Review of The Play

The Gazebo' by Alec Coppel
the second play in the series Of
fered by the Garrett County Play
house opened with bang TO 3
receptive audience Tuesday eve
ming. This play had its Broadway
opening in November 1858. dur
the New York newspaper strike
Despite little publicity it enjoyed
good run on Broadway. Its stars
we're Audrey Meadows and Walter
Slezak This is a pseudo-mystery
that is sustained by the turning Of
the plot and climated by a twist
at the end.
Jim Friedman did an excellent
job of building suspense as Elliott
Nash, a frustrated, I. V. Mystery
writer who finds himself sub.
merged in suburbia. The plot
thickens when the gazebo, a 18th
century summer house. is pre-
sentcd to her husband by Nell
Nash, who is ably played by judith
Wiemken. Judith, by the way, adds
quite a dash of decorative, en-
thusiastic sparkle to the farce.
Marty Mcclure as Mr.. Thorpe gave
a first rate performance for the
second time this season, and from
comments we have heard. he is
fast becoming one of the favorites
at the Playhouse. We look forward
to enjoying Judy Knaiz and Richard
Dorian in future plays. These
promising newcomers are intro
duccd to Garrett County Playhouse
audiences this week. Sally Lutin
as Matilda gives her usual excel
lent portrayal of the maid. Sally
is a very busy gal as she doubles
as Stage Manager also. Competent
performances were given by the
rest of the cast.
This IS a family play. Light and
frothy, so if you can tear your
selves away from the Convention
on T, V. come to the Playhouse and
bring your friends.
BY the way if you think you see
that wonderful guy, the director
and the one responsible for the
Playhouse, Gene Yell, in this play,
you are rot seeing things. He does
drop in.
Garrett County summers would
indeed be dull without the Play
house. Gene gives up his vacation
to bring US entertainment. We can
take advantage of it by attending
the Playhouse this week and every
week the rest of the season.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va.
Oct. 14.-An investigation has
revealed faulty construction in
a bleacher section that collapsed
during a football game neal
here last night, injuring scores
of persons, a school official
said today.
The accident occurred during
a game at Stafford High School
Nearly so persons were taken
to Mary Washington Hospital
but only six were admitted. In
all nearly 100 were treated fol-
minor injuries.
Stafford County School Supt
T. Benton Gayle said the col
lapsed section evidently hao
not been adequately inspected
and repaired.
He said a personal inspection
of the remaining section re-
vealed that several beams used
for cross bracing were missing
and that others were bent.
The portable stands were
purchased about four years age
from a Washington firm anc
probably were used as street
stands for the presidential in
auguration of 1857, Mr.. Gayle
added.

this account:
"One of the Stafford players
made a long run and was
knocked out of bounds and
tackled in front of the opposi-
ton bench.
"As the player crashed into
the Spotsylvania bench, nearly
300 persons who were sitting in
the bleachers a few feet away,
suddenly jumped to their feet
in unison.
Then the whole thing just
disappeared" 1t. Holmes said.
II got in the ambulance and
raced across the field. I
saw students and adults mixed
with what was left of the
bleachers in one big jumbled
pile on the ground"
The rescue official said he ra-
diced for help and started aid
ing the injured persons.
Within minutes, four addi-
tional ambulances and two res
cue trucks from Fredericksburg
arrived.
Nearly so wanted to go to the
hospital but at least twice that

Driver Tests Get New Twist
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star stan Writer

Applicants for District
drivers licenses soon will have
all the answers before they take
the examination.
George A. England, director
of the District Motor Vehicles
Department, said distribution
of a new drivers examination
study guide pamphlet will start
Monday.
This leaflet lists 78 questions
and gives three possible answers
for each. The number of the
correct answer to each question
is carried on the back of the
folder.
A different set of 20 questions
from the rs will be chosen each
day for the examination. Nat
urally, the test itself will not
indicate which of the possible
answers is correct.
Ana, OF course, no ADVANCE
answers will be available for
the separate written test de-
signed to reflect the applicants
attitude toward safe driving
practices.
At present, applicants are
given a handbook of rules of
the road, but this publication
does not contain specific an
swers to questions.
Mr.. England said the 78
questions to be used are part
of a group that have been
tested for the last six months.
He said that only these 78
questions were found to be
valid. The res, he said, were
either too easy or too hard.
Generally, Mr.. England said,

and his East European cronies
would leave any lasting effect.
The Soviet leader few back
to Moscow from New York's
Idlewild Airport last night ''in
a good mood" according to his
farewell statement.
Both the General Assembly
and Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold, who is under
assault from the fiery Soviet
Premier, delivered rebuffs to
Mr.. Khrushchev's policies on
his busy last day here yester-
day.
The Soviet leaders attempt
to arraign the United States
before a General Assembly
plenary session on charges of
aggression" in sending spy
planes over the Soviet Union
was decisively defeated, 54-10,
with SO abStentions.

The secretary general an
Swered another Khrushchev
blast for alleged partiality to
the West with the retort that
he would use his "own COM
pass" in charting his policies.
On the Soviet Premier's part
he was emphasizing the posi-.
tive. In yesterday morning,
session he won overwhelming
General Assembly approval fol

the 78 questions to be used
from now on are tougher and
more comprehensive than those
formerly given.
However, he said the test
failure rate may be reduced,
since applicants will have an
incentive to study all the an
