the underworld, but not for coy little Nancy! Mandy stopped the audience, the show, and almost the lights, when she sat down on Lil's limited lap. Fresh gales of laughter greeted Polky's entrance. which included the cane, top hat and grayed head. Due undoubtedly to advancing age, her beard began to fall out before our very eyes, and she made her exit practically clean shaven. Nancy proved most baffling of all. As Nitro VonGliserinstein, the old meanie, she wore a good imitation of the forest primeval. Whiz was simply ravishing in that Schiaparelli creation of purple satin Cdrapery by Beej. We wish we could report on the complicated plot which we saw unraveled, but due to constant laughter which interrupted, the best we can say is, the pantomime was overwhelming. THE MAID VVHO VVOULDN'T BE PROPER Suzanne, The Maid Who Wouldn't Be Proper was very improper indeed, and according to our Inter and Junior puppeteers, stood on her head at the slight- est provocation. This was terribly upsetting to her lrate Father, who had the Only Proper View Head up, Feet down, Always! and most disturbing to her Motherly Mother, who wanted to marry her oil. The only way to settle down A most improper daughter Is to marry her off to a proper young man Who'd make her do what she oughterf' The Proper Young Man, coming to ask for the hand of Proper Prudence had, therefore, to be persuaded to marry Suzanne! Both Sue and her Gypsy Boy found the thought very funny Cas Edna Kaufman's hearty laughter provedj especially as the ragged trees and rugged campfires and winding roads were actually waiting for them. The moral of the tale might be said to be lf it is proper for two proper people to marry because they love each other, then it is just as proper for two improper little puppets to wed for the same reason. When the Irate Father finally admitted this 'Aopposite point of view there was nothing much left for him to do but stand on his head, which he did! Special commendation to Gloria Schustek, Claire Field, Edna Kaufman, Betty Mitchell, Doris Woloshin and Selene Davidson, for their skillful manipu- lation of the dolls, and to Jean Jahr, Phoebe Weinstein, Marion Eisen, Dolly Newcorn, June Saltzman, and Toby Goldman for their interpretations of the parts.
