Kisses, Cheers Greet
 Civic Theater Cast
Audience Reacts Enthusiastically to Yokohama; Cur= tain Calls Frequent; Seasons Hit Repeated Tonight

The Civic Theater of Waterbury went to town last night in their pres entation of the laugh-a-minute mus ical melodrama called 'The Fire mans Flame" The piece is by John Van Druten and is packed with funny business and satire. Usually one gets melodrama straight, but in this instance the high spots had a musical accompaniment. Not since Under the Gaslight" was hissed at old Jacques theater a few seasons ago in the early days of the Civic theater has there been so much riot ouS fun at show.
 In the cast were many old favor ties as well as newcomers. Robert Bardwell not only directed the per- formance but acted as pianist for the musical numbers. Arlene Cofey directed the choreography, played a small role and went through several dances. "The Fireman's Flame" was like that-full of surprises. It is not long before the audience gets on to the plot which concerns two rival fire divisions, the Red Hearts and the Bluebirds. You find yourself cheering for the Bluebirds, becuase the hero, young fireman, played by Charles O'Connor, is identified with this group, while you find yourself hissing Napoleon Markham, head of the rival firemen's gang, the Red Hearts. Napoleon is villainously etched by Simon Rabinowitz who
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-07

had him a time in this part.
 Your heroine is Daphne Wander pool, daughter of rich stock market bird, and Miss Culhane does all that is required with the part. She gave an excellent characterization and as usual articulated in her customary manner, her voice and stage pres ence leaving nothing to be desired. Her old man, we should say father, was well done by Herbert Carlberg. Ohters who helped the good and bad work along were Richard Lawlor, Ross Thompson, Andrew Masone, Charles O'Connor, Thomas Hart, AL bert Blank, Elmer Bahlen, Janet Hines, Arlere Cofey, Eleanor Stun, Clarissa eming, Polly White, Thomas Summa, Anthony Rogers and Edward H. Davis.
 As for the Ere Bellies, ladies of the ensemble, or just plain chorus, they went through their paces in correct formation. Among these were Polly White, Marjorie Farley, Ruth Ream, Margaret Mahoney, Dorothea Ger aghty, and Clare Brothers. Lynette Bowen was heard advantageously in songs. Miss Coffey and Andrew Ma sone did some good stepping. Among the sad vocal opuses of the show were Mother Isn't Getting Any Younger" and 'The Fireman's Flame. Entrances and exits were effected in the good old melodrama way and clapping and hissing were intermingled with laughter. The coStuming was splendidly of the per- iod, and taking it all in all, "The Fireman's Flame" had a warm re- ception.
 The play will be repeated this eve ming. If last evenings curtain calls may be accepted as the basis of a prediction, and after all curtain calls indicate the height of success to ac- tors, the production, ''The Fireman's Flame" will be acknowledged as the seasons outstanding triumph for the Civic Theater Players.
