Clash of styles fatal to 'Count Dracula By Jeffrey Borate Journal staff writer obvious from his stage adaptatioi Bram Stoker's classic novel that Ted Tiller did not take the story of Dracula very seriously.

Neither do director Joel Friedman, actor Farley Granger and the rest of the cast of Tiller's campy "Count Dracula" which began a one week run Monday at Candlewood Area Theatre. TherTisTnothing'really wrong with camp even when it exists for its own sake and I suppose one couldn't ask for better material for camp than this gripping tale of a legendary creature who commands the night half dead, half living prowling in search of sources of life sustaining blood which he draws from the necks of his helpless, vulnerable yictims. Tiller's script is good, solid melodrama with a roguish sense of humpr and wit threading its way through this tale of terrors. Its success on stage depends on its sense of theatrical style and flair. The chief problem with this "Count Dracula" is its indecision oyer what kind of approach it wants to take to the material.

It is 'high camp, it is dramatic stapstik, ft is melodrama it is all these' things and succeeds at being none of them. Predictably, the production's greatest successes are achievedin its most consistently robust, tongue in cheek performances: from the attractive Caryn West as Dracula's 'Marco Millions' to open at Sharon SHARON, Conn. Eugene O'Neill's rarely performed historical epic, "Marco Millions," begins a two week run at Sharon Playhouse The production is being directed by Walter A. Fairservis, co managing' director of the playhouse 'and a full professor of anthropology at Vassar" College. Performances are slated Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:30 through Aug.

Tracing Marco Polo's journey from Venice' to' Rome, Persia, India and Mongolia to 'the court of the Chinese Emperor Kublai Kahn, the play focuses on the love of the young Chinese princess Kukachin for Marco Polo. The play was first performed In New York in January 1928. in a Theatre Guild production which featured Alfred Lust as Marco Polo, Morris Carnovsky as the Pope and Margalo Gllmore as the princess. Among those new faces appearing with Sharon's resident Equity company for this production will be Elf Fairservis as the princess, R.C. Lawson as the Oriental stage manager, Brock Putnam as Kahn and Stuart Zagnlt as Maffeo, Polo's younger brother.

Drawing on Chinese comedy and other Asian theatrical styles, the production features 'dance, mime, original music composed for this production, Indian shadow puppets, hand calllgraphed banner and a display of Oriental art work lining the theater walls. A Fairservis has traveled extensively through the Far East and has led expeditions to Egypt, Pakistan and the first 'archeological' expedition ever Jo He is the" consultant for the new.

Stuckmann's Van Helsing is a superb creation; robust and rich. He prowls the stage like a rumpled bear; his hands, with a will of their flailing the air like a man besieged by flies. His lengthy speech in which he describes the nature of vampire's Is hair raising and positively chilling. Louise Kirtland has some delightful moments as a somewhat scatterbrained, chocolate eating Sybil Seward who Dracula uses to further his own ends. There Is a kind of rude arrogance in Farley Granger's Dracula.

It is a curious quality which dilutes the Count's menacing and hypnotic presence. IN STORE BAKERY CHEESE DEPT. 25 MILTON AVE, HIGHLAND, N.Y.' 690 MAIN ST POUQHKEEPSIE, N.Y. "WE BAKE DAILY" LEMON MERINGUE PIE 20 OZ. SIZE LAYER CAKES ASST.

New Fairfield, Conn. It is really the kind of production In which the cast members spend so much time making fun of the material that they never let the script's built in sense of suspense and tongue in cheek spirit shine through on its own. In the end, the clash of styles affects this production in the same manner in which a transfusion of different blood types affects a patient': it is fatal. Joseph Hudson VERBANK Joseph'L.
