Blues for Mister Charlie on Broadway Wallops Audiences
New York UPI notes James Baldwin's Blues for Mister Charlie at the ANTA theater. Burgess Meredith directs a strong cast in a two hour and fifty minute drama about racial tension, a white storekeeper killer, and a minister's tragedy with powerful performances by Percy Rodriguez Rip Torn Pat Hingle and others. The piece uses flashbacks and a bare stage, with some pacing flaws but overall forceful and moving.
