“Arsenic and Lace'— Brown Players Present Farce

By HENRY BUTLER Times Staff Writer NASHVILLE, July 19—“Arsenic and Old Lace” materialized on the Brown County Playhouse

stage last night for a four-week-|

end run. Simultaneously, Leonard Bernstein’s musical “On the Town” opened in East Hall on the Indiana University campus in Bloom-! ington.

Lee Norvelle's production of “Arsenic ‘and Old Lace,” dynami-| cally directed by Lyle Hagan, was another story. Dress rehearsal] Thursday, with no interruptions, was a regular performance.
