provides lively entertainment By MAGGIE HANNAH Herald Writer The Georgetown Little Thea tres production of The Inheritance was a stand melodrama with all the predictable features from a beautiful heroine to a despic able vflllan and a nice tidy ending In these days of sin sex and mayhem It is hardly the type of performance reputed to draw audiences Vet when the Her ald saw the play on Saturday tickets were sold out and the reaction of the audience made it plain they were en- Joying themselves Instructions in the program old the audience to boo hiss cheer and sing along in order to enter into the spirit of the play They did just that One member got so involved that at the climax of the play when the villlan makes a wise crack Do I have to do it all over again They said yes True to the tradition of living up to the expectations of the audience poor Villi an ran back up the stairs died fell down the stairs answered the telephone and collapsed once again How much more could an audience demand of a per former The play revolves around the mo china lions of Marmadukc Mayhem Ron Hill who Is attempting to get his hands on the fortune which is hidden somewhere in the house He has picked up ihe gambling debts of Sir Mumbcrley Nicholas and is threatening to evict the family unless the daughter Daphne Joyce Holland mar ries him As one would expect In a melodrama her feelings run more to Rodney Stoutheart Limehouse news familiar and high power drama Herald staff writer If you go to sec the movie Equus scenes or which were limed In and the offices of The Herald almost a year ago you may see more than some familiar places and faces Equus is the story of a psychiatrist played by Richard Burton trying to find out why a 16 yearold boy played by Pet er Firth blinded six horses II was written originally as a play by Peter Shaffer who did the screen play and directed by Sidney who also has Murder on the Orient Express Dog Day Afternoon Network and others among his credits Two key scenes were shot if Georgetown One was In The Herald and the other on Main Street One take that didnt end up on the cutting room floor was of a mounted policeman on Park Avenue wllh the old church housing lown Library in the back ground As the psychiatrist sort Burton has come to talk to Mr Strang a printer and father of he boy Leaning over the desk of accountant Eliza beth Richardson Burton de mands information from Colin that might provide a clue why Alan put out the eyes of six stabled horses and sits the desk of circulation mana ger Marie Shad bolt was the camera which picked up not only Burtons and performances but Fair Hard ware and Fletchers Shoes through Heralds window Both Main Street stores had toned down signs in place of their regular ones for the Hardwares Interior wai also the location for a scene which showed the boy employed us a clerk becoming fascinated with horses The horse mid cart used for the purpose were shown only In the window reflection But back in the office of the printer Burton raises tils mag niflcient voice and Its sheer energy moves Strang to talk but in the back shop As the camera follows them you see the shocked expressions at the outburst on the faces of Marie and The Heralds film stars Their performance is convincing In The Heralds back shop director Lumet had several camera angles shooting first in one location then another as Burton pulls out the story from Shop foreman Dave Hastings is seen In the back ground printing an order then again in a slightly fuzzy close- up but dominating the screen while the camera was on the two behind Printer also is in the scene but partially obs cured in the foreground how ever if you know Mylcs youll recognize him The second key scene was a night exterior filmed at the corner of Main Street and Park Avenue Theres a clear shot of windows of Touch of Class although the sign didnt appear In the background If you look for It you can also see the lighted sign of Robert In this scene Strang Is wait ing at a bus stop with his son Alan and Alans girlfriend played by Jenny Agutter Strang asks Alan to say good night the girl and come home but boy defies his father precipitating the des truction of he horses The film Is a mixture of perverted religion letit and bloody viol ence so if those sort of things offend you be forewarned Director uses no trick photography or special effects to achieve the films great impact A straightforward clear reportage is Impact enough considering the cont ent The film shows that the roots of violence ore In the home that life without passion is no life at all and that try as you may happy endings are for fairy tales But if you want more than mere entertainment in a film I recommend this one John Roc although ith such a bumbling fool for a sweet heart it seems unlikely that good will triumph Dotty Margaret the maid Crispin Cringe Ron Hunt Majhcms accomplice Polly Pot the nurse and Jack Ed Ar curl the brother who has spent six

He made effective use of a revolving device In front of a spotlight which alternately co vered and revealed the light so that the final chase scene In which all the players are run ning from or
