Q. If one has just moved into a
new neighborhood and some of
the neighbors have paid calls, how
soon should one return these calls

do SO is a strong indication that
the friendships are not desired.
Q. Should one address the wife
of a judge as Mrs. Judge Hoff-

husbands title, and should be ad-
dressed as Mrs. Hoffman"
@. What would be a safe de-
cision if a man is in doubt as to
the selection of a gift for a girl?
A.. Flowers are never out of

G. w. Players Stage
An Original Farce
In Rapid.Fire Style
BY Harry Macarthur

The spirit Of George Abbott ha,
turned up. Of all places. at Lisnel
Auditorium OF George Washington
University. where the uniyersit,
Players are staging q farce With
music entitled '.Somersault in the
Sea" It was written by Edward
Mangum. Zelda Fichandler and
Albert Berkowitz (who also did the
songs and has been staged In
lively fashion by Mr.. Mangum and
Miss Fichandler. This is the last
night OF the plays run and there
are a lot of less rewarding ways
you could pass the evening.
"Somersault In the Sea" Is
rather short on plot and even
shorter on music, for a work that
has been described in advance as
play with music. The basic situ-
alton which has inspired the au-
thors is a funny one--the real life
strike Of the guards at a prison
farm q few months back. In the
play fashioned by Mr.. Mangun.
with the aid OF Miss Fichandler
and MIR. Berkowitz, the guards
strike, but the inmates refuse to
take advantage of it. Their happy
home has twice won a cup for
being a model prison and they
want a third win and permanent
possession.
This Is joke that is stretched
a little too far for its own good
but the authors have hung ii
with a series of blackout sketches
that are sheer and wonderful non-
sense. Most Of them are truly
funny. "Somersault in the Sea
is the sort of thing that calls Tor
expert playing and direction and
1t gets enough of both. Mr.
Mangum has given the farce a
great deal of that old slam bang
Abbott touch. Lines are not
merely spoken. They are shot
across the stage. The recipient
does not react; he recoils and
bounces back to fire a salvo in
return.
The playing is full Of comic
spirit. Stan Telchin's portrait OF
the prisoners leader is a fine one
that wouldn 'tseem out of place in
the professional theater. 1t
doesn't seem out OF place in the
university theater. either. since
the others are almost up to 1t,
especially Barbara Kananack
Louise Gertz. John Wilson and
Louis Teitel. The whole cast is
good, as a matter of fact. Donald
Kline has designed a three-level
setting that is both handsome and
utilitarian, though which the play
flows with both ease and speed.
"Somersault In the Sea" is an
overstretched joke, but 1t is a
funny one.

never will people have given so
much to see so little.
Sadly. this is partially my
own fault. 1t was around three
months ago that Ski-nose ap-
preached me with a fangdog
look on his annuities. and
asked: "Bing, how about an
other road?"
Naturally, I told him to hit 1t,
but he persisted. When ! told
him that charity began at home.
he offered to move In with me.
Then he told me confidentially
that he was in serious trouble.
I had heard his radio show and
knew that he wasn't kidding.
So I suggested that he take a
little show on the road. having
in mind a small medicine ped
ding outfit, which I felt was in
keeping with his talent and his
torso. No one could have been
more surprised than I when I
learned he had inveigled such
sterling performers as Doris
Day, Les Brown. Irene Ryan and
the tumbling Titans to front
for him before the audiences OF
America.
Realizing that I was sort OF
accessory before the fact in this
4 case, the least I can do is to
give your readers some advice
on how to cope with their prob
lem. First, they will gain moth
ing by refusing to see Hope. If
they don't go to see him, he
has been known to 60 for house.
toulouse entertaining. Believe
me, 1t will be much better to
catch his act at a distance in
your spacious Constitution Hall
than in the much closer con-
fines of your own living room.
So tell your readers. Jay, to
approach Hope with the same
fortitude that the farmer shows
when confronted with the boil
weevil. And. believe me. the re-
semblance between the two Is
more than striking.
Personally, I hope the people
of Washington like Robert. I
hope they take him into their
arms. I'd love to see him build
In Washington. Or in Virginia
or Maryland. I can round up
at least so people who will be
more than glad to sponsor a
hideaway for Hope In the Blue
Ridge.
My deepest sympathy.

Dear jew:
As partial thanks for the ex-
cellent way in which Washing

while at the same time scorn-
ing q synthetic Indian opus
called "Paleface"-I want to
warn your readers Of an un-
fortunate impending event,
namely one Bob Hope.
It seems that the Doris Day

comedian. I'm sorry I have bad
news for you. Jay. have solved
the mystery. The comic will be

me the District Is confronted

lem since the gates closed

stand that with a gall that
should be carved on the side Of

charging as much as So ticket.
Truthfully, I can report In the
