AT PINEHURST PLAYHOUSE
Whimsical ‘Bell, Book and Candle’
Presented With Polish and Charm
“Bell, Book and Candle,” this
week’s Pinehurst Playhouse of
fering, is all whimsy. This is a
warning as well as commenda
tion. If you can’t take whimsy in
large doses, don’t go near it. It
has no message. It’s even clean
as a new pin.
The whimsy ornaments a rath
er standard love story, set in the
standard smart Manhattan apart
ment house, with the formula of
girl wants boy, girl gets boy, girl
loses boy, then—pow! Clinch.
The only difference is the girl
is a witch, one of a family of
witches and warlocks, and she
goes after the guy she wants with
magic spells.
All this is done with polish
and charm, and soft-sell comedy
lines in the smooth and subtle
John Van Druten manner. Hoily
Hill as Gillian Holroyd, who
could win the Miss Inferno beau
ty contest on any witches’ sab
bath, is almost too cool, calm and
composed as she goes about her
deadly business, but humanizes
when, at last, really in love she
^eds real tears. John Hallow is
excellent as the just-plain-human
guy from the upstairs apartment
who falls, befuddled but happy,
into her arms. Gillian’s dashing
warlock brother is attractively
played by the almost-too-beauti-
ful, curly-blonde youth, Evan
Thompson.
Stealing every scene she’s in
is Margaret Braidwood as Auntie,
an artful old pixy on mischief
bent. She’s aided and abetted by
William Jackson as a soggy cel
ebrity who falls into the hands of
this fantastic crew.
It’s light entertainment, lightly
done, pleasant enough and not
much more. Curtain time is 8:30
p. m. through Sunday night, witn
Saturday matinee at 2:30. This
is the next-to-last offering of the
Playhouse’s 10-week series, the
Sandhills’ springtime slice
of Broadway.

FINAL PLAYHOUSE PRODUCTION
‘Champagne Complex’ Opens April 23
The New York comedy hit
“Champagne Complex” by Leslie
Stevens will be the final attrac
tion of the season at the Pine
hurst Playhouse. It will open
Tuesday, April 23, and will run
thru Sunday evening, April 28.
Performances will be given at
8:30 in the evenings and a Satur
day matinee at 2:30.
Holly Hill, John Hallow and
Evan Thompson will portray the
three points in “Champagne Com
plex” triangle—Miss Hill as the
Champagne-loving heroine, Evan
Thompson as her pompous, pru
dish lover, and John Hallow as
the psychiatrist who uncovers the
secret of the girl’s “Champagne
Complex.”
Critics have emphasized that
the play is in good taste despite
the heroine’s propensity to strip
off her clothes, noting that this
is incidental to the main action
of the comedy which is the grad
ual discovery of why she must
do it.
The Pinehurst Playhouse pro
duction of “Champagne Complex”
is directed by Robert Paine Gross
and the setting is designed by
Scott Adam.
