Local tennis enthusiasts and a
number from out of town Satur
day afternoon saw a series of ex
citing singles and doubles match
es on the Pinehurst Country Club
clay courts.
Bo Roddey of Greensboro and
Whit Cobb of Durham, who play
ed exhibition matches at Pine
hurst in the fall, were here Sat
urday. The nephew of Pinehurst
tennis pro Joe Roddy, Dr. ’‘Do”
probably holds more state closed
titles than any other man in ten
nis history. He and Cobb, fifth
ranking player in the state 11
years ago teamed to win the
Southern Conference Doubles
Championship.
The other two players were
Jack Warmath of Greensboro and
Herb Brown of Charlotte. Warm
ath and Bo Roddey last summer
won the state doubles title. Brown
tennis team and the 1961 North
Carolina Singles runner-up
In the first singles match War-
math defeated Cobb, 6-5.
The second match was a hard-
fought* set, with some brilliant
volleying, between Bo Roddey
and Herb Brown with the latter,
who seemingly could do no
wrong, defeating Roddey 8-4.
Roddey and Warmath then
teamed to win against Cobb smd
Brown in the third set of the ex
cellent doubles match.
Spring Tournament
On Saturday, April 28, the
spring tennis tournament opens,
under direction of Pro Roddey,
on the clay courts.
The tourney to last through the
week, will have a men’s and a
women’s division and a junior di

Entries to date are mostly from
A pert and lively comedy, “Un
der the Yum-Yum Tree,” sent
Tuesday’s first-night audience at
the Pinehurst Theatre into gales
of laughter throughout its four
scenes and two acts.
The play, which will run
through Sunday night, provides
a merry ending for the Pinehurst
Playhouse’s spring series. Fast-
paced and lively, it sparkles along
its insouciant way, ably carried
by four attractive and talented
performers.
It’s a racy play, not for chil
dren, filled with sexy situations
—but let it be said, virtue, or a
reasonable facsimile, triumphs in
the end.
Mary Harrigan, an elfin and
button-cute blonde, stirs up all
the ruckus when she proposes
that her serious young sweetheart
move into her borrowed apart
ment on a platonic basis. Object,
to find out if their characters, are
compatible without interference
of the physical. Richard Morse,
the young attorney who loves her,
takes her up on it but finds the
terms well-nigh impossible to
The devil creeps in in the form 96-Point Total Wins
of the landlord, an across-the-1 g.j jg
hall Lothario, who in a casufil'^
and offhand .way mounts a sneaky
campaign of the type which has
always worked before, so why
shouldn’t it his time? Robert
Moore does a masterful bit in the
role of the wily Hogan, who ad
mits he’s no good, he lies, he
eavesdrops, he uses pink flowers
and stuffed toys as props—and
almost gets away with mimder.
The heroine, Robin, is saved
by the bell—in the person of old
friend Louise Latham, a somwhat
dignified lady who happens to
be a sociology professor and origi
nal owner of the apartment.
After lending it out, she leaves,
but keeps popping back—she has
her own interest in Hogan, and
manages to protect her interests
as well as those of the marriage-
minded pair.
The moral, if there is one, is
that this platonic stuff doesn’t
work. Something’s got to give—
and it can be darned funny hap
pening. In the hands of this deft
quartet—again with a special
isalute to Hogan—it’s a riot.
Curtain is at 8:30 nightly, with
a Saturday matinee at 2, except
for a special post-theatre party
performance at 9 tonight (Thurs-
day).
“Yum-Yum” winds up the
Pinehurst Playhouse’s season,
which has provided a rich menu
during the past 10 weeks, offer
ing drama, comedy, tragedy, even
a musical (“The Boy Friend”)
with casts studded with fine, ex
perienced performers. From the
theatre, movies and television
shows they have come, to give
the Sandhills an exciting theatri
cal season.
Viewers have come from all
over the State. From the stage
this week Donald Filipelli, young
producer of the Playhouse, speaks
his thanks to the audience, and in
the program reveals his plans to
come back in 1963. He’s certain
to find an even warmer welcome.
