He visits a small Kansas town as it prepares for its Labour Day picnic, seeking out his for- mer college pal, son of a wealthy family, but during the course of the day finds himself the centre of at- tention by an assortment of women, hiding • secret yearnings and desires under a staid exterior. Mr. Beirne will be making his first appearance at the Country Playhouse in this choice role, made famous by William Holden in the 1955 movie version, created on Broadway by Ralph Meeker. Beirne has appeared on Broadway himself in ``Cactus Flower", "Hallelujah, Baby", and "The Ritz", was in the national companies of "1776" and "Little Mur- ders", and has a biography which holds an impressive list of television credits which include major roles on "The Doctors", "Wagon Train", and "The Virginian" among others. He attended Harvard Business School and served in the Marine Corps. Judith Dagley co-stars as Madge, the quiet, 18 -year old virgin beauty who, lured by the sounds of the outgoing trains and the romantic sexual awakening by Hal, decides against marrying the rich boy in town and his life of security, to live with Hal a potential life of love and fulfillment. Kim Novak became a big star in movies through this role, played in the original New York production by the much -acclaimed actress Janice Rule. Miss Dagley was seen last season on the Playhouse stage in "Plaza `Suite" and., "Any Wednesday". She was associated with Chicago's Second City Revue for many years and is a familiar face to ardent television com- mercial watchers, currently through a delightful, popular spot, "Snacking On Milk", and on Global TV'scomedy series, "Mixed Doubles". Aileen Taylor -Smith returns to the Playhouse once again after numerous roles over the seasons to play Rosemary, the tragi- comical spinster school teacher, battling the spectre of a lonely old age and her dormant sexuality aroused by Hal's presence. The late Rosalind Russell in the screen version and Eileen Heckart in the original stage production both im- mortalized this role, one of the finest for any actress in the American theatre, for their respective audiences. Picnic .won the New York Critics Circle Award among the many tributes it received, providing all members 'of its cast a tremendous opportunity to display their varied acting skills.- One notably seen in that cast was Paul Newman as the college pal, Alan. For its author, William Inge, it cemented his name and place into the annals of the American theatre, following on the heels of his 1950 success, "Come Back, Little Sheba". He fulfilled the confidence of New York's drama critics (who voted him the most promising new playwright of 1950) with Bus Stop in 1956 and The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs in 1957. Both of them, like Picnic, were turned into highly successful films., • TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY RED FOAM BACK rug, 10' x 10', $75.00. Also gold foam back rug, 10' x 17', $125.00.
