Monique Play Opens Tonight
As Second Major Production
By BOB ROBINSON
Battalion Special Writer
Take one unhappily married
couple, Fernand Ravel, a travel
ing rifle salesman, and his wife,
Lucienne, and then add one Dr.
Monique Rigaud. The result is
one body, quite dead.
The play is “Monique” and it
opens at 8 tonight in Guion Hall.
A sophisticated murder mystery
that even Alfred Hitchcock
would be proud of, it is the Aggie
Players’ second major production

of the year.
Written by Dorothy and
Michael Blankfort, “Monique”
was adapted from “Celle Qui
N'ettait Plus,” literally translated
as, “She, Who Wasn’t” a novel
by Pierre Boileeau and Thomas
Narcejac. Directing the Aggie
Players production is C. K. Esten.
WHAT HAPPENS when Lu

WASHINGTON
President Johnson asked Congress to boost postage
rates, including one cent each on letters, and to raise
the pay of federal employes and members of the armed
forces.
The administration may have to ask Congress to put
a delayed fuse on President Johnson’s tax surcharge plan,
proposed for July 1, to get around a serious problem in
timing.
President Johnson is reported to be planning no fight
for Senate approval of a resolution pledging new U. S.
aid for Latin American development at next week’s hem
ispheric summit conference.

way, who is a cold, calculating,
shrewd, and incidentally, very
attractive woman who has fought
her way from a coal mining town
to a medical degree. Fernand
falls in live. The next logical
step is someone’s death.
THE METHOD by which this
death is accomplished is quite
intriguing and the audience is in
a state of suspense from the time
the play opens until the final
curtain. Occasionally, this sus
pense is prolonged somewhat in
the characters of Henrietta, the
not-quite-honest maid in the
Ravel household, played by Cyn
thia Smith; Gouttez, the interior
decorator with an unquenchable
thirst, played by David Risinger,
and Andre, Lucienne’s hypo-
chrondriac brother, played by
Fred Rich.
VIETNAM
Soviet aid shipped from Black Sea port of Odessa
to North Vietnam has increased sharply over the past two
months.
North Vietnam’s civilian centers immune to bombing
drew criticism from the U. S. Air Force Officers. Foul
weather has limited air raids.
PROVIDING THE question
mark to a perfect crime is Mer
lin, the retired detective who
knows something isn’t quite right
but isn’t sure what, played by
Randy Teipel. Sandra Rose plays
Lisette, a teenage girl who be
lieves she is in love with, and the
only one to really understand,
Fernand.
“Monique” continues Friday
and Saturday and April 10-12.
Curtain time is at 8 each night.
Admission is $1.00. •
