For those who desire deep stuff, "Look Back On Tomorrow," by Eva Wolas provides deft touches of irony and symbolism, but as the light, unpretentious, half hour sketch that it is, tonight's presentation of the Harvard Dramatic Club and the Radcliffe Idler is a good evening's entertainment.
The one act romantic comedy centers about a group of refugees in a penthouse of a crowded New York district. The attempted suicide of a neighbor brings a free lance photographer on the scene, and his entrance resolves the frustrations of the commercial artist and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Barde, and also of their friend, Syd, an attractive widower.
Andrew Smith '48 is well cast as the stock roving photographer, Boston, who falls in love with an agreeable Syd as played by Doreen Saxton, Radcliffe '48. Nancy Boyle, Radcliffe '46 is excellent as the emotional young wife, and Tom Gad '46 convincing, if a bit stiff, as her artist husband. William Mayleas '46 plays Mr. Stein, a stern landlord.
In the final dress rehearsal, the cast, most of them newcomers to the Dramatic Club, carried the show off smoothy. The set, designed by Peggy Reisner, Radcliffe '46 and Allen Martin '48, is good, as are the production of of Craig Gilbert '47 and the direction of Hibbard James '46.
