MARYLAND, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 19S9 SEVEN Daily Mail ven omen 6 "Call Me Madam," Ihe Irving Berlin musical comedy, a musical satrie on a lady ambas- lador sent to the mythical country of Lichtenburg, opened a week's run last evening at the Totem Pole Theatre, and a more sparkling, happy, happy, happy show we have never seen. Jean Staplecon, an actress of stature, known to the Broadway stage and Hollywood, makes her singular appearance for the season, and with her own inimitable brand of humor, her ftair for comedy, her gregarious and friendly personality, and a warmth which is ever present off-slage and which finds its way across the footlights, found the consensus at Ihe close of Ihe evening, that what she lacked in voice she made up by the sheer effervescence of her true trouper personality, and both "Harry," "Bess," "Margaret," and "Pcrle," would have been more than proud of her. The story is Ihe luncful melodies have been sung many limes, bul to hear Ihcm iung on stage of the Tolcm Pole was a joy, and to view the opulent staging, and observe the many characters'is to find a delightful evening of theatre. Pictured with Miss Staplcton in one of her splashy gowns with which she fairly lit up the stage, is her most attractive leading man, Lawrence Haddon, oa vacation from his Broadway show, "The Warm Peninsula," in which he loured with Julie Harris last season and to whicb he will return in September. As "Cosmo Constantine," the foreign minister, and head of the Conservative Radical party, Mr.

Haddon added stature, romantic interest, and a pleasant singing voice to Ihe cast, and helped make this production the hit of the current season to dale. Many little vignettes add to the gaiety and color of the show. Especially well-received and applauded after each of his songs was the Tolem Pole favorite, Doug Robinson, and Margot Harley, as "Princess Maria." Added to the foot- tapping melodies were the very funny scenes including Perk's acceptance speech, which she kept repeating over and over; Ihe flag-waving Killie Heffner as Senator Jane Brockband," singing "God Bless Ken Hulet an especially good role and deserving of his fine talenl; Ihe Ambassador's presentation at Court; the conversations with "Harry," which she belted out with gusto; and the general vigor of the whole production. Again it is a happy show, and the stars spread magic on Ihe stage.
