Polo never realizes that she is in love with him, and remains true to his childhood sweetheart in Venice. ^ Replying to one of Kukachin’s rare outbursts that she would be “middle-aged, fat, and stupid” when he returned, Polo replied that he was looking for common sense in a wife and' who cared if she were a little plump? “Kukachin pines away and fin ally dies of a broken heart,” Doree added. “The whole situation is very frustrating.” Practicing her hysterical and ironical laughs is keeping Doree busy these last few days before Ap ril 30, when "Marco Millions” will be presented in McArthur Court. “I laugh at Polo quite often,” Doree said, “and always with a touch of either hysteria or irony. He is really very difficult.” Although this is Doree’s first col lege production, she has played at 'll..
