(powders f Meet Gloria Foster All The Critics Raved Over Chicago Beauty By SARA SLACK Although multi-talented Gloria Foster started out to be a school teacher with intentions of talking and singing to her pupils, she did — what all women are privil­ eged to do — she changed her mind and became an actress- singer. The sandy-haired Chicago beau ty excited quite a stir October 31 when she stepped before the critics for the first time in her off-Broadway acting-singing de­ but. Staggered and astonished by the critics” adulation and praise cf her performance in the produc­ tion of "In White America” at the Sheridan Square Theatre, the tall, willowy actress with a Junoesque figure said she was "very surprised and overwhelm­ ed by the flattering reviews I received after our opening. "It’s so very encouraging be­ cause I never believed the crit­ ics would notice my work at all So many others worked much harder than I.” Campus Sweetheart* A product of Wisconsin schools, while attending Illinois State Nor­ mal School, this sensational thes- pian was chosen "Sweetheart of The Campus” by her fellow stu­ dents. She wore the crown for a year. While attending Chicago Tea­ cher's College, Miss Foster de­ cided that she liked the feeling of being on stage, more than being in a classroom, so she changed her major to dramatic arts. "I enjoy the feeling of the stage. I like the feeling it gives me and I like the feeling and response of the audience,” she said. During the four years that she attended the Goodman School of Drama, where she was taught by the masters, the famous teach­ er, Dr. Bella Itkin, recognized her star talents and coached her privately. Was Nun In her first stage appearence, Miss Foster piayed^h nun in, "The Velvet Glove.” From then] on, she scored heavily in parts) ranging from young ingenues to Sabina in the "Skin of Our Teeth” to the title role in “Med Of all the parts she has play­ ed, Miss Foster said that the role of the scheming, murder­ ous Media in the Euripides’ tra­ gedy is her favorite, "This one I want to do again, and again and again,” she said. As a result*of the- New Ycrl. critics’ acc^im, the statuesque star said that she is being swamp­ ed daily with offers to appear in stage and television shows. She said much of her spare time is spent reading scripts sent to her with requests to portray lead­ ing roles. Role A Challenge "I've been reading some g'cd scripts, but, I don’t feei any car wrap me up like this documen­ tary on Negro life. This role is such a challenge to me,” she said. A staunch civil rights suppor­ ter and a paid-up member of the NAACP, Miss Foster was among those up front at the August 28 March on Washington. "Everytime another Negro is rejected, I am too,” she ex­ claimed. It is her considered opinion that: "All men are great! This is a man’s world and I’m very con­ tent to step aside and let men run it.” A veteran of motion picture films with a few television ap­ pearances, Miss Foster said she looks forward to exploring other media. “I just want to act and go on acting forever,” she said.
