"Written, produced, directed by.
■ind starring Jerry Lewis" might
well lie the marquee heading for
"The Bellboy," which is playing
currently at the Campus.
Co-starring Milton Be -le and

to have no story line. It is a string
of scenes showing Lewis as the
"world's dumbest hotel bellman."
One scene even shov. . bellboy
Lewis greeting a gi'?st star, actor
Jerry Lewis, in the fabulous Fon-
tainebleuu hotel, Miami Beach.

Monday.
Kiss Me Kate Offers Variety
In Casa Manana Summer Show
Casa Manana reached the apogee
of aspiration in its annual summer
musical orbit with "Kiss Mr Kate."
And for the must part, the results
were as high as the aspirations.
"Kiss Me Kate," to close with
Saturday's performance, is a dilli-
cult production for a theatre-in-the-
■ ound auditorium such as Casa
Manana because the play has 17
scenes, I'cu'h calling for a change
of props. And a change of props in
theatre-in-the-round means a
hlacked-out auditorium, the scui
lying of stage hands up the aisle,
and often a shattering of the mood
that had been created.
However, the intrinsic entertain-
ing quality of the Cole Porter mu-

tin show's principals, William
Chapman as Fred Graham and
Marthe Earrolle as Lilli Vancssi,
overcame most of the roadblocks
that production difficulties created.
The show has everything any-
one would want legs, laughs, ro-
mance, dancing, and dames.
Chapman gives the outstanding
performance of the show, both as
Craliam and as Petruchio in the
play-within-a-play. His strong
voice and casual but ext . Merit act-
ing give the show some of its liner
moments. Ami also some of it-
most unusual. Chapman placed a
hairpiece on his scantily covered
dome in full view of the audience
during the first act.
Miss Earrolle is most convincing
as the flery-tempi-rcd shrew, Kate,
and as Lilli. Her renditions of 1
