SWORDPLAY! Flashing swordsmanship highlighted Captain Appleiackf' Jim Grady claimed complete innocence to his intensive grilling. Pirate Bob McAndrew challenged his captive, Coreen Cordova. Playgoers in every period of history and in every country have enioyed the antics of the involuntary hero. Ambrose Appleiohn of Captain Appleiack was just such a hero. Jim Smith played the meek and mild fellow suddenly confronted by Anna Valeska an aggressive Russian dancer and a thief, played by Coreen Cordova. Mrs. Pengard and her husband Horace, Sandy Joern and Jim Grady, wereequally unsuccessful in obtaining the hidden treasure map from the stately home of the Appleiohns. Adrienne Kulieke as Poppy Faire and Margaret Starr as Mrs. Whatcombe tried to convince Appleiohn to remain at home in Cornwall instead of searching for love in far countries. The adventure, Appleiohn's dream of his exciting ancestry, and his final discovery of romance at home produced a rollick- ing Arabian Night's tale on November i3 and I4, Mr. Pos- ton's first production in the Prospect Theater. The play's excellent cast hammed it up during the final curtain.
