(Bud Moyer Photo) 'Ballots Up Premiere Rated a Success i Billed as a pre-Broadway out, the new political comedy, "Ballots Up," which premiered at I the Cherry County Playhouse last night, definitely registered on the success side. The production, dramatized from the novel "Let George Do It," authored by Gov- ernor Foster Furcolo of Massa-1 chnsetts, shows definite promise! ot developing into a first-class; play, but much work still remains to be done before it can duality for this select group. I Basically, it is too long.

I last-minute scissoring was done before the opening last night, but. i it can be sharpened by still more cutting of some scenes and repetitious dialogue. Occasionally one gets the feeling that he is a i child be'ng led by the hand. I A good humorous point i made and then instead of let- STATE ELK RAPIDS 60c 25c Week Niflhts 7 A 9 P.M. Sum.

This tends to remove it from the field of sharp satire to one ot pure comedy.

But, these are picky little points, and I feel certain that the production will sharpen ere the week ages I too much. It must be borne i mind that this play has never been done before nothing has been worked out elsewhere and there is nothing to go on. Strictly trial and error. On the brighter side, there a laughs galore. Sharp provocative situations, and just enough truth that one can't help but come away wondering slightly about the qualifications of some of our politicians.

To it bs- comes obvious that the intent of Fureolo's novel must have been! "Don't Let George Do It." At any rate, the moral is there some-j where, i woven into a i i of improbable and unbelievable situations. A brief iook at the plot. Three not too prominent citizens, inspired by their hunch on a horse race, a paid off, decide to parlay i good fortune by i one of their group, Pete by name, for state representative. Prime mover behind this brainchild is a slippery character named George a i i who resorts to every known trick to get his candidate in. His boy, who is not too bright at first, gradually grows a little wary of the low-blow tactics invented by George and i a ends up in court as the result of a barroom brawl a campaign maneuver of George's a back-fired.

This court-room scene is one of the highlights of show, carried largely by Will i a Morey playing the part of a. named Cooligan. Anyhow, through clever rigging by George and Cooligan, our candidate comes out. smelling like a rose. Next hurdle comes in.
