Little Theatre Comedy Well Staged
Comedy with music describes the
latest stage production of the Ko
diactors which played Saturday
and Sunday evening with a matinee
Sunday afternoon at the Strickler
Little Theatre on the Naval Sta
tion.
In the tradition of Peter Pan, the
fantasy “Miss Mary Poppins” con
tained grownups as seen through
the eyes of children and a happy
commingling of little folk and
people from the “otherwhere.”
Nancy Nystrom, who carried the
role around which the entire play
was unfolded, as Miss Poppins, did
an excellent characterization of a
grownup from “otherwhere” who
dropped down to earth to act as
nurse to two delightful children,
Jane and Michael. This threesome
held the audience with their whim
sical lines, wholehearted support
to 'heir roles, spontaniety, and de
lightful acting. Cindy Carter as
Jane was the ever lovable imagin
ative child whose mind is peopled
with fairy tale folk, and Bill Ball
waber as Michael lent enchantment
to his role of a regular boy who
also must learn more about these
same fairy tale people. He display
ed complete stage presence, and
■aptitude in acting.
Clive Cnancey, the “ghost” of a
previous production by the group,
livened up his part of the “cat” in
this one, and offered a few funny
episodes. Others among the grown
ups in the cast were Louise Pel
letier. Wavnelle Kent. Frank Blue,
Jerry Loewe, Ralph Pelletier, Don
Gilbert, Bruce Nystrom, Betty
Routzahn, Karen Routzahn, Bar
bara Newell and Jeanne Kemper.
The play was -peopled with char
acters from the fairy tales, played
by little children, who made brief
b u t delightful appearances on
stage.'
Singing parts were nicely handl
ed by the grownups as well as the
children, with perhaps special men
tion of Nancy Nystrom.
It was evident that the cast had
worked hard and long before open
ing curtain night, but it was also
evident that someone skilled in
stagecraft had guided the produc
tion. Mrs. Marion Strickler, direc
tor in many previous stage succes
ses, also produced this one. The
outstanding performances of young
Cindy and Bill were undoubtedly

due to her coaching, as well as the
creditable performances of other
members of the cast. Her husband,
Lyle, also contributed to the suc
cess of the staging of the play.
This was in the nature of a swan
song for both of them, for they
left Kodiak Tuesday for a new as
signment. S.J.D.
CONSIDERATE BURGLAR
A burglar stole $90 from a home
in Cranston, Rhode Island. But he
was very considerate of the
family’s budget. He took $20 from
a rent envelope—and left $25. He
took $10 from an insurance enve
lope — and left $15. About the
family’s plans to buy a new car,
he was less enthusiastic. He took
$60 from the car envelope—and
left only $8.

Now
Ford frees you forever
from the expense and bother
of frequent car servicing.
Twice-a-year maintenance is here
and only the cars from Ford
have it!
In a new Ford Galaxie or Fairlane, the
odometer rolls off a long 6,000 miles
between every service stop. Compare
this with other ’62 cars and here’s what
you’ll find: many cars still have to check
in for service every 1,000 miles; some
every 2,000 miles; others every 4,000
miles. Only the cars from Ford need
service only twice a year, or every 6,000
miles.
When you own a ’62 Galaxie or
i
Fairlane, you don’t have to drive with
one eye on the odometer to make sure
you’re not forgetting an oil change or
a grease job or other servicing. Ford’s
twice-a-year maintenance saves you
time, saves you money. Just one stop
every 6,000 miles takes care of servic
ing. You’ll go 30,000 miles between
major lubrications, 6,000 miles between
oil changes and minor lubrications, 2
years or 30,000 miles without changing
engine ceolant-antifreeze. Brakes adjust
themselves.
Why buy a service headache when
Ford is ready with the cure? See your
Ford Dealer—and see how
