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.
