The central feminine role, that 'of a

nnd is advertised for the McDonald
theater beginning Monday for four

"Charley's Aunt" probably holds
more records for long-distance run
ning on the stage than anything out
side of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The
farce was written by Brandon
Thomas and first produced in Eng
nnl In 1802. The remarkable thing
-about the play was the fact that it
has run continuously for the last 33
years and still shows evDence of
going strong.
"Charley's Aunt" 1 also credited
wrth being the funnient phiy ever
written, and In making the picture the
producers have, designed the scenario
to keep all of the biggest laughing
sequences in the pay intact. Syd
Chapin plays the title role of "Char

come -from" and he is said to do the
best work of his career.
