Almost stealing the curtain calls
at Chekhov's 1.-THE Cherry Or
chard" at the Wilmington Play
house Saturday was a miniature
French poodle named Touche.
Touches role consisted of yap-yap-
yapping across the stage in the be-
ginning of the first act, and yap-
yap-yapping back again just before
the final curtain. During his cur
tain calls, Touche either looked
about in an amazingly bored man.
ner, or yap-yap-yaped above the
applause.
Judging from some of the re-
marks overheard, the little poodle
was the only redeeming feature of
slow and pointless play. These
self-appointed critics had obviously
expected a modern play with
modern plot-and had entirely
missed the beauty and significance
of this Russian classic, as well as
the superb acting of the entire
cast. The technique of Joseph
Schildkraut and Eva LIE Galliene
was thrilling to watch.

school, from which he came home
entranced, eyes shining, to ask his
mother Marguerite Sitter Pakra-
DOOM, if he could stay until next
Sunday.
why do you have to stay until
next Sunday? Marguerite asked.
ITO go to Sunday School," Peter
replied, adding that it was very
important. When asked why he
was so anxious, Peter replied
"Well, we were learning about
Saul-and do you know, all those
guys were ganging up on Saul, and
l want to go back to see how he
made out!"
