Misfortune Cast Of A Door Falls On Technic From Many Falls; Leg "If the members of the eas hearsal, "Captain Applejack" says Prof. Ml. G. Christophei laiyers, sponsors of the prodw "So many things are happening to my actors," said the director, "that I'm afraid I should have triple cast ed, instead of double casted, the parts." At each practice something new be falls one or more of the cast. "I've heard of funny things happening back stage," said Professor Christopher sen, "but the off stage scenes of "Captain Applejack" are really trag ic." In the first place, so many of the actors are supposed to be killed in the play itself that most of the cast is wearing blue whelts, gotten from trying to learn the art of fall ing correctly after the death blow has been struck. Julian lennig and Vil Ham Dworkin, double casted as Mr. Pengarde, are both just big blue spots. Each character has to be cast in so many roles that the make-up staff is almost (lead with making up play ers, then tearing them down and making themi up on an entirely dif ferent pattern. To add to the rest of his troubles, Professor Christophersen, almost found himself minus a scenery expert, when he dropped a door on the head of Carolyn layes. The lump has aimost gone from the stage artist's head, but she still draws up into a knot when the director pats her head as a reward for some excellent work. Ambrose Applejohn (Dick Ander son) got so worked up while re hearsing that he bent his trusty sword's blade with several vicious cuts through the ozone. I fowever. this won't happen again as the stage manager has procured a stouter blade for Ambrose.
