The Geant brhinalite Club has
done it again. It shouldn~t come
as a surprise to those who are
in the know. Herschel Steinhardt,
a~-talented, local playwright, has
managed to snatch a few pages
from life in the raw and, without the slightest bit of Christmas tree decoration, thrust it
upon an audience.

The entire play is based ~on
married life with all its starry
dreams and heart-rending realities. The play, ~Don~t Think ~of
Me When I~m Gone,~ is cast beautifully; Phil Purcell~ and Mary

their shoulders with able assists

(whom I first met in Jules Pfief~fer~s ~Sketches~ at. the Unstabled); and Naney Smith.

The most important feature of
this new play is the fact that

summoned to the stand. Duke,
who is a ~master of:just about
everything,. just talented enough
just old enough, and just corny
enough to keep you entertained
while the musicians are trying
to get themselves together. Duke,
who has played drums with every big band in the country and
is currently kicking behind the
big Jimmy Wilkins group, plays
drums, piano, vibes, any horn
st oce can think of, upholsters furniture, and~most important ~
tells some pretty big lies. He~s
really- something else.
Duke, who is a young old man,

look for some out of sight artists to be making the Jazz Workshop set. It~s best to just come

because no one ever really knows
who is going to pop in. You can

that whoever comes in will be
