Hawley Mertz, of Evanston, whose work in "Autumn Fire" last year brought him to the attention of North Shore audiences, plays an eccentric "hardâ€"boiled" part in an exceedingly natural manner. Zoé Comer, dramatic director at Deerâ€" fieldâ€"Shields high school, Highland: Park, and a graduate of the School of Speech, Northwestern university, has been entrusted with the difficult and mysterious role of ‘Rose Akroyd.
