I joined the Nicholas Ray party for lunch. The Walter Whites Tavern was the suggested restaurant for the luncheon; so on we went, for what ended up to be one of the most enjoyable moments in my college career. His presence directly across the table was alone an honor in it self. All through the meal Mr. Ray would entertain us with his many tales and humorous stories. His deep, masculine voice along with his many pauses entices the listener as the Sirens did for many many homesick sailors. I will never forget my day with Nicholas Ray. As a lover of film and an amateur critic, times such as these are priceless in the lives of men. By Jessa DeJulio & Mike Goss Photo By A. Davis From a dream which has lived in the mind of a man for almost twenty years to a brilliant little two-act play which has warmed the hears of many a theatre goer comes Blind Tiger, written by Russel Tarby. This play which won first prize in the Onondaga Community College Drama Department con test is by far more than sheer en tertainment. It is a vicarious jour ney bringing us into the hearts of five actors living in the decade of the twenties. The plot is cute. The lead character Anton (Stephen Salanger) portrays an Austrian immigrant in his sixties, who against the wishes of his second wife Betsy (Ellen Martin) makes illegal “ h o o tch” in the household. He is helped by his partner-son, Rud, who plays a twenty-four year bachelor with bigger ideas than his Papa. Rud (Ronn Smart) being the only son of a very possessive father finds it quite hard to break away from his father’s grasp. He wants a car, and he is tired of being a small time nobody. And here is where the fun begins. Rud arranges for Thea (Marilyn Wilson), who is Betsy’s niece, to come over to the house when Anton and Betsy leave to go over and visit Anton’s sister. The action begins as the “little doll” Thea enters while Rud hurridly is going nuts with his pants partly undone. After an in troduction, they bring out a bot tle of wine and have a “toast.” This toast gets both characters feeling flirty but acts somewhat as an aphrodisiac for Rud. Well, he chases her all around the set and finally takes her panties off. But, with a sigh of unaccomplishment, does not do what he had set out to do. The poor kid finally gives up, but about a month later, after, of course, he got a car, gets Thea pregnant. Everything would have been O.K. except Anton the con cerned father, or should I say businessman, finds the letter in which Thea writes, “Rud, I have missed my time of the month,” Anton gets extremely upset to the point where he thinks he may be able to blame Thea’s former fiance, Alex for the pregnancy. Well after he cools off, we meet Alex Wilkins (Robert Kuzia). He and Anton become friendly and Alex becomes drunk and says, “I didn’t even kiss her goodnight.” This pins Rud with Thea and the expectant child. The ending-well-the whole family is happy and Anton claims, “Rud, you’re a good boy, you’re jus’like your Papa.” The play Blind Tiger is not an ingenious play, but its warmth and superb acting makes the play enjoyable, and most of all life like. Beginning with Anton, Salanger deserves much credit for taking on the character of a sixty year old man with an added foreign dialect. He also proves to be worthy when it comes to that basic and phenominal art of pan- tomine. His gestures and movements are definitely like clockwork. From his old and torn shirt we meet a real man, a real “from-the-old-country- man.” He comes complete-with all the trimmings and added ex tras much like that of my grand father. Besty is the quiet one, but she knows every move but never lets on one bit. Ellen Martins uniqueness is part of her many talents. Her character range is, alone, a great talent. As an elderly woman, who has seen a lot in her day, Ellen comes off as a mild understanding woman, with the beauty of warmth about her. Her movements are precise and her attractiveness on stage, indeed warms your heart. Rud is also unique. Ronn Smart comes off as a comedian with a serious goal in life. He moves well, acts human and is quite a ladies' man. In his longest sequence with Thea he tells it really like it is when you fail to accomplish something you have set out to do. (All you guys out there must of had Ruds problem, but if you hadn’t stay out of the cellar where it is often times damp and cold.) With his slicked down hair, Rud reminds me of a what I would imagine to be a xeroxed copy of a youth in the twenties. Here he is just begin ning to disagree and “talk back” to his Papa. Something he had probably never done before. Marilyn Wilson, the doll who played a doll, was very lovable. Her blonde hair and marble sized eyes are the contributors to her flirtatious character. She’s cute, lovable and knows how to lure a man on with such a seduc tive talent. In the play, her appearance is the key to the plot line. And without Marilyn, Blind Tiger wouldn’t have been the same. Robert Kuzia seems to be a person with many talents, one in cluding acting, is immitation. He actually played tw o ro les, and unlike any of the other charac ters, had to perfect two per sonalities. One, of course, the puritanical prude, and second the slobbering drunk. Both charac ters have been stereotyped hun dreds of times before, Kuzia, however, perfects his actions and his words with his uneasiness and his humorous looks. The stage is a gorgeous and cozy setting. Along with the old couch and rocking chair we see wine barrels, old pictures, a Vic- trola, and even an old newspaper which has yellowed from age. Its sturdiness and realistic features makes the audience unaware that it is a stage play. It places the audience one step closer to reality. Along with Tarby and the cast, director David Conley spent hours and hours rehearsing and getting everything down to the very fine detail. Their work shows, their talents are infinite, and their “110% giving of themselves” proved very successful for themselves and that lovable man Russel Tarby.
