By PETER SMITH Times Correspondent NORTH REDINGTON BEACH For the last 30 years, Once Upon a Mattress has been billed as the play that launched Carol Burnett to stardom. In point of fact, it's the other way around. Carol Burnett clearly made this rather bland show a success by sheer force of talent and will, and the best efforts of the Seminole Players can't quite make it fly. Mattress is the musical retelling of the fairy tale of the Princess and the Pea. STONE, CHESTER "JIM" 60, of Largo, died Wednesday (March 8, 1989) at Morton Plant Hospital, Clearwater.

James Reese Funeral Home, Seminole. well, who overplays dreadfully; you don't have to play an irritating character in an irritating fashion.

Her husband, the mute King, is played by Roland Douville; he shares with Michael Ursua and Kirk P. Simpson one of the few interesting songs, The Minstrel, The Jester and I. Ursua plays both the Minstrel and the juvenile male lead, opposite Robbie-Lynn Campo. Ursua is a talented performer, but Campo overuses her cartoony whine; their duets In A Little While and Yesterday I Loved You are not bad, though. Michael Senesac plays the Wizard with wit and flair.

Once Upon A Mattress is basically a jumble; what should be exuberant is just noisy, what should be sweet and effervescent is heavy-handed. I have seen some of these performers be very good; it seems just to be a case of the wrong people in the wrong play.

Gulfport Memorial Funeral Home 5601 Gulfport Blvd Princess Winnifred me is the last hope for marriage for young Prince Dauntless; his mother, the Queen, has nixed all the other princesses around for some weird Oedipal reason that bears little looking into. Anyway, Fred is just the sort to set Mom's teeth on edge; she's funny, feisty and she swam the moat to get in the castle when the drawbridge got stuck.

The young Prince is instantly smitten by this display of physical prowess; as far as 1 he's concerned, they're as good as wed, but Mom has other plans. She plans to test the fair Fred by the method that you all remember from your storybooks. She gives Fred a bed of 20 downy soft mattresses to sleep upon and puts a pea under the bottom one because even that much irritation would keep a true princess from being able to sleep. Right. REVIEW All of this stuff is tied together by some remarkably pedestrian tunes; this is one of the few hit musicals of the last 30 years without a single memorable song.

But even if the songs had been better, the performers are mostly no more than acceptable. Prince Dauntless is played by Chuck Bollinger, who should be ingenuously sweet and goofy, but doesn't pull it off. You can hear him play down to the character with every line. Michele M. Spears fares somewhat better as Winnifred, but she's the wrong physical type for the part.

She is playing an awkward person, but she is playing it awkwardly, just wearing the mannerisms. The Queen is played by Micki Green- 1..
