Fortunately the production of the play matches the skill that Simon put into writing it. Chapter Two is the semi - autobiographical account of Simon's marriage to•actress Marsha Mason soon after his beloved first wife dies of cancer. It has all the fun- niness of a Neil Simon com- edy. and a little more. Because of Simon's personal experience. this play is entwined with some sadness and tenderness. Director Aileen Taylor - Smith has brought out both the humour and the sorrow, to make this spell -binding entertainment. She is to be congratulated for making what could be a simple com- edy. very touching and thought-provoking.

As George Schneider, Swartz is witty.natural and handles the one-liners easily. Bennett is excellent as Jennie Malone — you feel like you've met a friend. A. Frank Ruffo and Bar- bara Wheeldon provide the comedy relief as George's brother Leo. and Jennie's best friend Faye. You're tempted at first not to take Ruffo too seriously as Leo — you think he's just there to provide the laughs. But he is the one that carries the most moving scene of the play. as he explains to Jennie what George went through at the time of his first wife's death. You find yourself reaching for a kleenex during his earnest talk with .Jennie. Ruffo demonstrates his versatility well. and we even get a glimpse of his experience as a choreographer in the silly seducation scene with Faye. Wheeldon as Faye is fun- ny. likeable and breezy. Her facial expressions add much to the lines Simon has given her. Mark ('ole is to be com- mended for the excellent set Both apartments (Jen- nie's and George's) are on stage at the same time. The two sets are distinct, and not cluttered. The lights go up on one as the action is there. then moves to the other when the action changes, leaving the empty apart- ment in the dark. Such a setting is far better than dropping the curtain and having to hump and move sets in between each scene The ripeness of the set was also Netter than having some kind of barrier erected Chris Popov ich also did well with the lighting, mov- ing easily from one apart- ment to the other.

You see, every now and then I write a column which begins "by the time you read this...", and try to make a prediction. Usually these columns are designed to make you green with envy. For example, last February I wrote: "By the time you read this, I will be relaxing in sunny Florida, while you are digging out from last night's snow storm." Well this time I'll be green, and you'll be laughing. By the time you read this, I'll be green around the edges. You will probably be sitting in your comfortable air conditioned office, or perhaps lounging on your cedar deck in the sunshine. I will just be recovering from surgery, and minus four wisdom teeth. My plans for today (Wednesday) include spending the afternoon at University Hospital, London, and coming home without four molars. I may not be looking forward to this adventure, but I am looking forward to getting rid of these teeth. Not that I've ever 'seen them, mind you. For years now, these four teeth have been sitting under my gums in the back of my mouth. Most of the time I didn't know they were there. But just as I forgot about them, they would give me a not -so -gentle reminder, and spend the next four or five days, pushing as hard as they could on my gums. I don't think these teeth ever wanted to break through my gums, they just liked to cause me severe pain every few weeks. Of course, they were never hurting me at the time of my annual check up with the dentist. The dentist just kept x- raying them, and telling me how there was nothing wrong with them, and how they'd break through one of these days. Finally this year, the dentist conceded that perhaps these teeth weren't going to come through. Since they were irritating me more and more, he suggested I have them removed. He said I'd feel better. I went to University hospital for a consultation and tame home with an official looking document saying that I was having a "multiple odontectomy" and the removal of "unerupted or impacted third molars." Sounds horrible. I also came home with a bill for $140. That did not make me feel better. Just mention that you're having your wisdom teeth pulled, and everyone's an expert. Either they, or a good friend, or a member of their family hasgone through the exact same thing. They have all kinds of advice and information -- most of it doesn't agree with what I just heard from someone else. While some kind folks have told me I'll bounce right back and feel fine the next day, most are not that op- timistic. 0 I have beer -fold that I'll feel rotten for five days — due to the general anesthetic, and my mouth will hurt for two weeks. And no doubt, my face will be black and purple from bruises. "People will think you've been in a bar room brawl," one dear friend informed me. I've also been told that the big, gaping holes in my mouth will drive me crag y. "But if you just press on them, they don't hurt as much," the kind advisors say. But an information sheet from my doctor says to keep fingers, tongue and other objects out of the sockets. Advice on surviving the days following the operation abounds. I have been told by one person to drink nothing but water, while another tells me he survived only by drinking pink lemonade and gin. I guess the pink colour is supposed to cheer you up. Another person told me to drink icy, cold milk shakes, while another advised me that I would only be able to tolerate liquids at room temperature. I have been told not to spit - - you have to let the blood coagulate -- which doesn't do much for my weak stomach. I have been told not to drink with a straw, as that will pull out stitches. All very cheery news indeed. In any case, I'm about to find this out for myself and next week 1 will have the definitive word on having molars pulled. I have also been told that you lose some of your wisdom when you have your wisdom teeth pulled. I don't have any to spare. SwEaL sIoI2.
