He gives good indication of his Broadway training.

The poker players are Byron Jackson, Charles Pro-ksch, Milton Kamenitz and Eliot Kamenitz. Each turns in a good performance. Many of the show's laughs come from this group as they worry about their friend Felix and how his marital troubles will affect him. Joan Lacey as the beautiful Gwendolyn Pigeon and Dianne Johnson as her cute sister Cecily, add interest to the show. The crying scene of the English sisters from the apartment upstairs, as they listen to the troubles of Felix while waiting for a cocktail, is one of the show's highlights.

The adult comedy stars Brad Lacey as Walter Madison, a New York sports writer, and Jim Siford as Felix Ungar, the man who shares Madison's apartment when Ungar's wife throws him out. It is very, very funny. Lacey has appeared in many roles with the Players. He was great in "King and In "Odd Couple" he is tremendous.

The agonies he suffers when, at his invitation, his good friend Felix moves in with him and transforms his existence and his apartment from less than casual to neat and tidy, are real indeed. Friends Suffer Too Siford, as the newly-divorced male, who can't believe this has happened to him and never really understands why, suffers equally, as to the May 30 Supper The Fort Myers Swim Club will hold a chicken pot luck supper on Memorial Day, May 30 at 5 p.m. Following the meal there will be a water ballet performance and a special membership meeting.
