1t is happy tradition which re-
suited this week in luncheon with
Holly Harris. who plays Kate at
the Gayety, and Marilyn Day, the
newest Blanca.
Going all the way back to
Patricia Morrison and Lisa Kirk
and coming down through Frances
McCann and Betty George to the
Misses Harris and Day. one feels
he never met a more attractive set
of girls.
One could surmise that this is
because Kiss Me. Kate" is such. a
happy show that its feminine
stars cannot help feeling fine all
the time. This would be less than
courtly, and no man would be
voluntarily less than courtly. The
sounder thought is that the girls
are wonderful before they get
the roles, in fact. if they were
not they would not.
Miss Harris and Miss Day are
as delighted to be in Kiss Me,
Kate" as any two girls could be
Their Kate and Blanca, respec-
lively, are their first starring roles
they played them on Broadway
last summer-and both feel they
could not ask a more delightful
show.
They are looking forward to
going all the way to California in
the Cole Porter-Sam and Bella
Spewack musical. They expect to
have learned the full meaning Of
that word "trouper" before they
get back to New York. perhaps
early next summer.
For one thing. they already have
begun to learn about stages.
"They are all different" Kate
and Blanca agree. And each has
it's special treacheries." says Miss
Harris. The one in Scranton, for
instance, she says wryly. Il was
supposed to make cross behind
the setting. I had no fashlight.
No one had a flashlight. So I
crossed in the dark. What I ran
into. l still don't know, but am
surprised I'm here.
The stage in Boston. at the
Opera House. had Jumps in it.
Miss Day recalls. This required
fixing the Jumps as well as the
lines. the lyrics and the business
of the play in mind before the
company felt easy about the show
there BY the time every one
had the Jumps memorized, it was
time to move on.
All stages are different sizes,
including the Gayety's. In two
weeks. as they are playing here
a company gets on to the dimen-
sions and the little treacheries
of each. But one-night stands,
well, it is better not to talk about
one-night stands.

is a little surprised to find her
self as Kate. This was one she
somehow never thought of.
It's funny. too, in a way" she
says. Il always loved the part,
and when Pat Morrison was sing
ing it in the early days, I used
to drop backstage to visit her
couple of times a week. Yet,
the one thought I ever had of
getting into the company was as
Blanca, and this was not really
serious"
Still all the way back to Miss
Morrison, there has never been

beamed as they met, and for once

enough authority to coordinate

He repeated his antagonism tc
super-paternalism Of the States

said attracting new business with

He said the bureau he has ir

local public officials.

can build a practical and success

The motion was made Tuesday

Richard Strait, Al, Of Riverdale,
who is charged with raping 72-
year-old woman. Mr.. Bowie ar
gued that swearing in grand Jury
witnesses in a witness room, as
has been the custom in the Upper
Marlboro courthouse for at least
I25 years, is illegal.
If Judge Diggs upholds Mr..
Bowie's contention, Strait would
be freed and many other indict-
ments returned by the April

OF failures in most examinations
recently by the commission.
For example. only 1000 of o.
900 applicants made passing
grades on the clerical examina-
ton. The 1000 successful appli-
cants won't be nearly enough, Of
f1cials say, to meet the various

Some agency officials suggest
that the standards be lowered on
these exams SO that more appli-
cants viii be available. They de-
clare that since these appoint
mentS are on a temporary-indefi-
mite basis and will be abolished
at the end of the national emer-
gency, that it would do no harm
to make the exams a little less
difficult.
The same easing of standards
should apply to. other hard-to-f fill
jobs. these officials say.
Meanwhile. the commission has
decided to make some concessions
to the applicants. for the junior
management assistant positions
