“ONCE UPON A MATTRESS"
The Mercer Drama and Music Departments present next week,
April 28 and 29. the annual spring musical. The cast has been hard at
work on Once I'pon a Mattress, the hilarious parody based on the old
fairy tale of the Princess anti the Pea. Written by Mary Rodgers, the
daughter of the famous Richard Rogers, M. Barer and J. Thompson,
the show is filled with delightful characters and excellent, happy music.
The authors have taken great
liberties with the old story to
change it from a simple tale into
a mixed-up. highly confused story
fit for Carol Burnett, who played
the lead role in the televised pro
duction.
The poor prince, our hero, is
dominated by his garrulous old
queen mother (Sandy Harrison)
who talks so much and so loudly
that even the king (Hugh Dukes)
is mute and can only communicate
through pantomine. The queen has
decreed that no one in the kingdom
can marry until she has found a
princess who is worth of her son.
Dauntless the Drab (Jim McCal-
lum). Of course, she really doesn't
want her baby boy to wed, so she
is constantly conjuring up impos
sible tests with the aid of her senile
old Wizard (Reace Sanford) that
all the eligible princesses fail.
As it sometimes happened in the
racy days fo 1428, one of the
knights of the court. Sir Harry
(Ed Bacon) and his lady Larkin
(Susan Wiseman) find it extreme
ly necessary to get married, and
quite quickly; so Harry seta off
through the swamps and marshes
in search of a princess.
He succeeds in finding one,
Winnifred the Woebegone (Peggy
Malott) a beautiful example of
feminity and gentleness who grace
fully arrives by swimming the moat.
Harry shows up somewhat belated
ly to announce the "arrival of her
Highness, Princess Winnifred,
Guardian of the Midguard Ser(>ent
and Warden of the Ragmorok
Marsh Lily.”
. The entire court, with the ex
ception of the queen, immediately
I falls in love with the uncouth
princess, and the jester (Jimmy
Newsome) and minstrel (Charles
Russel) hatch a plot to find out
what the test is by flattering the
Wizard.
After many involved complica
tions. it is learned that Winnifred
has passed the sensitivity test, to
the queen's dismay. When over-

everyone getting married and
