Mercedes McCambridge; at 8 p.m. nightly, except Mondays, through March 24; at St. Edward’s University.

B> LYNN BAILEY Texan Staff Writer

After a disappointing iirst act with a disillusioning performance by Mercedes McCambridge. the cast of “ The Desk V t came to life and ironed out many of Tuesday s opening night traumas

Miss McCambridges performance at first lacked the luster, the exuberance expected She dully recited her lines, without apparent interest or gusto

While her three office assistants. Peg (Jann Jackson*. Sadel Canelle (Hickman1 and Ruthie (Tern Claus> are frantically fighting to keep their jobs, she remains calm

Performance^ of Sadel and Ruthie are particularly comic While Sadel fatalistically, sarcastically accepts a machine take-over. Ruthie wails and mourns her fate

Minor characters deserve credit for much of the play's success Imogene Imboden (Conine Davis i graces the stage onlv ti few times hut nevertheless steals the show As a “ disappointed opera star who has been w ith us ever since she flunked her screen test, she entertains with bumps and grind." and hysterical off-key vocalizations

Miss Ferris {Carol Blodgett) delivers an hilarious performance as a stereotyped reporter assigned to take pictures of the new computers The gum-chomping, clumsy incompetent woman gives the profession a reputation that other reporters certainly would not agree with but still is

funnvMiss Warriner (Ruth Straw . hired to “ mother" the new

computer, also gives the play a shot in the arm The large woman hustles and bustles about tile set. up and down stairs, worrying and cooing over the machines

The overbearing efficiency expert set on mechanizing the office. Richard Sumner t George Phelps». just doesn t “ have it hts deadpan, monotonal recitations ruin any spontaneity that other characters might have given the play

The party guests, too numerous to name, tend to become tiring their efforts to portray “ typical drunk" secretaries and executives are laughable not in the sense of laughing "with them, however Quite the contras

In an inevitable pseudo-sex role. Abe Cutler (Charlie Collins), who plays opposite Miss McCambridge as her tumbling, reluctant lover, comes across not as a desirable husband-to-be. but a questionable cross between Dolph Briscoe and Jonathan W inters. His efforts to be suave and debonair quickly become ludicrous especially his

tender dialogues delivered in a distinct southern accent MISS MCCAMBRIDGE developes a certain tongue in­

cheek humor, a condescending approach to the entire altair, that boosts her performance and reconciles her early lack of enthusiasm Her ability to fluster the self important Sumner, to make him appear the utter tool, alone make the play worthwhile

In one moment of sarcastic eloquence that totally destroys Sumners composure she says. \ es, people are lust a bit outmoded Maybe they ll stop making them
