“Talley’s Folly” No Ordinary Love St<fry

By Jacob Schaad Jr. SOMERS POINT - A love story, carefully crafted by cast and playwright, is the nucleus of the season's second play that opened at the professional South Jersey Regional Theatre here Wednesday night. LaYiford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Talley’s Folly,” is no ordinary, schmaltzy love story* It has powerful hi$i drama, charming moments, times of levity and scenes of pathos. THE STORY takes place in a boathouse on the Talley farm in Missouri during World War II. It is here that Matt Friedman, played by Stefan Weyte, woos Sally Talley, portrayed by Jeanne Cullen. He is 42 and she is 31 marriage is passing them by. Friedman, a Jewish im migrant, pursues the woman with the rhythmical name relentlessly, but not before each has probed into the other’s past and has brought confessionals of their lives. By the time the play has ended the audience has learned much about the Jewish immigrant and the midwestem nurse’s aide and much about life in those throubled times. Appropriately, like- all love stories, they live happily ever after. This is a two character play, running 97 minutes Casino Trip RIO GRANDE - A bus trip to the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City will be held to benefit the New Voice Club of Cape May County on Nov. 29. The bus will leave the Rio Mall parking lot at 6:30
