Maybe tiiat's because Richard Barstow, the dlrector,..has staged the Ringllng Brothers-Bar- num and Bailey Circus for the past eight years in addition to directing \New Paces,” “A Star Is Born” and other. Broadway or movie successes. It's an exuberant, brilliant cast. From top s t a r Earl Wrlghtson, as the graying Emile de Becque, to two of the cutest JuvenUes in show business, Busan Mcndlck and .Philip Grover. Veteran of television and musicals, he showed real under standing of the role—not only as a Navy Intelligence officer but also as the reluctant lover of a native girl, brilliantly portrayed by Doro thy Etheridge. Really outstanding was the singing of “You’ve Got tc Be Taught,\ by Miss Etheridge, Bloody Mary and Mr. Grover. Sonny Sparks as the Irrepressible Luther BuUis, drew thunderous ap plause for his comical antics. Play ing a sailor, he added exactly the right touch, as did also William Myers 'and Joe Callaway as Naval children, the entire company con tributes freshness to a script that promises to keep its popularity for many generations. Fortunately for Long Islanders, “South Pacific'' on Monday night started a three-week engagement— continuing through Saturday, Sep tember 29.
