Shaw's "The Apple Cart' Draws Praise At Niagara By VICTOR STANTON NIAGARA - ON-THE - LAKE, Ont. (CP)--Paxton Whitehead and Zoe Caldwell received cries of "bravo" from a capacity au- dience and commendation from the critics at Tuesday night's premiere of George Bernar Shaw's The Apple Cart, third and final production of the 1966 Shaw Festival. The festival--in its fifth year --has featured productions of Shaw's Man and Superman and Misalliance, both directed by Canadian actor Barry Morse, the festival's artistic director. Ralph Hicklin of the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote for his paper that the two performers in a half-hour-long single scene "gave one of the most dazzling displays of high comedy that anybody, in any theatre any- where, has seen for a time." | The play, except for the inter-| lude scene between Mr. White- head and Miss Caldwell, amounts to a political debate of parliamentary length. It depicts an imaginary English king de- fending his role as a monarch) against his prime minister and| cabinet ministers -- of both/ sexes--who seek to curb his regal powers. long) of the few actors who could come within a mile of matching) the glories of Miss Caldwell's; performance, and he gives as good as he gets." But the first act was a "bore" and the third "a letdown." Edward Gilbert's he says, "turns it (Act one) into 'an inordinately clumsy game of | musical chairs." The third act "being played in entirely' was the wrong key." Adrian Waller of the Hamil-| ton Spectator said the success of the production undoubtedly hinged in Paxton Whitehead and called Miss Caldwell's perform- ance "exceptional." He couldn't recall -having seen more consistent performance by one actor over such a long space of time -- about three hours--than that of Mr. White- head as King Magus. He said the production was subtly directed but felt it didn' i put across the playwright's in- tention.

OTTAWA (CP) -- Permits to import 229 head of French Char-| olais cattle have been issued to; 191 cattle breeders across Can-| ada, the federal agriculture de- partment reported Tuesday. Earlier reports said 252 Cana- dian buyers had sought permis- sion to bring in 1,730 Charolais, a top-flight breeding stock. Quarantine facilities cannot cope with that number. Of the 229 to be imported this year, 10 will go to British Co- katchewan, 10 to Manitoba, 38 As an actress of manners, she has no peers. "Her crafts- manship is subtly disciplined. Her delivery is a thing of joy. She can find the comic value of the plainest sound." Mr. Cohen said that Mr. Whitehead "carries the main burden and is creditable at all times." The rest of the play 'sparks and sputters"" and "'lacks buoy- ancy." ROC K'N' ROLL, MAYBE LONDON (CP)--A bomb dis- don airport when mysterious crackling noises were heard coming from a suitcase.

The council of the British Bridge League, which received the report of the inquiry, de- clined to make it public but said a copy would be sent to the World Bride Federation which had investigated the originally charges. These involved Boris Scha- piro, 54, and Terence Reese, 51, international bridge partners for the last 25 years.
