They, meet there in the Players production of - The Moon Is Blue" which opened last night at Center Stage to a full house. Audience Delighted By 'Moon Is Blue' By EDMUND REISS "The Moon Is Blue" looked out upon a delighted audience last night at Center Stage as Players presetnted its rendition of F.

These prisoners, are awaiting the. start• of explanations by both sides aimed at persuading them to change their minds. Recently, after Indian troops killed three prisoners and wound ed ten in putting dizwn two riots, South Korea's 'government sent a note—relayed by the Bth Army—, threatening armed action against the - Indians.

Miss •May was superb in her performance as- the chaste, can did adventuress who amazes and delights everyone. With a spark ling demonstration of spirit and vitality and by lending some of her vivacity to the other charac ters, she succeeded in uplifting the whole vein of the play. The most, comfortable moments came when she and Howard War ren appeared alone. Only then did the small talk seem free and easy. Makeup, Wardrobe No Asiet Although Warren, as the 'im moral., middle-aged libertine, had several faults, he, nevertheless presented a picture of the utmost amiability, and it is not at all difficult to understand why Miss May says she likes him. His makeup and wardrobe es pecially, certainly didn't treat him as being anywhere near mid dle-age, and his southern accent, although in general handled very well, occasionally drifted into one with a 'Brooklynese' flavor.
