CANDLE' Cyril Ritchard and Joan Greenwood I COLOR I King Rupert’s subjects, the people of Brandovia, are extremely unap¬ preciative. They revolt against this charm¬ ing monarch, and throw out not only Rupert himself but also his intended bride, Irina, and his remarkable prime minister, Bibo. But the mischievous Irina has taken with her the glorious Brandovian pearls. Furious, the exiled Rupert vows to retrieve them.

Pearls, jobs, democracy lead His Majesty a merry chase, as do Irina and the attractive Mrs. Lily Candle, proprietress of a dancing school. Sumner Locke Elliott’s play, “The King and Mrs. Candle,’’ was seen originally, with Ritchard, Greenwood and Manning, on the Sunday night “TV Playhouse’’ in April 1954. Now it is a musical, and the ^ongs have been composed by “Moose” Charlap, who did most of those for “Peter Pan.” Lyrics are by Chuck Sweeney. If the show goes over big with viewers, it will be headed for a Broadway production. CAST Kinp Rupert . Cyril Ritchard Irina ... Joan Greenwood Bibo . Richard Haydn Mrs. Lily Candle .
