HT W' WmJmA -4lM5k. Ifs i Bare Fact oaoes NEW BRUNSWICK, N. SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 1964. FHS Seniors Stage 'KIND SIR' HAS WOMEN OOOHING MILLBURN "Kind Sir." the sophisticated comedy currently at the Paper Mill Playhouse, is attracting women for more than the usual reasons. The first reason, understandably, is that the popular Arlene Francis is the star and her leading man is Michael Allison, who played Professor Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" for two years on Broadway.

The ladies ooh and aah at Allison even as Miss Francis does in the on-stage romance. The extra reason why the ladies are trundling off to the Paper Mill to view "Kind Sir" is Miss Francis' That, according to the audience is worth a bit of ooh and aah, too. Among the costumes -Miss Francis sweeps about the stage in is a layer over layer over layer chiffon creation bedecked with white fox. Another of her costumes is a sweeping floor length dinner gown with an enormous flower print. "Kind Sir" fashion show, comedy, romance and all will.

AP) -Three bare-breasted show-girls descended from the ceiling on small, suspended discs.

They didn't know it, but they were pushing a trend that one day may force Las Vegas to compete with Broadway in the show field. Intricate Maneuvers Down on the stage, the curtain rose and dozens more girls some clad elegantly, some almost invisibly threaded through intricate maneuvers amid flashing lights and crashing music. It was the spectacular and opulent opening of the newest edition of the Stardust Hotel's Lido de Paris French revue. The three bare show girls revolved slowly on their platforms in a bath of light. On the sprawling stage, the size of a basketball court, the show moved massively through its two hours.

Unexpected Touches It was studded by such unexpected touches as: The startling, whirring flight of a covey of doves from a spotlight booth to the stage. A tropical island destroyed by fire and a hurricane. A live white horse and rider, galloping in the basement and reflected to the audience by a huge mirror. A circus with performing seals and flimsily caged tigers. An ice duet, and a grand finale featuring customed and half-costumed girls perched in the backdrop while fireworks spread sparks behind them.

The Stardust installed the new show, with a cast of 70, even though the previous edition was drawing 1,000 persons twice nightly three times on Satur- RT. 9 tRNSTONHP. Continous Dally From P.M.

m.tCiCTErSF33' Ik Gamblers day every day of the year. Business was so good, in fact, that the half-clad showgirls are forcing a transformation of the Las Vegas show philosophy. Other hotels are hinting that they may go the spectacle route blazed by the Stardust and the Tropicana. The Thunderbird has already switched to a stripped-down Broadway show theme. The Dunes, after a half-year flirtation with "Guys and Dolls," is installing a French revue.

The Sahara Hotel is getting ready to enlarge its showroom so it can stage 'ull-size Broadway productions or originals. The Desert Inn, sister hotel to the Stardust, will shortly enlarge its own showroom and stage in order to produce Broadway shows. Why should the plush strip hotels abandon a policy that has made them a neon shrine to the star system? It should come as no shock that tlie singers, hoofers and comics are on the marquee to lure gamblers. Strip hotel officials are quite frank about that.

McCarter officials also announced the establishment of the Marguerite McAnany Scholarship Award as a permanent tribute to "Mrs. Mac" and her contribution to "theater in Princeton and to McCarter in particular."

The scholarship will be presented for the first time at the testimonial dinner in February.

Long Association Mrs. McAneny was a founding member of the Princeton Community Players in 1933, and has been on its board of directors almost continually since. She began her long association with McCarter in the early '30s, when the Players used the theater as their permanent home. Beginning in 1946, she functioned as "unofficial executive assistant" to Bunn, and was formally appointed first theater manager in 1954-58, during the period in which McCarter was operated by the New York office of Bennett and Pleasant. She be- came general manager in 1938.

Mrs. Mac has been in the out of the theater, both as a profession and avocation, since 1926, when she joined the office of the eminent Broadway producer Gil-' bert Miller as a playreader. Her husband, Herbert McAneny, is headmaster of Princeton Country Day School, and one of her two daughters, Leslie, directed the McCarter production of "Alice in Wonderland" this past fall. again will be served from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m., with dancing after 11 p.m.

Miss De Haven Qualifies Well For Gypsy Role CEDAR GROVE Gloria DeHaven is well qualified for the demanding leading role in "Gypsy," opening Thursday at the Meadovvbrook Dinner Theater. Last year she took over the Dorothy Collins role in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" at the Sorrowtown Music Fair with only two limited rehearsals when Miss Collins was forced to withdraw due to a serious throat ailment. The tiny actress, daughter of former vaudevillian Carter DeHaven and the late Flora Parker of the cinema, scored in the substitution and continued in the show coast to coast. The beautiful, talented star is universally known for her motion picture appearances for MGM in "I'll Get By," "Three Little Words" "The Thin Man Goes Home," "Step Lively," "Two Girls and a Sailor," and others.

She starred for R.K.O. Paramount and Universal International. This Week's Playbill CEDAR GROVE Meadow-brook Dinner Theater: "Gypsy," with Gloria DeHaven. Thursday through Sunday at 8:30. FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP Franklin High School: "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, Senior Class play.

After more than thirty years of dedicated service to the cause of theater in Princeton, and a decade as McCarter's general manager, "Mrs.

Mac," as she nas been known to two generations of Princeton theatergoers, is answering the urgent call of the Princeton University Library's Theater Collection, of which she has been part-time curator since 1939. In recognition of what Arthur Lithgow, McCarter executive director, termed her "amazing and truly remarkable" term of service to professional and amateur theater in Princeton, a testimonial dinner will be held Feb. 8 at 8:30 p.m. at the Nassau Inn.
