Playhouse in review: "Flowers” Provides Bouquet of Loughter Director Joyce Me Kinney can sit back and relax if Monday night’s sneak preview of the Putnam County Playhouse’s production of“Send Me No Flowers" is any indication of the show’s success. “Flowers” opens tonight at Me Anally Center at 8 p.m. and continues through Saturday. Tickets are available at the door, and are SI.50 for adults, and SI for students through age 18. The Norman Barasch-Carroll Moore comedy is focused on George Kimball, played by Dr. James Elrod, who is a victim of hy pochondria. George overhears his doctor discussing another patient and gains the false notion that he is going to die. He then sets out to establish the future security of his wife, Judy (played by Nancy Jo McFarland), by attempting to line up a second husband for the soon-to-be widow. The obvious choice for Husband #2 is Judy’s old college flame, Bert Power, portrayed by Allan Feld, who just happens to drop in at the time of George’s attack of hypochondria. All goes well, until Judy becomes suspicious of George’s intentions and accuses him of having an affair. Elrod swings into the character of the moaning, groaning George Kimball with such ease, that audiences w ill probably leave the theatre after the last curtain call to go home and pour over their medical dictionaries for a diagnosis of the sharp pain in their sides.. .which w ill more than likely be due to an acute case of laughter. Concerning Mrs. McFarland’s performance: Just add freckles and a bottle of peroxide, and there you have it—instant Doris Day fque sera sera.'). The Playhouse welcomes, as will the audience, a newcomer to its stage, Mike Mitchell, who plays the part of Arnold Nash, a neighbor and close friend of the Kimballs. After hearing of George’s impending doom, Arnold proceeds to get smashed and teeters about the stage full of good intentions and scotch. Allan Feld, who plays the role of Bert Power, was unable to be present for Monday night’s performance, but promises to show up tonight with “boots" on. Ray Mizer portrays the cussing Doctor Morrissey, whose major concern during the plot is what field he should have specialized in. Tom Albin comes across with a just-corny-enough Vito. Steve Shoup steals a scene with his characterization of Mr. Akins, the man who sells cemetery plots with a smile— from ear to ear. Marcia Broadstreet carries the naughty, but nice, part of Miss Mason very convincingly, and Fred Silander and Nancy Amers deliver lines as passersby. Anne Coffin plays a figment of Judy’s imagination, George’s alleged girlfriend. Although the title suggests that flowers be omitted, the audience is guaranteed a big bouquet of laughter and a good time to be had by all!

Opening lead - queen of clubs.

Assume you’re in six hearts and West leads a club. There is obviously a chance of losing the slam if you misjudge the diamonds and also lose a spade finesse, so all your thoughts must be riveted on ways and means of playing the diamonds so as to make the contract even if you misguess the queen. Fortunately there is a way of playing the hand that makes the slam practically certain. The proper line of play is to ruff the club, draw trumps, ruff dummy’s last club, and lead a diamond to the king. Let’s say both defenders follow suit and that when you continue with a low diamond from dummy Plast also plays low. To insure the slam you simply finesse the jack, not caring one whit whether West shows out or wins with the queen. If he shows out you have 12 tricks, and if he wins with the queen you also have 12 tricks. In the latter case, West will have to return a spade or a club, and either return brings you safely home. The same result would accrue if it turned out that West had three diamonds to the queen. In that event you would go up with the ace after East showed out, place West on lead with a diamond, and in that way also put him out of business. Declarer’s aim from the start must be to handle the diamonds in a manner designed not so much to guessing the location of the missing damsel as to making sure that if he misguesses the queen he still has the slam in tow. To make the contract is always the first consideration. Tomorrow: Bidding quiz.
