Greasepaint Magic Lures Islanders By RICHARD' LASWELL During the day, they work al a cross « section of occupations . . Housekeeping, engineering and advertising. But at night and on weekends, they enter a maglc world of their pwn , . . the world of grease paint, footlights and show busi- ness. - A casual suggestion is respon- sible for the dual lives. The sug- gestion . . . to include a theatre course in Great Neck's adult ed- ucation program , . . never saw daylight. Instead, the Great Neck Com- munity Theatre was born. That's how Jacques C. Taylor of 17 Millbrook Court, a Manbat- tan mid service operator and the group's publicity man, ex - plains the theatre movement's beginning. «00% BUT I GUESS why we start- ed is more important,\ Taylor said. \Most of us were unhappy because the legitimate theatre was pretty much confined to Manhattan. We want to take the- atre - co'zg out of that special category and make it an every- day community activity.\ To achieve that goal, the play- ers have set a stiff production schedule for ghemselves three full - length \Broadway\ plays a yeat. They're currently reflearsing Tennessee Williams' \Bummer and Smoke,\ which will open March 5 at the Saddle Rack School for a three - day run. Over 1,000 persons turned out to see their last play, \'The Late George Apley® by John P. Mar- quand. Most of the group's 80 mem- bers, Taylor says, were origi- mally attracted to the communi- ty theatre by their desire to act. 'But they soon learned that's just the beginning,\ he said. \Be- fore long, they're engrossed in scenery - making, lighting tech- niques and stage managing . . . plus the score of things which have to be done by someone be fore an: audience sees the cur + tain rise.\ WITH THE possible exception of the theatre's president, Joe O'Brien, all of the group's mem- bers are amateurs. O'Brien, who lives at 4 Lodge Road, is a disc jockey and radio announcer. Right now, the part - timd thes- pians' biggest need is for head- quarters . . . a barn, cellar or attic where they can store and make scenery and props. Mrs. William A. Cone of24 Cow Lane, Kings Point, heads the search party for the needed space. The players rehearse in each other's homes. Living rooms are also turned into \dramatic work- shops,\ where the members work on all aspects of the thea- tre. The ultimate goal of the thea- tre movement, Taylor says, is that it will become the spring board for a Great Neck Fine Arts Center. He pictures this as a place where all the arts dane» ing, music, painting . .'. can be appreciated and developed by the community. Taylor doesn't know when this might happen . .. only that it will take years. ~ \But remember,\. he says. \the Great Neck Community Theatre is just the offshoot of a suggestion,\ By ED DUFFY Long Island still is the nation's No. 1 oyster - producingares and its chief supplier. Ready to support that claim with facts and figures is Royal Toner of 111 Oxford Boulevard, Garden City, vice-president of the Oysier Institule and a major producer himself. According to Toner, the oyster industry is one of the few on Long Island |p maintain pre- eminence in iis field. \New home developments are wiping out the last remaining vegetable and polato farms, so that the Island no longer ranks mear the top.\ he said. But not so with oysters. THE AMERICAN demand for the mucculent bivalve has never waned, but production and cultl- vation has , . alarmingly so. \We just aren't ralsing enough,\ Toner said. It seems that baby oysters are dying like files, and the weather is chiefly to blame, awning season is July and August,\ he said, and the last few years have been terrible for oysters . , . hot weather, no breeses, and doldrums.

Toner said production has de- clined 25 per cent in the past three or four years, but It will take another few years for the full impact to be felt. Whether your taste runs to oysters on the half-shell or in a stew, one thing you can be sure of, Toner sald, is the quality of the product.

Chapter 10 By The Rev. ALEXANDER CAMPBELL Founder of the Campbell Hall School, North Hollywood, Calif. It started 13 years ago when a motion picture director admitted to me, after church one Sunday, a vague dissatisfaction with the roundness of his child's education. \Why he asked, \Can't you teach the Fourth R -- Religion, along with Reading, 'Riting and \Rithmetic?

But the seed w a s planted and it. grew, along with my ehureb, Bt | David's Episco. pal Mission in North 'Holly- G wood. By 1641 we were a parish and our Bunday School had over- flowed until we needed a branch in another part'of the Valley. The demands also was grow- Ing for a church school. From past experience I was convinced that where there Is a real need, somehow God provides. And so, with little more than a group of enthusinstic parents, and a few eager teachers, we opened the doors of Gampbell Hall School in 1944 in the one- room building which housed our branch Sunday School. «* - OUR FIRST leachers were re- eruited through an announce ment made at the chancel steps one Sunday morning. Our 74 pupils came from homes where parents believed in that Fourth R. Keeping our expenses to a minimum, we made our school available to children of parents from all income groups. Children whose fathers worked in an air- craft factory mingled casually with those of film stars. They represented all faiths. Clearly the demand was not for the. teaching of a creed, but for the teaching of universal truths. Al} teachers at Campbell Hall were actively affiliated with one of the Christian denominations and were expebted to teach spiritual and ethical values along , with academics, U The immediate fruits were startling. Some of the children were not accustomed to . the thought of God. Bome had only connected Him with their weekly visits to Bunday School. Their in- terpretation of spiritual truths was completely literal. Stevie, 6% - year - old son of screen star Dana Andrews, show- ed a marked interest in any and all of the stories from the Book of Genesis. While watching a weekly televised Bible program that has won great interest among Valley children, he kept predicting coming events to his grandmother. At the point, where Calm slew his brother Abel, truth to these young minds, and my ation. for those chapel talks has been one of bumflity and listening prayer.
