Hours and hours of circling through streets of Cambridge in a sound truck yesterday, with a stentorian voice advertising the merits of "Jonah and the Whale", failed to bring the Dramatic Club a capacity audience at its premiere in the Peabody Theatre last night. But the inconsiderable number that did attend the performance seemed very appreciative.
Especially effective was the scene representing the prophet in the whale's belly. The huge mammal immediately proceeds to talk into his own stomach and in a pedantic tone of voice offers poor Jonah the benefit of innumerable intellectual tidbits.
Two more performances are planned for tonight and tomorrow night, with tickets ranging from 50 cents to $2.50 available at the Coop.
