DON 'T MISS DEAR LIAR! The Am erican Conservatory Theatre presents Dear Liar by Jerome Kilty, based on the letters of Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, on June 3 (8 p.m.) June 6 (2 p.m .), June 8 (8 p.m.), June 11 (8 p.m.) and June 12 (8 p.m.) in rotating repertory with Another Part of the Forest. The two-character show brings to li fe two ardent lovers and writers of letters. It deals with a correspondence that began in 1899 and which lasted over 40 years, recalling Mrs. Pat's performance as Eliza Doolittle in the original production of Pygmalion, the years during which Shaw ranted at the idiocy of a world at war, and the post-war years when Mrs. Pat found herself a star of th e past. Tickets for Dear Liar are available at th e Kennedy Th eatre box office and all HITS locations (n o service charge). Call 948-7655. PROGRAM NOTES

Another Part of the Forest is the American Conservatory Theatre's encore to its 1981 production of The Little Foxes which played to standing-room-only crowds at Kennedy Theatre last June. Lillian Hellman's second play about the ruthless Hubbard clan, it takes Regina, Ben, Oscar and the other characters from Foxes back in time twenty years to 1880 when their parents are still alive, revealing the roots of their greed and fascinating nastiness. "Foxes is melodrama," Lillian Hellman told a reporter shortly after The Little Foxes opened in 1939, with Tallulah Bankhead in the role of Regina. "If you believe, as the Greeks did, that man is at the mercy of the gods he might offend, then you write tragedy. The end is inevitable from the beginning. But if you believe that man can solve his problems and is at nobody's mercy, then you will probably write melodrama. " It was less a defense of her biting drama detailing the ruthless power struggles of the Hubbard clan than a clarification of her intent. Exquisitely crafted, tight and economical as an Ibsen drama, The Little Foxes was tough and uncompromising as a gambler's game. She drew her Hubbards as cold, hard schemers, larger than life, at no one's mercy but each other's and cunning enough to outwit the gods, had they admitted to any higher power than their own. What surprised Hellman was 's reaction. She had not intended her audience to think of Regina, Ben and Oscar as villains to whom they had no connection. "There are hundred of Hubbards sitting in rooms like this throughout the country," she has Ben say at the end of The Little Foxes. "All their names aren't Hubbard but they are still Hubbards and they will own the country some day. " Seven years and two plays later, Hellman took the Hubbards back in time 20 years to 1880 when the father and mother were still alive in a small Alabama town still reeling in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Hubbards are not aristocrats, "a distinction that was made for us," Ben explains in The Little Foxes, "and perhaps an important distinction." Aristocrats are too high toned to hold onto what is theirs. The aristocrats rode off to war leaving their cotton and their women to rot. The Hubbards, on the other hand, learned the new ways and learned how to make them pay, and married the poor aristocratic Birdies to get the cotton. In Another Part of the Forest when Birdie comes to beg a loan from the old patriarch Marcus Hubbard, part of his pleasure lies in the fact that her mother has never spoken to him and that no Bagtry has ever deigned to call on him before. To Marcus, the Bagtrys deserved to lose their war and their world, a backward world that was getting in the way of history. Marcus' "new way" had been war profiteering, or as one character puts it, "bleeding the whole state of Alabama with money tricks." He keeps his sons on a short leash, in low paying, menial jobs in the family mercantile store, taking perverse pleasure in their smoldering resentment at th e small daily humiliations. "Think of what I must have wanted in sons," he tells them . "Then think of what I got-one unsuccessful trickster, one proud illiterate." The handsome, headstrong Regina, at age 20, is his pride, but must scheme to get her own way, playing off father and sons against each other. "You should have figured out a long time ago that Papa's going to do whatever you tell him not to, unless I tell him to do it," she tells Ben in one of the many cat and mouse twists in the game that leave the victor uneasy, waiting for the loser's next move. Marcus provides his children with expert tutoring in treachery, bitterness and greed. His treatment of the sad, half crazy Lavinia will serve as a model for Oscar's nastiness to Birdie in The Little Foxes. From the wisdom of her dream world, Lavinia notes that none of her children ever needed a mama. In taking the Hubbards back in time, Hellman believed she could now demonstrate that she had meant The Little Foxes not as a study in evil , but as a kind of satire- an "angry" comedy mixed with drama. Hellman has fashioned two remarkable documentaries on the rise of a new breed in the South. We may be grateful for her graveyard affection for diamondbacks that allows her to lard evil with sardonic humor. And lest we think chicanery a vice peculiar to the South, we have her stern reminder that the Hubbards could inherit the earth.
