Anyone can do that.

Cherry Orchard' planned as comedy by Chekhov By FRED CRAFTS Emerald Entertainment Editor It In rather remarkable that “The Cherry Orchard” haa been so consistently misunderstood and misrepresented by acting compa nies and critics alike for over a half-century despite Chekhov’s vigorous assertions that he had not written a tragedy but “a comedy, and in places even a farce.” From its beginning "The Cher ry Orchard” was a .comedy to : Chekhov. In 1901, only six-months after the completion of "T h e Three 8isters," he told his wife that his next play would be “an amusing one, at least in concep tion.” IN APRIL of the same year he wrote her that he had a strong desire "to write a four-act vaude ville or comedy for the Moscow Art Theatre.” On Sept. 21, 1903 he wrote to his wife: "The last act will be merrv and frivolous. In fact, the whole play will be merry and frivolous.” SUNDAY 2:00-5:00 S.U. Ballroom Admission 40c ® MtDONAlD ...TO LIFT UP YOUR HEART AMP TO LIGHT UP THi ENTERTAINMENT WORLD FOREVER!

KVAL CHANNEL 13 SUNDAY, 9:30 A.M Chekhov seems to have been so anxious that nothing should in terfere with the comic character of the play that he eliminated everything that might induce any deeper emotions. The play, though, has many emotional un dercurrents, but they are all bas ically of a comic nature. "THE CHERRY ORCHARD” fits so entirely Aristotle's defini tion of comedy as "an imitation of characters of a lower type who are not bad in themselves but whose faults possess something ludicrous in them.” What can be more ludicrous than a typical patrician like Gay erf, whose basic characteristics. according to Chekhov, are "sua ' vity and elegance,” turning to hig sister and demanding that she [ should choose between him and | some absurd fool of a footman j like Yasha? When it is very clear that he would not be able to hold the position for even a month, is not the fact that Gayeff ever became a hank official ludicrous ? And is not his sister’s love affair ludi crous ? THE CIRCUMSTANCES lead ing up to the sale of the cherry orchard are in themselves in the extreme. The reactions of Gay eff and his sister to this incident (Continued on page 11) RESERVED SEATS NOW ON SALE GOOD SEATING FOR ALL PERFORMANCES PERFORMANCES Eveningi at 8:00 (Except Sundays at 7:30) MATINEES Sat., Sun., 1:30 p.m. PRICES AH Performances — Logcs . . , 2.00 Orch. ... 1.45 Balcony ... 1.23 All Seats 1.2S, Wednesday matinee.
