Great New Paperbacks Hit Market
The excitement in Sue Walton's The Grasshopper (Crest, 95 cents) is unusually different. The hero is a sexual superman who invades a quiet English town, seduces women right and left, and gets ready to save them. The villain uses other plans for him. Good for the town.

By MARGARET SEVERSON Kansan Reviewer
'Matchmaker' Merry, Boisterous, Enjoyable
For a very mery evening, see "The Matchmaker," at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS, and next Friday and Saturday nights. It is directed by Tom P. Rea, with a perhaps conventional, but nonetheless theatrical approach to the comical, farcical efforts to spring right
The play is the sort of nineteenth century face that many would have regarded as obsolete. A good deal of resourcefulness and a stage filled with boisterousness that is broad and funny, lifts the play to almost pure enjoyment.
There are intimations that mankind is wonderfully foolish and money looms moderately large for all its caperings and charm. But even more foolish is how wildlife misrepresent the human species.
Not much happens in "The Matchmaker" except that a scherming widow, played admirably by Cynthia Appley, tricks Mr. Vandergelerd, a rich merchant of Yonkers, to marry her and get married to marrying her. "Money," says Dolf Levy, "is like manure. It's no good unless its spread around." And she proceeds to expand her expense account. In the course of the story, two of Mr. Vandergelerd's clerks rebel against drudgery and take a whirl with two New York millers, while his wife wins his consent to her marrying an artist.
The set, designed by James Gohl, is probably among the most well done of painted sets around. It and the actors seem to be inspired by the formations at the finale), which keeps you aware of 'watching a performance'. The play ends with a wish for its 'ad audience and joy and the right proportions of adventure and staving at home.
Costumes by Chez Heahl suit the characterizations and offset the scenery. But the exact date of the play is, because of a leak in the screen, characters left to the viewer's imagination.
The exact time all this is taking place, though, really matters little, as can be explained by the program notes on the plav's history.
Dolly and Mr. Horace Vandergeler give a quite pair, except for a difference in
(Pocket, 55 cents), which takes place in a spooky old mansion hidden in the elms and
Historical fiction always abounds, and there are three interesting new offerings in paperback. Jean Plaidy has told us about various kings and queens, and in The Wandering Prince (Creat, 39 cents) her hero was a king of the kingdom, monarchine before he came to the throne and became the Merry Monarch of Restoration days.
their ages, Neal Fenter plays his character to the hilt. Appeals seem to lack that calm wisdom which comes with the maturity of age and so the audience is not quite sure of what happens when she does come out to an extent in her solitude near the end and she is enchanting at times.
Seventy-seven singers and dancers from Jlubjuba, Ugoslavia, will perform at the U.S. concert in New York on Friday.
The group, composed of two societies, the France Marolt Dancers and the Tone Tornic Choir, will perform folk songs and dances of Yugoslavia.
F. Van Wyck Mason is rostering about in the past, too, in The Brimstone Club (Pocket, $1.25), which tells us about young Jeremy Brett and his adventures with some of the most notorious figures sex and bauchery. The book is based on a real-life club known as the Heliell Fire Club.
Colin Machness also tells a good story, and in Three Years to Play (Pocket, 95) he describes his early days where he gets in a tussle between two gangs—the Venice Doge and the Genoa Doge, and a young playwright named Jesse interested and writes a play about it!
Two westerns by Hal G. Evarts round out the list of popular fiction—The Night Raiders and Renegade of Rainbow Bastin (and each), Evarts writes a good herd oer gorse.
Their appearance is sponsored by the KU
group's only appearance in the Midwest.
And finally for some classics. Pocket books has brought out, in extremely attractive editions, the center of interest in the art of visual lettering, literary intaglio and visual glossary, literary allusions and notes and critical excerpts an edition called "Enriched Classics". The new titles are accompanied by a series of the eray's Vanity Fair ($1.25), Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydre (75 cents), Hardy's
Irene Malley is lovely to look at, however Barby Bauer plays more the aggressive mother type to this viewer. Carroll McKee and Dan Lyons, as Cronelius Hackl and Barnaby Tucker keep the tone high and lively with rather believable characters full of life and youth, and Minnie Fay played by Barbara Hldsak is a delightful addition.

OUTRAGEOUS!
"THE WORST FILM I CAN RECALL SITTING THROUGH...EVER. A young victim is seduced into smoking the devil weed..No one seems to inhale, but it must be powerful stuff. Before the film is over, they all become screaming maniacs lumbering around like Frankenstein monsters, murdering people, leaping out of twelfth window windows and tearing at their throats shouting "Give me a reef!"." An incredible series of gross and ludicrous distortions that thirty six years later becomes hilarious when seen from the other side of the generation gap, a gap this film did so much to create."
