Look Homeward, Angel (1957), a play by Ketti Frings. [
Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 564 perf.; Pulitzer Prize, NYDCC Award.] Eugene Gant ( Anthony
Perkins) is a moonstruck, sensitive youth who lives in the boardinghouse run by his domineering mother Eliza ( Jo Van Fleet). His father, W. O. Gant ( Hugh Griffith), is a blustering, frequently drunk, dreamer and his elder brother Ben ( Arthur
Hill) is too frail to live in the real world he longs for. Eugene's own world seems shattered when Ben dies and when his affair with the Gants' boarder, Laura James ( Frances Hyland), ends. As he goes off to college he can only hope to overcome his past and make something of himself. Kermit
Bloomgarden co‐produced this fine adaptation of Thomas Wolfe's autobiographical novel, and the production featured a riveting cast, delicate direction by George Roy Hill, and an exceptionally atmospheric set by Jo
Mielziner.
Ketti FRINGS [née Catherine or Katherine Hartley] (1910?–81) was born in Columbus, Ohio, and gained major attention with her novel
Hold Back the Dawn. Better known as a screenwriter, her other Broadway efforts were failures.
