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.

said "Get out and get practical
experience. Quality yourselves
by taming how your govern
