Elaine -wants to get right down to monkey business, a prospect which Cashman finds hard on his illusions. • Hamilton's character is blessed with some Of the play's best lines and she makes the most of the opportunities af- forded her to garner some earnest laughs . from the audience: Enter Margaret Hill, as dizzily derang: ed aspiring actress Bobbie Michelle, lured to Cashman's hideaway unknowing ' of his amc-ous intentions: The interplay between Hill and Creamer is fast -paced , and funny, culminating in a hilarious scene with the two of there smoking marijauna and lazily trading reminicences.
