A huge triumph for over a year in New York in 1955 and 1956, "The Matchmaker" was later made into a movie staining Shirley Booth, Tony Perkins, and i Shirley MacLaine. The play is ' a series of jokes within a joke, since it is a collection of boisterously funny situations satirically framed in the broadly farcical style that the 19th century theatregoers delighted in. It relates a day's adventures in New York of a group of people from nearby Yonkers, centering on a pompous, wealthy merchant who has gone to the metropolis to seek a wife and is particularly interested in a demure milliner. Accompanying the plot are unabashed staples of old-fashioned farce, such as people hiding under tables, falling out of suddenly opened cupboards, masquerading in other people's costumes and other examples of fast, helter-skelter exuberance. Tickets for the play will go on sale at the theatre next week. Paradigm Editor Lindley A.
