Who's. Who in the Cast. . . . MARK RYDELL (Tom) well known as "Jeff Baker" by his millions of fans, has starred on CBS-TV's da time serial. AS T H E WORLD TURNS for t i e past four years. Mark Rydell i s the third actor from AS T H E WORLD TURNS to ap ear in a production at the Grand Theatre in suTlivan. On the New York stage. tlle multi-talented Mr. Rydell has been seen in productions of SEAGULLS OVER SORRENTO, CLERAMBARD. HANDFUL O F FIRE and MOONBIRDS. Summer theatre-goers have seen him in productions of BLUE DENIM and COMPULSION. Mr. Rydell's television career encompassed every major television program of the last decade. His memorable performance in Reginald Rose's CRIME IN T H E STREETS is still remembered as a video highl~ght. Mark. along with his co-star, John Cassevetes, repeated his role in the film versEon of the teen-age story. One of the most dynamic of the new wave of stage directors is youthful Mark Rydell. Mark made his directorial bow, in stylish fashion, last season with the rovocative presentation of Ar- nold Wesker's RBOTS in New York. Actor-di- rector Rydell has extended himself into still an- other field. Now actor, now d~rector, now song- writer, he has composed a po ular tune called "Penny" which is used on AB T H E WORLD TURNS.

Juilliard School of Music, the New School of Social Research and the Neighborhood Playhouse. Though Mark Rydell continues as a leading actor on television, he now learns that being a director consumes the greatest amount of time for his well-directed energy. The Grand Theatre in Sullivan is the only summer theatre that Mark has worked into his busy achedule this summer season and he is pleased to be able to appear in one of the great dramas of the Amer- ican theatre, T H E GLASS MENAGERIE.
