Show THEATER THREE FOR TONIGHT Gower and Marge Champion, dancing stars of "Three for Tonight." v]HtmWx-;:- ¦ v:": a ¦ ¦ ^ As an imported feature of the University Theater season, "Three for Tonight" captured the hearts of the audience. This Paul Gregory-Charles Laughton production combined music, drama, and dance for unusual but delightful entertainment. Marge and Gower Champion, noted for stage and movie work, portrayed a couple light in heart and light on their feet. To their dancing was added the singing of Harry Belafonte, "America's foremost balladeer." And the Voices of Walter Schumann added choral and musical effects to the total production. Paul Gregory and Charles Laughton have joined forces before for "Don Juan in Hell," "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial," "That Fabulous Redhead," and the movie "Night of the Hunter." This touring company presented their Utah performance November 2 through 5. This is the first time that such a combination of music, dance, and drama has been done by this company. The production is also unique in its limited sets and use of a choral group of forty in the background. Only praise has come for the spectacle, glamor, and color of the musical. - The Walter Schumann Voices and dancers frame Don Beddoe, Marge and Gower Champion. Balladeer Harry Belafonte, singing star of the production. 32 |
