Oh, Reverend! How You Run! By MAISIE BROWN What's more fun than seeing four rectors standing in a room in dilemma? Seeing a bishop sitting on a couch in his nightshirt! This is just one of the delicious sights in "See How They Run," the final play of the season of the Hillsdale Community Theatre players. "See How They Run" runs so fast that it's over before you know it, and you wish for more. The nearly full opening-night rocked with laughter almost all the way through the second and third acts. There are so many good lines delivered with such great good humor than we might respectfully request members of the cast to wait a bit for the laughs. Many of the delightful plays on words were covered by guffaws and we'd like to have heard them all.

Each of the nine parts were sharply defined, playing contrast against contrast. Cast members seemed particularly well chosen for the parts they played. And those who had the difficult job of speaking with unfamiliar English accents did a remarkably fine job with very few slips. Stephen Spieth, who spent several years in Australia with his family, did an exceptionally fine job with his words. Patti Forbes had the contrasting Cockney accent and she delivered it with the wide range of tones it so demands.

In a nutshell, the play is a farce, written by Phillip King, and concerns cases of mistaken identity. And all the mistakes wind up dressed as ministers running around the vicarage of MertonCum Middlewick. The vicar, (Spieth), has married an American actress (played by Jan Woodard) who is adjusting well to her new role in life in spite of the usual fussy troublemaker of the parish (a middle-aged woman played by Carole Bradley). The woman is upset because the vicar's wife has usurped the job of decorating the pulpit (Oh, unhappy familiar situation!) To single out one or two of the performances from the others for comment would be difficult, for although some roles are much longer than others, each one is so carefully defined as to be sheer delight to the audience. In this day of television, when everybody is exposed to some rather professional performances every day of the week, it's sheer joy to see our own local players put on such a polished performance.

Others not already mentioned in the cast are Jon Brittain, James W. Keil, Ronald Morgan, David Shoemaker and Robert Dudlay. The fine performance is to be credited to Craig Berger, director. The play is fast. It's funny.

It's gay and delightful. It's a couple of hours well spent. It is to be repeated tonight at 8:30 and Sunday evening at 7:30, at the Woman's Congress Building at the fairgrounds. Oh, wait 'til you see that bumbling bishop! And that minister in his unmentionables! Accidents Busy Local Police Hillsdale City Police busied themselves with accident investigations among other things, in August.

The Rev. Laverne Merritt told his fellow Hillsdale Rotarians, Thursday. He said that psychologists claim people without a sense of humor are more subject to maladjusiments. Why laugh? Merritt listed four motivations and gave amusing examples to illustrate each.

They are: "the inconsistent "exaggeration or "word play" and "the surprise or unexpected." He said that humor tributes to our welfare cause it has a "healing" value (laughter is the best cine), helps us overcome fears and can help us release tensions. It need not--should not -be suggestive, smutty, or dirty to achieve its construetive "Humor," he observed "is a solvent to the irritations of and provides us with a proper perspective of ourselves. It creates fellowship and helps us see the other fellow's point of view The Rev. Merritt was introduced by Roger Losey, program chairman. Rotarians who celebrated birthdays in July, August and I September were honored at a "quarterly" birthday table.
