Scenic Effects
 in Coming Play Devil in the Cheese" De- picts MeteOra, Historic
 Monastery

Travellers in Greece and readers of the National Geographic will sit back with "so this Is Meteora" when the curtain goes up on Thursday and Friday nights at the Little Theatre play.
 The first and second acts are set in the yard of the age old monas- tery of Meteora in Greece. Meteora Is one of the numerous monasteries that were built on rocky pima cle. For many years their only means of access was by means of q net drawn up the side of the ciif with the aid of an old windless. Now travellers may visit them by climbing precipitous stairs carved in the rock. The nets are now used only for hawling up wood and supplies.
 For comedy effect Tom Cushing has 1t that his chara cters arrive by way of the net. This hilarious scene is aptly described by Mrs Quigley when she screams "yOu might as well expect etiquette from worms in a pail.' when she sits. stai.ds and steps on Pointell who Is submerged In the bottom or the net.
 The ingenuity and mechanical skill of the director and building crew has bene tested by the prob lem of constructing a net strong enough to convey six people over
 e wall without danger of broken arms Ind necks. The windlass constructed is built to carry a thousand pound load.
 Miss schoen,., assisted by Geneva stettbacher. Marie German. Ann de Lancey. Laura Brown and vir- ginia Upson. have been busy paint ing the mossy old monastery walls. the yacht ana desert island hut. All painting and construction work is being done at the new Lit- tie Theatre workshop in the old Buick garage on Willow street.
