News $x Reviews by Mary Alderson Arsenic and Old Lace the celebrated comedy about murder and the nice old Brewster sisters, begins July 28 at Huron Country Playhouse. Theparadoxical title refers to the attire and activities of the Brewster sisters, Abby and Martha, (two of the most charming and lovable old ladies who ever filled a cellar full of cadavers.) The two batty but lovable Brewster sisters, dispensers of cheer and goodwill to all -- to say nothing of elderberry wine spiked with arsenic will be played by Doris Petrie as Abby and Jessica Booker as Martha. Their oldest nephew, Jonathon, whose pride suffers a severe blow when he discovers that his record to twelve murders has been matched by the twelve graves in the cellar, will be played by Jim McNabb. It is nephew Jonathon's disconcerning resemblance to movie- villian Boris Karloff that eventually causes nim to give himself away, thus losing his title of America's most prolific murderer to his two aunts. In the role of Doctor Einstein, plastic surgeon for the under -world, whose weakness for whiskey and motion pictures has resulted in Jonathon's un- fortunate face, will be seen John Heath. The role of Mortimer, the drama critic who discovers the sisters lethal hobby, will be played by Joseph Matheson, and the part of Elaine, Mortimer's fiance from next door will be acted by Erica Kohl. Mortimer's brother Teddy, whose belief that he is really Theodore Roosevelt has caused him to dig the Panama Canal in the cellar of the old house in Brooklyn, will be played by Peter Purvis. Others in the cast are; Tom Arnott; John Carroll; Bill Glover; Bill Milne; Les Salmon; David Sandilands and Don Saunders. 8SpKs TVBpOVR AVE Royal Wedding Souvenirs We have thorn....
