Vining Company Io Give Comedy As Tonight's Play Ashland Seats are still avail able at the box office of the Lithia theatre where the Vining Repertory's production of "Ar senic and Old Lace," the comedy of mirth and mayhem which rocked Broadway audiences for three-and-a-half years, plays to night and on May 6th and 10th. Written by Joseph Kesselring, "Arsenic and Old Lace" has been performed successfully all over the country, as well as in London and other foreign capi tals, and was the fourth longest running hit in stage history when it closed In New York after 1,444 performances. In developing his mad-cap plot, the author selected his grandmother for the focal point of the play, and then tried to imagine the most improbable thing she could possibly do. After dreaming up, and reject ing, several possibe themes in cluding that of making the old lady a bootlegger he eventu ally hit upon the idea of mass homicide, but mass homicide in such a gentle and lovable fash ion that no one but the most prudish could object to his story. Friday night's play will be Death of a Salesman," consid- , ered one of the most compelling and dramatic of modern plays, ' and Saturday the company will perform "The Importance of Being Earnest," long-time favor ite of theater fans.
