From ordinary 19th century mel- odrama to the groat 17th century classics is quite a Jump and the Town Hall Players took It vory well in their stride. Ono can frank- ly admit that "The Doctor In Spito of Himself" surpassed any of this year's plays In noting, in the sub- tlety of scenes, costumes and thor- ough knowledge of the material at hiuid by the actors. Their come- backs were quick and seemingly natural according to the manner- isms of the 17th century. Without exception Iho cast did an excellent job. Janio.s YanWn rt, as Sgannrello seemed to bo much more at ease and therefore sur- passed any of his previous roles to date . His Sganarollo was fully as funny and witty as Molioro must have planned liini to bo. Tho audi- ence was especiall y receptive to the little scone in which ho con- tused tho father of tho stricken girl , Lucindc , with a liiuinlio-jumblo of Latin grammar instead of inodi- sal terms. Warren Frost, as Lucas , should again be mentioned as out- standing In his not too largo sup- porting role. Vulisro, played by John McAliistan, a native o( Brew- ster, was indeed some one ot whom the community should bo duly proud. At tho ago of U ho put in a perfectly,smooth and convincing performance, Tho othor skit , "Sparkln "' was fair, but reall y not necessary on a program with as good a play as 'The Doctor In Spito of Himself. " Your reviewer us well as some members of the audience woro a little disturbed by the over-use of inukeup for tho actors In both plays. Uordon H. Argo did a splondid fob of translation from the Fronch "Lo Medecln Malgro Lul" and it would be grand if ho lot us have another glimpse at his talents as translator-director In some future pluy. It Is u play well worth soelng for laughs and for a glimpse of 17th century middle-class France. —M.S.P.

CHATHAM NEWS "The Two Mrs. Currolls , by Martin Vale, is a happy choice ot play for a summer evening, or mat- inee, as well , for that matter, as given at the Falmouth Playhouse this woek. The developing trlungle which the audience cutches at its llrat glimmer, becuuse of certain incidental statements mude by the various characters, Is put together by the spectators , who guess the faithless character of tho young artist , us well UB IIIB burglar hab- its. Later, tho hint of his murder- ous tendoncioB Is cunflruiod by the first Mrs. (Harriot) Carroll . (Anna Karcni, who puys a V IBII to tho sec- ond , Sully Carroll , a part charm- ingly and oxporlly played by Sylvia Sldtioy, this wook's star. As one playgoer was hoard to say as sho left the theatre at tho closu ot Monday night's performance , "It seemed good lo see the part of the second Mrs. Carroll played tin so young a woman und as MI HH Sidney did It." Murlal Williams , as Mrs. Cecily Harden , the young widow , toward whom the artist Carroll's "eyes wandered," rather exaggerated the 'role el' the meddlesome female by playing UH a port, little go-getter , leaving nothing of her Intentions to the imagination. Mrs. Latham, tho mother , was a gracious lady, played by Myrllo Tannnhiil; Dr. Tuttlo, direct and unsubtl c doctor , had a part well filled by Howard Wendell; ('leni- ence, the Kronch maid (Nancy Mar- chand ), pleased the audience well , with her laud talk, but understand - ing manner. The two mon who loved Sully, l'oiinlngton , staunch faithful, who got Ills reward In the end us her almost rescuer (the "almost " capacity no fault or his own), played by David OrrU lt ; and Geoffrey Carroll , whom Karl Weber portrayed as Hie treacherous hus- band, following a Bet pattern with each Wife, us ho tired of her, and condemning himself by tho quic k Bhowlng of suspicion when fear made him desperate, Loved to t)io end by his wife , Sully, who was tender with him at tho climax , though having a moment before bidden him leave her forever, Geof- frey was consistently Ignoble , In the end, weighing carefully his fu- ture's pros and cons prior to II IH flnul act. The entire scone was laid In a villa on the RIvlora. Both living room and bedroom sols woro ap- propriatel y and beautifull y done by Robert (lundlach. Stage director wus Martin Rltt. It 1B difficult to appraise the play and Its Immodlato sotting without rerorenco to the view that meets ono's eye when glancing from the auditorium out the window before concealing darkness lulls. To a city theutro goer, It's Just tho play ; to a Coonamessett audlonce It 's tho pluce with that lovely lake und breeze us an enhancing back- ground for the Jewel ,—which Is , of course, after all , the play Itself.

P. O. Box 433 Hyannis, Massachusetts July 20, 1949 Editor The Barnstable Patriot Hyannis, Massachusetts My dear Editor ; Although I have not noticed auy editorial comment on the subject, to my knowledge there is consid- erable poular interest and wonder about the "admission charge" to Cralgvllle Beach, especially among the taxpayers and voters. Hence, I am addressing this letter to both our weekly and dally publications. And Just to show that my inter- est in this situation is not strictly private nor the result of a "chip on the shoulder" attitude, may I state that In the last four Town elections I have received as candi- date for Selectman 755 votes in 1946; 1173 in 1947; 710 in 1948; and 987 this year in March. These figures represent between twonty- live to thirty-five percent of the total votes cast in each election , und twice they were only eight votes from the winning total. Many of those people have talked with me about this Cralgvllle Beach parking fee and asked me it I thought something could be done to eliminate this form of double taxation imposed without author- ity of the people, by the Selectmen of Barnstable. So, my dear Editor, that explains my continued Interest in the mat- tor to the point of requesting the favor of your columns once more, for publication of this letter. Sinco my last communication published , 1 understand some re- forms or modification of the orig- inal pay-as-yoti-conio policy, or command, or whatever the arbi- trary action Is culled , have boon instituted. Someone told mo that It is necessary to pay only ono I foe of 25 conlB per duy now , elim- inatin g tho multiple payments of those who might go out In their car and return a number of tlmos In ono day. Such solicitude would be vory lino except for tho fact that the principle at stake IB still the same in spite of this nice gesture. ir It is right for tho Selectmen of Barnstable to charge a 25 cent fee to use the Cralgvllle Beach parking area, then It is right for them , in principle, to charge ono dollar, or ten dollars , or ono hun- dred dollars , and to do so on the othor beaches , or any property which is In I heir euro and cus- tody. Tho amount or the foe Is un- important, relativel y, UB compared to the principle involved. There Is absolutely nothing in tho enabling act (Chapter 358 , Acts ot 1939) which would permit them to go this far , except through a by-law duly enacted by the TOWN; and even that would bo questionable, 1 think, as far as a parking fee Is imposed on the taxpayers Is con- cerned. The C.C. M.A., next to the munici- pal area at Cralgvllle , has been a private beach for a long time, but they were unable to e n f o r c e their restrictions b e y o n d the high-water mark, und their pro- tecting barrier could not be ex- tended beyond this point. Why— because such high water area is the property of the people, and no one has any greater right or priv- ilege than any other, but JuBt as much. So does our Cralgvllle mu- nicipal boach belong to the people, and no one has any right to re- strict the uBe of It, to the extent of charging parking fees of the resident and Inhabitants, without the consent of the Town, at least; acting within legislative authority. It Is to be noted that the Select- men made no mention of their twenty-five cent fee ion their pla- card of Rules and Regulations of the beach posted at Various points tiieroj Nor was . there any.notifica- tion; ducet'a brief news item, tfivea Hbout" 'fhfs' ^JB- renf * few "Arid you " will "also "note that Wo- signs at the beach area entrance, which tell of this fee, contain no names or signatures which would enable anyone to understand who was au- thority for this action. Why all this effort to seemingly avoid definite responsibility and to institute such a unprecedented action in a very haphazard and questionable man- ner. It does not seem as though anyone sure of their ground would carry on in that manner. If thnt is BO, and many other voters also think it is, why don't the Selectmen get on tinner ground and stop using the inhabitants , residents, and their guests ns a menus of raising extra revenue, no mattor how worthy a public pur- pose for which it will ho usod. Otherwise, such n charge against those who have already paid their share to equip and maintain this Cralgvllle Beach area becomes "Taxation without Hoprosonta- Hon," a phrase just as pregnant With meaning as it was at tho time It provoked tho "Boston Ton Party". Either we, hero In the birth- place ot our country, carry on in that purest form of Democracy we ore wont to boast of , or else we should give up the pretense and roconcile ourselves to a Govern- ment of Men—not a Government of Law. Thank you, my friends of the press. Cordially yours, E.
