Footlighters' For Five Day "Here Today," Footlighter's spring play which opened last night at the Fairgrounds' thea ter for a five-day run, isn't just plain comedy. It's a piece of nonsensical fluff with zany characters rollicking through life with a "here today, gone tomorrow" philosophy. The plot is thin and there are no great truths to be absorbed, but the lines are witty some times hilarious, and everyone has fun, both the cast and the audience. Either by chance or shrewd casting, every person on the stage fits comfortably into his role. Jeraldyn Jerome plays the attractive, wise-cracking authoress with a gay, light touch which seems just right, and handsome Curt Butter field is equally at home in the role of the ex-husband, Philip Graves, who hasn't forgotten the first wife although busily attempting to sign up the sec ond one. In Robbie Robbins Footlighters has an actor who can turn out a neat bit of com edy. In this play he is Stan ley, Mary Hilliard's "compan ion" who proves helpful in many emergencies, such as suggesting that the wedding party wear roller skates, and who comes up with' the story that he has three factories which aren't manufacturing anything yet, ''but we've got our men on the road finding out what's wanted." Beverly Nelson plays Claire, pretty young socialite who has trouble for a time deciding whom to marry. Miss Nelson doesn't seem as relaxed in her role as the remainder of the cast, but since Claire is the worrying type anyway, it doesn't really matter. Al Reiss turns in a credit able performance as Jeffrey Windrew, Claire's callow young brother, who rushes about trying to decide what to wear to meet a famous au- . thoress. but who later proves not to be so callow after all Cast as Mrs. Windrew, stiff- necked Back Bay Bostonian is Helen AsTiley, who is deaf to what she doesn't want to hear, has to be reminded how many steps there are when she leaves the house, and who places her dead husband's pic ture "where he will have a , good view." Bostonian Not So Proper The cast is completed by Charles Tucker as Spencer Grant, another proper Bos tonian who isn't so proper when the truth is out, and Shirley Butterfield as the maid.'Caldonia, who is forever Japanese Cities Shaken by Quake Tokyo OPI A "rather strong" earthquake shook most of Japan's cities on northeast Honshu tonight, but caused no damage.
