Alfred Christie (from Belleville) (1950)

... The other half of this versatile team, Alfred Christie hails from Belleville, N.J. His reputation is tops in that state and across the river for his work with community theaters. He went through New York University and Columbia with John Vari and is studying with him now for his Ph. D. A teacher, also, he heads his department.
As a footnote on Alfred Christie, we wonder if you remember the sensation he caused a few years ago when all the New York papers called him "The Miracle Boy of the War."
