and presidency of Harry S. Truman, who took office after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945 and served until 1953, is remarkable for several reasons. First, it’s pretty cool that we ... have the opportunity to see a U.S. president portrayed by his grandson on stage ... It’s also comforting to be reminded that we once had a president of the United States who was not only as tough as nails but also fair-minded, decent and well-read. ...

Clifton Daniel, Jr. Daniel is honorary chairman of the board of the Truman Library Institute, Kansas City, Mo., and board secretary of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. He is author of “Growing Up with My Grandfather: Memories of Harry S. Truman” and “Dear Harry, Love Bess: Bess Truman’s Letters to Harry Truman, 19191943.” In addition to portraying his famous grandfather on stage, Daniel is a soughtafter lecturer on various aspects of the Truman presidency, as well as United States and White House history.

McMurphy in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and Antonio Salieri in “Amadeus.” He has also had supporting roles in two episodes of “Matlock” and played Roma Downey’s husband in the never-aired pilot for “Touched by an Angel.” Daniel most recently portrayed the role of President Harry S. Truman, his grandfather, in the award-winning independent film, “Second Samuel,” from Director/Executive Producer/Co-writer J. Wayne Patterson, Jr. “Give ’Em Hell, Harry! The life and presidency of Harry S. Truman as portrayed by his grandson Clifton Truman Daniel” is Sunday, Oct. 10, at 5 p.m. at Cape May Convention Hall, 714 Beach Ave. Tickets are $40 adults, $15 students and teachers.
