'Torch Bearers'
Said Humorous,
Debunks Theater
By Dorothy Prultt
Deciding it would be fun as
well as good training in thes
pian sportsmanship to kid them
snhws iru Fnnlliuhlprs. local
drama' group, have chosen the
satirical comeay, mv iwui
Bearers," for their current pro
duction. No wiser choice could
have been made, either from the
viewpoint of training or enter
tainment, for it is undoubtedly
one of the funniest plays ever
written, and a masterpiece in
spoofing its own art form.
In lines that sparkle with wit
and satire, author George Kelly
has, largely through the char
acter of Mrs. Pampinelli, irrev
erently lampooned all would
be actors who take themselves
too seriously, as well as those

controllable desire to produce
plays" and "to tell the players

be without plot in the strict

most of all painful moments
when tilings go wrong un me
stage, including such hilarious
mishaps as when the mustache
falls off, or the addled lady
prompter lakes a curiam can.
Thus both the real audience and
the players within the play are
enabled to have great fun at no
body's expense as each humor
ous step unfolds during rehear
sal, both in stage business and
the directions necessary in put
ting on a play.
A well-chosen cast of twelve
includes Hal Newhouse, Jim Sul

Hopkins, Ken Bushnell, Aubrey
Harris, Charlene Pinke. Laura
Porter, Frankie Burton, Milo
Hunt, Beverly Hampson, Jean
ette Hampson.
Under the dynamic direction
of Lenore Zapell, and backed by
a capable production manager,
Robert MacLauchlan, both of
whom have had considerable ex
perience, the Footllghters
promise to do full justice to the
sparkling satire.
The production will b pre
